Well got more filler on it today. Primed it and found that there is more work on it in store for tomorrow. Also found out that my passenger side door panel was held on with sheet metal screws and wood screws. And alao found out I need a exterior door handle.

Finally satisfied with the work that's been done. After sanding, filling, priming, standing filling and priming. I'm finally done with the cab corner area. Also got the dent that was above the door handle out and got filler in it. Got it primed and I think it looks great. And on to pics

Slow today. Got a different sander out and started using it. Works the best so far. Sanded the lower part of my passenger door down and plan to fill in the dents tomorrow. I finally found bolts to put the fly wheel cover, or I think it might be called a flex plate cover dont really know, its what covers the flywheel and torque converter. Went to put it on and found that my truck has the wrong down pipe and its too close so the cover wont fit. While laying under the truck I found that the PO installed a fuel pump in front of the factory filter, and then there is another filter under the hood. So my truck has the in tank fuel pump then a filter then another pump and another filter. So now I have more work that needs to be done to make this truck right

What brand paint would y'all recommend for the rally wheels. And what type of prep. They will be black. And should I go with high gloss or semi gloss
