Biscuit's Bobcat Body Makeover

In January of 2007 I traded some cherokee axles for a Bobcat fiberglass body.  It was a bit hacked up, but after many hours I revived it. Here's an accounting of some of the work.

The body before any work was done:

Body after some trimming:

Time to sand and patch. I've circled the major holes that needed patching:

After Patching:

Before Stripes:

Note stripes in their forms on the table:

Stripe applied and then painted:

Body with primer and black floor liner:
