Gathered up all the stuff I needed...

Plastic Weld
Lexan Scissors
Xacto Knife
Body Filler





Now it was time time fix these fenders.



First thing I did was get some thin, flexible styrene sheet to attach to the back to keep the contour of the fender and to close in the hood





I then cut two pieces to fill in the top part and used the PlasticWeld to adhere it.



Time to dry.

I then started on the back where the sleeper cab was attached.

First thing I needed to do was clean up the edges and cut a piece to fit it there as good as possible.

Using tabs to hold the panel, I glued it in place...

Then needed to add the rear window.



The King Hauler has a Panel on the roof that I do not like. Looks like a sun roof that never was.

So I glued it in place and covered all the mounting holes so I don't fill them with putty.

It was now time for filling in the gaps and lines.

For the fenders, I needed to make sure that I added a little more than needed so I can sand the curve of the fender.



Next was the roof. You can see why I used tape to cover the accessory mounting holes...I would have had to clean everyone out.



The back is going to be the hardest. I am thinking I will be doing two coats on it.



It is now in the paint booth drying...this putty stinks... :confused0068:

Shot the body with some primer to I can see the parts that need another coat...



Here's the roof after a sanding





Fenders are not bad...well the right wasn't...left needs some help





Put a thin skim on and should be all I will need...I hope

I'm getting really excited for this one and the way it is turning out...

I shot it with primer again to look for imperfections...



Started with 220 grit paper





Went down to 600 grit and then used a tack cloth to remove all the dust

Laid down some primer and it's looking good...









Will let it go and then hit the whole body with 1000 grit then the final coat of FINE Primer...
