One bumper from the vehicle needs some welds cut off and one from the salvage yard needs some straightening from a local machine shop. Both will be powder coated a light grey.
With the floor pans out, the bushing between the floor pan and frame wing was rusted and needed to be cut off. I ordered a body bushing kit from ihpartsamerica.com, with 9 pieces. I'll coat the frame with rust treatment first.
Filler I used a gallon of Evercoat Rage Ultra from a painters suggestion. It sands easier. And with great expenditure of sand paper all the obvious low spots were filled. I started with 40 in a random orbital (electric DA equivalent) and moved to 80 grit on a larger board. Then 120 grit on a large board. Primer High build primer. I used 3 coats Evercoat Optex Super Build 4:1, which sprays on pink and sands grey. So its essentially urethane primer, filler and guide coat in on. Started sanding with 220 grit on a large block, this created a ton of dust. Then I moved to 320 on a large block, which really cleaned up the entire thing. Trailer It looked pretty good but there were several areas I wished I filled/sanded that showed up in the sun on the trailer.
