Hey guys,
Sigh - Finally after getting this thing 100% up and running, I had to go and try and move it from the garage into the basement.
Long story short, the weight shifted and she just came down.. hard... I shouldn't have been driving the hand truck, as I am a small guy.. but I was eager and the beer modivated me.
Pictures are attached... I really need some advice on how the F**K I should go about fixing this...
My first thought was to cut inside the T-Molding channel, to get rid of the debris and at least get it the same width again. Fill it up with some wood glue / gorilla glue so that they wont separate in the slightest amount of humidity.... Then I would have to source some new t-molding since the impact zone is smushed...
I assume I can take some bondo in order to smooth out the sides and fill in the "chips".. Can I just get the lil tube of pre-made stuff from the depot?
This cab has some sentimental value unfortunately, from a passed family member. I really don't want to strip the side etc.. but I want it to look "normal", pre the fall.. how do you guys suggest I match the old gray and nicotine covered white as well as the dull and faded black? I just need a little to fill where the bondo would be right?
What about sanding? What would be the best way to sand the compound without destroying any more of the side paint?
I really wanted to throw up last night after this happened.. so I just hope I can get it back into tip top.
Any help and suggestions are appreciated!
