Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

Pic #1. Drivers side inner rocker was badly rotted so it gets cut out, the black is rust encapsulator The "A" pillar was also rotted and is fixed along with this.

Pic #2. The new piece I made to replace the bad.

Pic #3. Fitting the new piece, this will end up having a large hole drilled in it for a drain plug.

Pic #4. The final repair.

Till next time
Mark.

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

Looks good in primer.
Now on to the painter and then to the building stage?
Or am I going too fast here?

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

To be honest kees I'll let you guys vote.

The build is already complete and went home, so I have All the ammo I need to show as much as you would like to see.

That being said...would you rather move forward (bypass to paint)and assembly or more primer detail?

Let me know

Mark

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

Nice! That edge had to have been difficult to weld. Did you back it with copper?

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

Update:
Unfortunately while I was transferring pictures from one phone to another I lost 2000 pics! So I wont be able to show all the things I wanted.
Here are the start of paint (none during)That being said I really wanted to show all the shots from under the body as I sprayed the undercoat.
I call the color swamp water/baby poo brown

Pic 1. Backside of front fender

Pic 2. Topside just after painting.

Pic 3. During wetsanding

Pic 4&5 After polishing.

Re: Barger's 79 FJ40

Pic 1. Here is the way I get panels prepped during wetsanding.
I use fineline tape on all the edges to protect them from burning through.

Pic 2-3 after wetsanding and polish
