the 55 gets a little epoxy


After a couple of days blocking and conjuring up the body work gods ,the top and back of the cab gladly receive a few coats of Kirker epoxy primer.Now it'll take a bunch of strokes with a long block to smooth it all out level and some more primer probably of the 2k variety.I'm sure we will run into a few more issues with the top along the way the drip rails will need to be seam sealed or we may even use POR-15 patch in a tube to insure no rust creep.Our next step will be installing the brake petal system and master cylinder on the frame and making the access through the floor to add brake fluid.Then if the doors are fitted well and all is primed we will remove the body to pretty up the bottom side and paint it before we finish the frame.
