Bodywork Pt 2

This weekend we found some time to add more primer to spots we'd already sanded down.

We also revisited the failed Bondo job on the holes near the exterior wheel wells. 

Bondo is super interesting stuff.

Its this clay looking slime, mixed with a red looking slime.

It starts harding into a bonding hardened surface that allows for sanding.

Once sanded, it becomes nice and smooth.

HOLES GONE!

Then it called for some primer as well.

Tomorrow we plan to add another coat of primer.

Our next step is to address the rust holes on the interior.

We have a few options;

1. Spend lots of time and effort fitting sheet metal to the floor bed.

Sandwich the holes between fitted metal with heavy duty adhesive and drilled screws.

2. Inquire about the cost of having a professional do a welding repair.

3. Buy floor bed sheet metal already shaped, and weld at my dad's shop at work.

Remember, towards the finish of the van, I will release a copy of the total expenses.

In case you're thinking about trying out this project, too.

You'll have some idea of how you can budget and make your van dreams come true.

Stay posted on what happens next as we continue to fulfill our 

SUPER AWESOME VAN PLAN.
