Seam sealer is almost like artwork. It takes a lot of practice to get it to look factory. I bought a pneumatic seam sealer gun for doing late model cars and with a descent amount of practice and the right tip you can get really nice results. It’s a pain in the ***, one of my least favorite parts of doing cars. I’m guessing you would agree, it can be frustrating
 
Epoxy going down.

They put tractor paint on the radiator support and ashtray. Tried blasting the ashtray and ended up blowing holes through it. Bought a new ashtray. Radiator support was blasted, but the residual is going to take wire wheels to get off. Why?

Still sanding away. Using a mix of evercoat rage extra, and evercoat rage ultra. Using evercoat slick sand in tight spaces. Man that **** ain’t cheap. $100/gallon for rage, $250/gallon for slick sand.

You're putting more effort into the underside than most folks put into the top side! Really looking forward to seeing this come together if this is the level of attention to detail you're going for.

It is the level of detail I’m going for. The underside is getting painted burnt orange. All suspension pieces upgraded and powder coated. Stainless steel fuel lines and brake lines. The underneath is going to look as nice as the top. And no it won’t be a trailer queen. All rough areas underneath were smoothed out and a lot of areas were boxed in, to make it easy to wipe down the underside on the lift when necessary. All dirt and gravel traps were smoothed out or eliminated.

be thankful you are involved in the process and you're accounting for a good portion of the labor cost. It's getting done to your satisfaction and I'll bet you will enjoy it much more when it's completed than if you just dropped it off and wrote an even bigger check for it

Yes exactly. I pay for all the parts and labor as they are accumulated. So I know everything that is going on. I get daily updates with pictures.
