Shop Truck

[FrankBoss]

I'm in Norman, Oklahoma...
I really need to pull the trim, it has debris and rust next to it... and I'm doing a color change.
I grabbed some 265 75 15 for the back.
I'll get a few honey dos done and I'll get back on the truck

Well it time to start Painting.
Started with painting the Jams of the truck.
Blitz black,

The little piece between the grill and bumper

I broke most of the clips pulling the window trim off but they were very rusty.
Now back to sanding

I had these emblems on the truck covering the old emblem mess for over 13 years...they always in a weird spot and bothered me..so I moved them!

Well, like we say out at JN Wrecker, "make it work."

Grinding off crap paint today... I forgot how much sand paper and grinding disc this wipes out...junk primer gums up the grinding disc, had to switch from 80 to 36 because of this.
Spreading bondo and sanding that by hand sucked too but I am bout ready to paint the Hood.

I also Cut some Acrylic to make a model for my air cleaner, the filter is a K&N from a Thunderbird turbo coup. This weekend I hope to cast my Air Cleaner out of Aluminum...

I love those Ranger emblems. I have a set myself. I always run across 1st gen stuff. Let me know if u need stuff.

 

[PaleBlue90]

Primer on the Hood and other bare metal spots...I'm using John Deere Primer/Sealer since I don't have a shop to work in it should keep parts from rusting.

It doesn't show but the hood is dented even after some repairs it just crap so I will look for another one to louver.
The fenders hang to dry.

Today I stripped the old bumper but I think it needs replaced as well.

So This is my parts to replace list.
Doors with wing windows.
2 round motorcycle mirrors. Long story!
And a Couple painted front bumpers. "yes I need two!"
Bed(it will wait)
Rear end...8.8 with 3:73 or 4:10 open.

im interested seeing how the hood turns out i wanna do the louvers to my samurai

 

[FrankBoss]

Well I didn't get to fire up the foundry and make air cleaners this weekend but when its hotter than hell out side find some shade and start wet sanding!

I even rattle canned the bumper with some gloss black..

A coat of John Deere Blitz black for the Hood...a very beat up hood!

So I move the hood out in the sun to bake

So I had to put the parts some where for the night so heres the mock up of todays work.

Now 15 minutes after I uploaded this Pic it started to rain!!! Crap.
I lightly mopped the water beads up but it was to dark outside for me to see if it screwed up the paint... Fenders and Doors next.
