Started on the passenger door. Someone a long time ago that had no idea how to use body filler attempted to fix a large dent. Didn’t even attempt to remove any of the dent first. See what kind of mess I can make

Well, day one of my 14 day COVID exposure quarantine.... got someone’s awful attempt at body filler sanded, started removing dents and then ran some more wires from the new harness and mounted the cab light and the Retro Sound radio. By the way I am not impressed at all by Retro Sound. The way it mounts is way cheesy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Still collecting parts for my '63 Burb build.

But I did get my 17s 5x5 rims drilled with clips installed. I then prepped and painted them body color in my "Pig Barn Shop"

I will eventually be running 3" wide whites but since I am not completely sure of the final tire size I bought some cheap rollers online and had my local shop mount them to the painted wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Those look nice. I just got my rally wheels power coated white and can’t wait to see how they look on the truck. I would love to know when you get the white walls where you get them from. I have had a hard time finding white walls for a 17” wheel.

That part is easy, easy, easy - just get out your credit card and call Diamond Back Tires. Great folks to deal with.

Download and scroll through their catalog - but definitely either call them or send an email before making any purchase as they can help out with items that don't show in the catalog.

I used them for my Caddy build

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Are they the ones that can make custom tires? More than I want to spend on something that I will probably run into a curb. I probably need curb finders. Vary nice cady by the way

They don't make tires, they use other manufacture's tires then add the whitewall by vulcanizing them on.
