Started on the roof.


Pretty cool to find the factory part number sticker behind the gasket.

 

[D'Animal]

As expected, holes do not line up.

 

[D'Animal]

Coming together.

Looks good Dan. You coming to Reno again anytime soon?

What happened to Stihl Orange? I only see it on the hood release.

 

[scarydriver]

That is turning out incredible!

 

[RockDoc]

Can't wait to see the full truck all painted up.

 

[D'Animal]

I will be there Thursday night and most of the day Friday.

It will be used on accent pieces.

I did not want it to look like a big bright Pumpkin. STIHL Orange is a pretty bright Orange.

The doors made a huge leap towards pulling off the fj45 'look', that roof is going seal the deal. Looks great Dan!

I feel the same.

Can't wait to see the full truck all painted up.

Rushing the paint between coats is how I ended up getting the wrinkle finish. It is high 30's over night and mid 50's and raining during the day. After I let it sit overnight, the paint is still tacky.

I follow this thread for quite a while now and it keeps getting more and more to a point where i cant wait to see it finished, its a bit like a upside down strip-show.

I hope you will take some live camera action with sound for u-tube or similar to share enjoyment when these beast is done.

No Guts, no glory.

I ended up with some wrinkle in my paint job too from pushing it while I was back in Manitoba at Thanksgiving. Time and temperature weren't ideal, but I wanted a full coat of paint on it before winter.

 

[D'Animal]

It has been done.

Anybody want to embed this in the thread?
