A not so crusty Crusty!

I know it’s only temporary, two washes maybe three.  But it did spur me to start looking for some patch panels and a replacement box.

Wow, that might be the cleanest F-150 of that vintage I’ve ever seen.

So is the whole lower silver section tape?

I saw a Jeep Liberty with Camo Duct tape rocker panels once.

Close.. the lower front fender, cab corner and lower rear quarter panel. And a good portion of the rear wheel arch.

She’s a good 30 footer. The previous owner actually “restored” it at one point. Unfortunately it got rear ended pretty hard and about 17 pounds of filler literally popped off.

When I was a kid, my mom hit some ice and slid my truck into a pole. It crunched the bed right behind the cab on the driver’s side. A nice fellow with a dent puller managed to yank most of the damage out, but left a few holes. We didn’t have the cash to finish the repairs and I had no guidance whatsoever, so I did the only thing my teenage mind could come up with. I grabbed a roll of electrical tape and a can of matching paint. The tape did a grand job of covering the holes and the paint did a surprisingly good job of hiding the tape. It was good enough to fool most people at 20 feet, and it lasted for years.
