I used to think fiberglass was a bad way to deal with those holes from rust...

Granted its not the best way...but I just want the truck to look good....Its future is a full time mud buggy.



No progress made today:(.....but I figured I'd add a future mod teaser pic:naughty:.:tmc:..

I know where you can find a set of 30x9.5" tires that would look PERFECT under there... In a few months...

If you ever get around to bringing me to that GM junk yard of yours! :lol:

SAS and 35's is NOT stock class :lol:

Gonna be a fun little toy when she's all done!
If you're going to run 35s, you're going to want 4.10s at a minimum, preferably 4.56s...

Not the best but still not the worst. But what matters is that fiberglass when correctly laminated lasts long and is a cost-effective solution.

After:

Of course removing the pads showed this:

Driverside(partially sanded):

Tape started falling off( humidity and heat changes) so I decided to spray the rock guard on what I could before I had to remask:
