Little bit more accomplished today...
1. Slapped some primer on the lower tailgate repair (bottom 3"). Will need to sand and bondo a couple areas before it's ready for real paint.
2. Removed a few brackets, cleaned them up and sprayed them with some black. Not sure how that will look in the end with black brackets, but I think they will "pop" a bit with the grey paint in the end. We'll see.
3. Took every single screw/bolt out that is inside the cab or holding a door or WHY, put each one through a thread repair and reinstalled with anti-seize. The thread repair tool is NOT a cutting tool, but simply removes any rust or nicks on the threads. Let's just say each bolt threaded in by hand after I was done. Bam!
4. Removed the rear quarter panel uprights in anticipation of building storage access panels similar to Wagongear's. Figured I already had the spot weld drill out, so out they came...pop. Really nice and open without those "braces."
5. Finished the GT Mat on the ceiling. Much easier than the floor because there are no rolling divets. However, gravity sometimes didn't like it as I'm working in the cold so a bit of heat and things seemed to hold. Lots of seam tape pretties things up too.
6. Seam sealed the rear inner quarters where I fabbed new outer fenders and did the rear quarter chop. Still left the bottoms open with a few holes so as to allow moisture to escape.
7. Removed the overhead roof support and cleaned it up. Gonna paint it black. Probably won't even see it in the end because, well, I have something brewing of an idea that would make it disappear.
8. And lastly, fished in an orange pull string for when I pull my original wiring harness back into this rig!
