i have no clue on the welding lol

i would let the guy teach you atleast so you can try and he can tell you what to do along the way.

 

yea probably what i will do. ill see if he can do it this saturday. if not my mom knows some young chick my age that works for BASF (if you know what that is) but she can weld pretty darn good, or so i hear.

Yes sir. It says they located in Ohio but my part came from Virginia LOL. They have a ton of body panels. The prices are pretty good

 

started painting the inside rocker tonight. too dark for pictures though. ill get some tomorrow.

just called the guy that offered to show me how to weld, hes going to call me sunday afternoon so we can get this shiz going! rocker should be here in the AM.

 

look what just landed on my porch.



cant wait.

not sure how i want to paint the whole rocker though.

should i paint it all black with some undercoating or should i paint it red to match the truck? what do yall think?

 

match inside the door at least. i would rhino anything outside the truck. or ptm rhino the inside of door area.

 

I would personally paint to match. The outside of your truck is so clean and looks perfect. Now I'm no rust expert and have no idea how long it takes for something like that to rust, but since Its brand spanking new with a new coat of paint you should be fine right? But if things rust really super easily up there I think it would be a wise choice to rhino. To save time and some hassle, plus having a sound mine knowing there's no possibility of it rusting out. But I think if you were going to get them rhino lined I would look into a ptm match. I know they can mix color in and I think it would turn out good. But that's just a long list of ideas. haha

 

im thinking i might just PTM it. ill just have to sand down the existing pieces of the old rocker that didnt show any signs of rusting that i kept, just the front most piece of the old rocker panel, and repaint all of it. rhino line or undercoat the outside? the outside is really where the rust starts.

 

i would rhino it man. I've got to do my rabs rockers, and inside the doors/tailgate before the snow flys this year. Or i'll be replacing those too.
