Did some block sanding, minor dent repair and filler work, then shot some 2k build primer.

The owner decided he didn't want any decals or emblems other than the Ram's Head on the front of the hood. So I filled in the holes at the front fenders where the Magnum V8 emblems were.

I guided coated and block sanded with 150 grit, then shot some more 2k build primer.

Guide coated and spent the afternoon wet sanding with 600 grit. Tomorrow I will wash everything down real good. replace some of the masking tape and get it ready for painting.

The roof actually took the most work to get straight. Other than that a couple of very small dents, probably from people parked nearby and hitting it when they opened the doors.

The bed will take a bit more work since it was hit in one spot.

My goal is to get the truck done, move it outside to sit in the sun and then work on the bed.

Looks really good... you going to do much of a cut/buff to it? Looks like your clear laid down pretty level right off the gun...

I have one small run and a couple of specks of dirt to deal with but that's all and I'm not sure I will even worry about the dirt specks.

Owner wanted a black grille.
I repainted the front bumper and installed both today.

Still waiting for the Fog lights since the ones they sent me were defective (made in China) and had to be returned.

Got the lower bumper cover painted and the new custom headlights and taillights are here but need to install the fog lights before the headlights can go in.

Installed new LED third brake/cargo light as well.
