Body Work Begins at DJ Customs

My newly acquired cab has been lounging in the back of my garage while I focus on getting the engine and tranny in place. Rather than wait to finish, I contacted Jason at DJ Customs in Cedar Park to start on the body work. Jason has years of experience doing custom paint and body along with bagged suspensions.

With the help of my brother Roger, the cab was trailered to DJ Customs. The plan was to have the cab soda blasted to remove any rust, dirt and paint. Jason would then begin the repairs. The inside cab floor and outside bottom would be sprayed with POR15. The rest of the interior with expoxy primer. The outside cab would have all dents removed then get sprayed with expoxy primer.

Here are pics midway thru the work

Truck looks great. Are you keeping it stock or shaving everything.

Shaving side indicators, gas cap and smoothing tail gate. Roll pans front and back.
