	Looks great Randy. You have proven, beyond a doubt, that it was not "too rusty to save" after all. Outstanding work.

	Randy, May I ask you a favor? Can you write a wrap up in the FAQ Body and trim section of the forum about all what you learn while working on your tub? Something basic like a do and don't list, needed tools list....

	I will give it a try...it may not happen right away! My first advice? Do buy a jeep.. Don't buy a rusty one!

	Randy, I reviewed your build again, I was looking for specifics on your priming. Did you use a rattle can? And either way what brand did you use? Thanks Kirk

	Kirk, I used that aerosol two-part epoxy primer that Eastwood sells first on the bare metal.. Expensive and I'm not sure if it was worth it... But, It's held up so far. After the all-metal filler I used U-Pol High #5 high build primer on the exterior surfaces.. Also expensive... On the floors inside I used Dupli-color primer and brushed it on with a foam brush if I remember right...it covered real well and also has held up well.. And when I took it to the painter I think he gave it another dose of primer/sealer.... If you have a place to spray, even if it's in the driveway, you might do better with a spray gun from Harbor Freight and some high-fill two part primer....especially if you are doing just the parts like the fenders etc...the tub might require a pretty good capacity compressor but you could easily do the primer in sections... I bought a full-face 3-M respirator..those two part paints/primers are very toxic..

	I would like to thank you for saving an old crusty tub, and showing people what can be completed. Even if you started out as a nob, with little sheet metal experience. Great job!! toolman_ar

I had no sheet metal, welding. or painting experience....now I have a little...maybe enough to approach things differently next time!

	Not really intending to revive this old thread, but there is a possibility that Photobucket will stop hosting the photos that I posted.... I still have the originals on my computer though...

	Looks like most are still working for you. Mine are all gone on every post and thread. Pretty disappointed about it. I'm not sure it's worth recreating with non Photobucket links. As you know, that would be a lot of work.
