Re: need a close up photo of a 39 120 running board

Finally got the right hand board were I'm ok with it. It's not perfect or show quality, but it looks much better than painted bondo! I ended up using POR 15 Epoxy Putty. A bit easier to use than the QuikSteel and I have plenty left over to do the other board as well as the steering wheel. The Dip-it stuff goes on looking like Rhino Deck, very rough, but smooths out to a thin smooth coat that shows most of the defects that I couldn't get out. Having said that, it looks great from about five feet away, and should I ever win the lottery, it comes off with a chemical stripper without harming the old boards. It took two cans of spray Dip-it and one tube of POR 15. About $12 for the spray and $33 for the large box of epoxy.

You can see the old rubber and the nasty bondo in one of the before photos.
The after shots show the board and the repair materials.
