So I decided to go all in with my rusty 2002 Quigley e-350. Not a financially brilliant move but nobody ever accused me of being the sharpest tool in the shed.
The plan thus far is to power wash clean and then paint the underside with por15, classis saver or other similar product. We will also be cutting off the bottom foot or so of the body and rebuilding it.
Since everything will get rebuilt anyway I'll get the chance to do a bunch of custom rocker panel work and hopefully make the old goat better than new. Here is the list of current ideas:
1. Build in custom rock crusher type panels with one off lines.
2. Recess all exposed plugs.
3. Fabricate a custom burley recessed propane door.
4. Cut and open up fenders to fit bigger tires without adding more lift.
5. Linex the whole damn thing so I can happily bash into trees like i do right now.
I would love other thoughts and ideas since this will be a pretty big job and I want to try and not miss anything.
This is the shop I'll be working with.

Oh maybe a move bumper since you'll have Rtech doing some welding might as well add a bumper to give more clearance to trimmed out fenders. Good luck with the project!
