    Depends. Use a sand-able epoxy primer (SPI or Kirker) then scuff it with 180 grit. You want to get that bare metal coated before rust can start. After your bondo you will ideally want 2K - epoxy primer with a catalyst or hardener. That's how show cars are done. Ospho -phosphoric acid- is also...

    Not sure what you mean by outline type, but I can vectorize or process whatever you need. Best bet is to vectorize and make heat transfers for the quantity you are after. 200 transfers single color 9x13 for 100 cotton%, 100% poly or any poly/cotton blend w/ a 7 sec heat press @325 degree, hot...

    Awesome ! I'm rooting for some warmer weather for you. Plasma cutter: They are great, but leave a hardened ragged edge that is a bit tough to grind. You may wish to use 4" die angle grinder cutoff wheel or even a metal cutting blade in a skillsaw that has a metal shield, not plastic, for...

    Just Do it. I admire your moxy. Working in the snow with no forktruck- that's some challenge. I bet the sound of that cargo bed being dragged-off was unforgettable. I'm rooting for you because I will probably try something similar. Please post lots of pictures and keep us in the loop on...

    I was Stuck in the mud

    Wow- that looks like some sticky muck. Glad you got out of that mess. Once you are that deep, the undercarriage is just a plow. Try to use 2 tow points- one from each side of frame. Bet you slept real good after all that. Thanks for the pics.

    Take your time, try not to get frustrated, and definitely take it easy doing the F-R rocking trick. It's much easier to get the truck out if it isn't broken. I 2nd the lower tire air pressure fix. Be safe.
