Some serious 1st world problems you have on your hands

 

[Firemedic831]

Been chipping away at things. Dropped my diffs of to get powder coated and then can get those assembled . I did fire up the engine . So at least I know it runs .! Now I can put it all together. And just keep sanding and painting parts .

 

[Firemedic831]

I did fill the reflector holes in the aprons. I don’t like those . Working on the bib now

 

[Firemedic831]

What kind of set up are you using for your painting

 

[Firemedic831]

I have a couple HVLP guns nothing special. The spraying is the easy part. its the. sand prime sand prime part that takes forever. but thats ok .

 

[Firemedic831]

Here is one of the kick vents. This is the first time I have really painted a car . Well I did my Samurai but I used Raptor liner on it so that was different

 

[Firemedic831]

Certainly taking on a different look

The sand prime sand prime, is the key to a great job though.

So I got a piece bent to start on the front bumper. Started messing with it a little. Thinking about clipping the ends then boxing them in . Also last week I was down at another shop and seen a really cool idea . I would have to get a 8274 To do it.

 

[Firemedic831]

Thinking

 

[Firemedic831]

I think I will make a stinger the same angle as that on the winch Similar to the hood line also .

 

[Firemedic831]

It’s a start

 

[Firemedic831]

Just for fun
