Budget Home Grown Repairs Completed

[Frogeye]

Well, I finally got around to completing my bodywork on both of my rear quarter panels. I bungered up the driver side quarter panel running a very fun trail in Southern California called Cleghorn.



Then, about a year later I bungered up the passenger side rear quarter panel running a very cool trail out in Jacumba, CA called Buttercup.



So, since I wheel my truck and I'm likely to bungerup something again, I opted to do the repairs myself since I have some bodywork experience. Armed with my trusty Harbor Freight repair kit, some Bondo UV activated Bondo, some Dupli-Color ultimate silver, and sand paper, I went to work. :bangin:



















I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Wow, nice work, Frogeye !!!

Did you spray the paint, too ?

[BlueFJ]

Nice! When you say you have some experience, did you work for a body shop or something?

[Frogeye]

I used dupli color rattle can. I still need to wet sand and buff it out. I didn't do a perfect job because I expect that I most likely will bang it up again. I learned how to do body work while restoring my Austin Healey.

That looks great. Being able to do this sure takes some of the agony out of the inevitable dings and dents that the trail serves up.
