Finished basic bumping and filler work through September. Got epoxy primer sprayed yesterday.
epoxy primer

had a little issue with bleed thru that I haven't experienced before...hope all is well and I plan to go forward as quick and dirty has always been the name of the game for this truck - guess time will tell...

bleed thru on the roof

bleed thru on the fender

Bought a new rear tailgate and front bed panel.

Also ordered up a front disc brake kit from CPP that uses existing 6 lug wheels, tacoma discs, fresh hoses, and came with free roller bearings - $425 shipped for the whole setup sounded as cheap as revamping my existing antiquated drum brakes.

still aiming to get topcoat before it gets too cold this fall...
