Thanks. I know exactly what you mean about broke....when I went to Vale Tech [now Wyotech] I was a broke man. I got a job working for the school cutting grass & upkeep just to buy beer & pay the rent. That sucked!!!

I found some surface rust on my rh front door. It was hiding, but I found it while sanding. I sandblasted the lower door & peeled the door skin back, then sandblasted inside also. Then I reattached the door skin with door skin adhesive & cleaned/coated the metal with Picklex. I'm gonna finish sanding this door tomorrow & hopefully start on sanding the rear door so that the paint can fly.

I didn't get much done tonight, got home late. I gotta finish sandblasting the outside of the door tomorrow. Then I need to sand the last rear door & I'll be ready to shoot paint on the jambs. I'm in no rush though, its too cold here to paint anyway...20*. After these 2 jambs are painted, I'll be hanging the doors & final prepping the body for paint... aligning fenders, adjusting door latches & final sanding & masking. When the cab/front clip are done, I'll be sanding the frame & painting it with zero rust. Then the bed will be my final phase.

I used SEM, it really holds well. I got a little on my outer door & the sandblaster had a hard time getting it off.

Today I blasted the outside of the lower door & coated with Picklex. This door is about ready for epoxy. I have been working long hours & haven't worked on the truck much this week, but hoping to be spraying the last 2 jambs this weekend.

Nice day today. I got the last 2 doors in primer & ready for sanding, then the paint will fly....on the jambs anyway. Then I'll be ready to hang the doors & get them adjusted/working properly. Then the cab, front clip will be ready for the next nice day. I would shoot them today, but MY STEELERS GOT A SUPERBOWL TO WIN!!!
