FuzzFace2 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Nice! Thanks guys The plan tomorrow is to get it outside to free up the bay so I can get paint on the bumpers. During the week I want to get more paint for the bed this way I have it on hand when I have the time. When I do start on it, it will have to be quick as the wife's car has to be put out of the house garage so the truck can go in because of no glass.

FuzzFace2 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Very nice! I am happy I painted the truck yesterday as it was HH&H when I walked out the door at 7am even the little work I did I was soaking wet from sweat Pulled the rest of the masking paper & plastic off the truck, installed the rear wheels to get it ready to move out of garage for better pictures. Before doing so I wet sanded the front & rear bumpers in prep for paint. Once the truck was moved out I painted & cleared the bumpers using premixed bright silver paint & clear from Duplicolor. Did not lay down as I liked but in cleaning the spray gun I found some old red paint flakes came out so that may be why? The bumpers were still to wet to install when I called it a day because of the heat & humidity, may go out later but being I have to work tomorrow I may just take it easy? I need to pull out all the duplicate parts I have and pick the best ones, repair& clean as needed before I install them. Need to pick up some spray bombs to paint behind the grill and maybe the grille & head light door. Want to get paint stripper to remove the black paint from the wheels then can see what is needed to make them look good to match the body. Also need a rubber gasket kit for the body before I can put the doors back together and some small things from LMC or Dennis Carpenter like door handle gaskets, fuel door bumpers, battery hold down, etc. Wife is going to kill me when the bills come in.

FuzzFace2 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I LOVE IT!!!! Well done, Dave! You are going to have that thing together, soon. Thanks even the wife said she liked it I really pushed to get it this far over the weekend and I am happy I did and the way it turned out. The next step is to get paint on the bed so I need to pick up paint for it so it is on hand. As for together soon ...... don't think so., but will keep plugging away at it. I need weather strip kit to put the doors together as I have nothing for the glass, it was all at the bottom of the doors! Need the door handle gaskets too, all nickel & dime stuff but it adds up fast! I will go thru my parts and get the best ones to fix / clean / paint before they go back on. I may do this before next weekend as we are to get part of that hurricane and don't think I will have work. I just need to move the truck to the house garage, wife should like that as her car has to go out, so I can lay parts out on the floor.
