Only use marine grade epoxy resin!

Build it up in layers and along with using the resin in around 70 degree temps for best results!

Sorry for the dirt and salt/brine that plague my truck already this year. I only did a little sanding as this is a truck built for work! not show and tell.

I just went to oriellys and got the resin and fiber glass lol the omni direction type since that was the best for my situation.. I used a lot of layers in the area's where it mattered the most. I'm going to sand it and cut of the ruff edges tomorrow to make it look a little better. i screwed in some home depot metal plates on the sides since they were both tore the hell up.

also someone put in a 2x6 or 2x4 inside of the good and used some kind of bolts lol....


yours look a hole lot better then my sloop job LOL!. im hoping its not going to crack apart like damn cracker... hopefully i have enough and not to much.
