Gsmblue Posted May 19, 2022 Author Share Posted May 19, 2022 Maybe. I will check when I have a few miles on the current configuration. I think i need to back the springs down a notch. Getting very rich on that initial push on the accelerator.. The soft top has shipped! Looking forward to putting that on, will give the puppy some shade in the summer but keep the side and back open.

I think that's gonna be cool - in both senses of the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks great! But those wheels look good. So what's the plan, Stan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks great! Do you have A/C? I’m asking because I’m curious as to why you’re using it to be cooler. I’m curious because I think my Bronco is the hottest vehicle I have owned. But mine is silver and black. And the top is black. Also thought about getting a Softopper for my GMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have AC and it works well. With the top off on very hot days the AC doesn’t do much for the passengers, but the shade will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 I see. Never had my top off. That looks good! I have been working on some minor rust. There was a hole on the drivers side rear. I can’t weld so I have to bondo… I got all the lose rust off. Applied rust converter and applied glass fiber stranded bondo. Then I sanded, another layer, sanded. Glazing putty, sanded. The paint was all cracked so i thought i would clean it up. And scope creep set in. I got through a red scouring pad with my grinder… Looks like the next steps are to remove the trim. Remove all that gunky paint. Take it down to metal and hit it with sealer, paint and clear… Oh boy… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gsmblue Posted May 24, 2022 Author Share Posted May 24, 2022 That is scope CREEP!!!!! Isn’t it! This is the worst panel. I am gonna knock it all down and rattle can it. It will look so much better, even if it is not a perfect color match. The rest of the rust treatment was minor front wheel arch stuff. I will probably strip the paint below the trim all around and paint. The trim is kind of beat up and i see it is available through LMC. I have fender flares to put on too so most of this work will be invisible, but I know the rust is dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
