Popular Post Willie dog Posted December 1, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted December 1, 2016 Getting ready to undercoat the tank body, wheel wells and everything underneath. Made an upside down tent to keep the splatter from going everywhere. It's all cleaned off , seam sealed and primed. I'm going to use Raptor bedliner. I've had good luck using it for undercoat on many other projects. It goes on nice and thick , has a nice black finish that's easy to touch up if necessary. I figured two kits should be enough. Then once the tires get here , it will be time to roll the almost completed frame back under the tank. I can't hang the front suspension until the frame is under the tank because I have to have the front of the frame almost touching the floor to get it to fit under the tank. I'm so excited! 13 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47853-next-step/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
41chevy Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Can you paint or get the bd liner in a Blue close to the Gulf Blue? I've seen few pick ups at the Dodge Dealer with colored Rhino Liner in the beds.

They also make a pre colored liner as well. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47853-next-step/#findComment-353662 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Willie dog Posted December 2, 2016 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks to all of you for your interest. Thanks also to my VERY understanding wife. She only fusses a little bit (?) when I come in the house dusty , greasy, and pockets full of blasting grit. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47853-next-step/#findComment-353710 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I come back in with my 2015 Mack with the automatic transmission, the push button everything,all the plastic, and the 150 sensors that will shut me down on the side of the road if one of them suspects something is wrong, I can climb into my B Model and drive it 5 or 10 miles down the road and all is right with the world again. My wife doesn't claim to understand it, but she justified a foolish expenditure that we had no business making to make me happy. I'm not about to mess with that setup or take it for granted. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47853-next-step/#findComment-353868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
