    So go with the 2k primer even if I have bare metal showing around the filler ?

    Yup the 2k will stick fine as long as it’s clean and sanded.

    Looking close to being ready to put some color on. That has to feel good... For someone like myself who's about to tear one apart..it's a little sobering LoL

    The mechanical leaves me no concern, the bodywork/paint is semi new territory.

    To my amazement it fit.... the hat channel holes were right on, the back riser holes were off front to back about 3/16" so I redrilled those.

    My only snafu. I think I will cut the square out of the old one and just weld it in the right spot, if it survives sandblasting

    This transmission tunnel has me stumped, when I made it I used the old one as a template and fit it to the tub using the transmission cover, and the hole for the pto was too far back.
    I cut the old square out , sandblasted it and welded it in based on the pto center

    Still some work to do,

    But now I'm faced with this , the transmission cover overlaps the hole. I can't figure out the problem

    In other news today, I welded the lap belt backing plates on

    I drilled the drain holes based on an original floor but when the swivel covers came from walcks they were 1/2" short so I had to fill a hole and redrill. Yes I learned my lesson.

    Drilled the clutch pedal and dimmer switch holes too

    Worked on this today trying to get it right

    [​IMG]

    Then I decided I'm spending way too much time on the bottom ......cuz I'm anal so I scuffed her up using a scuff brush (highly recommended)
