Old Dodge Dakota - The flip side

140 hours over five months. 2002.

Customer, who has sheet metal forming skills and is strong as a ox helped. New front fenders. Pre-formed rear wheel well sheet metal laid in. He got into the rockers deep.

Complete repaint with some special matte clear the jobber said they mix for motorcycles. Three times as much $$ as the base coat.

Gravitex along bottom foot or so oversprayed with SEM trim black to match all the nose and flare plastic painted with same.

Probably one bucket of that green hairy fiberglass bondo on rockers and another gallon of regular bondo on rear fenders to smooth out wheel well repair. Guessing a quart of each remain on truck.

$87 + shipping hood scoops deliver 30 hp (net).

Not bad looking for an old Ohio redneck truck.
