you should be banned! bog is the devil.

file finish where possible, and the tiniest skim of filler to smooth things out :)

whats file finish lol

just save up the extra $4k n buy one running sooooo much cheaper that way than this route..the spray job by a pro is gonna be very expensive, have a look at how much restoration work costs before u spend money...

yer i was just thinking the same thing lol but i not to worried i always wanted to resto a car

if you got time give it a chop yourself i say, thing i found is spare time is a big factor

When I get mt act together, I will put my pics of my ute up...(over 500) I will show u what bog can cover up... and the dramas it can have later on... :(

The key to a project like this is to keep moving forwards..... do one piece at a time. I Have been doing piece by piece on my ute. Literally sanding the small pieces from joint to joint with small overlap,t hen etch prime it, then go to ther side and do the same. You will be amazed at how fast u can get stuff done :)

good luck time is your friend

do it your self you'll appropriate it even better then, I built one years ago by hand and loved it till smash, then I bought one that had been done already and now am thinking I'm gonna strip it back and see what's been covered up
