Getting underbody sandblasted and powder coated?
#26
Yep, it's the widebody. And I wonder why it took me 8+ months full time to do it, got carried away, a bit. lol
I never counted, but I have 2-300 pics of the process.
Notice anything about the rear fenders in the sand blasting pic?
For you guys doing rust repair in the rear wheel wells, look closely at the seam sealer in the pic. The oval shaped sealer seals a patch panel from the factory. This is where the moisture gets in and starts the rust. The patch was never sealed from the factory. There are also a couple of holes punched in the patch that let moisture in. The long seam sealer in the wheel arch is where the main panels join and there can be a good bit of depth in the groove where the two meet. This needs to be dug out, blasted and/or treated, then recaulked after the prime coat. I did it after the epoxy coat because it was getting the bed liner coating.
