El camino rear widebody& raised rear quarters

Is the foam you used waterproof too? I know a guy that used an open cell urethane foam (a lot) on a DD and couldn’t figure out why the *ss was dragging so bad after a year. Ended up having to undo all the custom work he did to get it all out.

I wouldn't call any waterproof, But is water resistant, Use at work for sealing door frames & windows in houses & seal over outside. Does have urethane sealant between it & metal, & is not a complete fill, Does not block venting or drain holes.
Back to welding & grinding this morning.

Pics with wheel set out 3" .Planning on billet hub centric spacers later till I can afford wheels. I don't think the widening looks as drastic with black primer,as intended.

Looking forward to when you can fill those wheel wells with big meats

Got main outer weld seams ground down last night & a little fibertech filler applied.
Block party continued on tonight & more filler to sand tomorrow.

More block & sand tues night.
Wed night prepped surfaces & attached rear visor with panel bond & covered a few welds with it. Will be adding spline to roof to match hood & bedcover profile.

Fabricated my roof spline from a stainless steel sliding glass door v-track cover & bonded to roof. Used weight for clamps.

If your posting this at 3 AM, you sure are burning the midnight oil. Good idea for the ridge.

Yea, long hours at work. Got home a little after 9:00 fri, decided to eat & take the rest of the day off.
Bought the bedcover in to work since I gotta work on impatient customer's door Saturday. Will work on my own stuff between staining & clearcoating mahogany entrance door.

Did a little cleanup sanding before going to work sunday. I have a little of this fibertech fiberglass based filler that still hasn't gotten fully hard I need to finish removing. Forgot both my 6" sanders at work & the pad came apart on my 5" sander, so gave up on it for now. Got a look at things in daylight.

I think every overly wierd *ss, but bad *ss, black custom sheet metal hot rod needs a spline on the roof.
