Back to the "Green Machine".. I already changed my mind from the original blue I was going with, to a darker blue. I have since changed my mind again to "Eruption Green Pearlcoat" it is a Ford color. Growing up this thing was always called the "Green Machine". I have decided that I didn't want to lose that piece of nostalgia I guess.
I have finished repairing the sheet metal on the floor. (Little holes that were left over after removing the OEM exhaust heat shield.) Apparently I didn't get pictures of me welding those up.. 2 were relatively small, I had a helper hold a piece of copper on the under side while I welded them shut, and ground them down to look pretty. 1 of them was a bit larger, and required a patch.
I recleaned the interior and sanded some spots I had missed, after I had my window guy remove my quarter glass. Mixed up and shot the primer.

After the Primer set up for about an hour, I re-applied all the seam sealer I removed during sanding.

After the seam sealer set up for about 30 mins. (Per the instructions on the tube, I used 3M Urethane seam sealer, was about $22/tube on Amazon, I used about 5 tubes.) I shot 2 more coats of the primer with 1hr flash times in between coats. (Per instructions on the data sheet, I used Raptor 2k epoxy primer.) I also replaced the sheet metal plugs that are missing in these pics. I used some plastic/nylon plugs I found on amazon, with a bit of the seam sealer on them to make sure they were water tight. They will also be resprayed with more Raptor liner on the bottom side.. (More on that in a bit.)

I am going to have about 3" of the interior edges painted along with the exterior of the truck. Most likely it will never be seen, but I dont want to see any gray if the truck is Green lol.
I have 3/4" dynamat extreme in the rafters, not sure what order I am going to do it in yet, but the interior will be covered in dynamat before I reinstall the carpet. I am looking into a spray sound deadener for inside of the doors, as I don't want any issues with water running through the doors. Obviously, I will leave the drains open and probably about 2" above the drains undisturbed. I don't want any mildew or absorbtion of water going on and am not sure if the dynamat I have is waterproof. Once I get it out of the rafters I will do some research on it.
