Wow, I don't even know how to pickup on this thread where I left off. I've done so much work on this thing... I have all of the panels prepped for paint, blocked in primer. I built the new bed and am about to finish priming it now. The tailgate was a banana with 50 years worth of dents. I made a straightening jig and spent way too many hours on it but trying to preserve a 2 year only gate that was never reproduced comes with a price. Anyway, here are some pix

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

So VZ,
was the tape flanking the seams used to keep it in a track, with the upshot of a clean line when removed?
Did you flatten the bead to tape level? Very clever method!

I'm not a fan of seam sealer bathtub caulking jobs or extreme brush outs so masking the area allows for a nice way to reduce the spread out when you peel the tape. Everything was buried in high build primer and blocked. I spent way too many hours inside that bed and I wasn't sleeping.
