Very nice looking work. What do you use to clean and fill your gaps (the green and black stuff on your body)? Thanks

it worked ok, i would fill in the most you can with styrene first.

The black you see was just some black paint so i could see all my imperfections in the body, Black brings out everything.


BTW thanks for the feed back all.

So i got bored tonight,

so i decided to do something with the bed so i went ahead and started a Sled Deck. (snowmobile deck FYI)

Then i decided i would scaler it out more and started a cabover, that i can set on top of the sled deck, but i ran outta styrene.

More to come, stay Subscribed "thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup""thumbsup"

Thanks for the info and link, I think I will pick some up since I dont like using bondo.
Also like the sled bed but not sure about the shell now. Maybe sweet when done, will have to wait and see. "thumbsup"

Went out to Moon Rocks today we a few ppl today to give the new rig a go.
So far awesome, I have to get the body mounted better tho. I had some Good Carnage today, But i build my shit to use and not shelf queen. lol, i get some pics of the Damage here in a bit. I had a few really good tumbles.

 

[slackerman]

Heres the Aftermath........... Have some Styrene, CA Gule, and some Plastic Weld all ready to fix it up tomorrow. The plus is, i hit 75% of all the 2.2 gates that were set up.

How'd the body hold up at the seams? Looks like one popped loose? Where'd you get the bumper from? The truck looks great!
