Ceracoating

I got more done this weekend than I got done all last month. Still not as much as I’d like since the days are shorter, but it is what it is.

Epoxy primed and sprayed down first coat of 2K primer on the top side of the hood.

Primed and painted sliders

Cleaned the fuel fill compartment with this stuff that was recommended to me called Acryli-Clean, sanded the very good condition OEM paint with some 180 grit, primed, seam sealed, and painted (didn’t get finished pics)

Got somewhat of a start on running the wiring for the lights and rest of electrical needs under the hood so I can tape up the wiring and get it secured

Cleaned and sandblast prepped the new set of suspension u-bolts and slider u-bolts for Ceracoat, as well as the fuel fill neck. Looking forward to getting the fill neck and all the plumbing reinstalled for the long haul

That’s it for now

No way Brother!

Is your B-day 11-11?

Mine was Weds...
 
Apologies, sir!
Been back on it for a few weeks now, but the progress hasn’t really been show worthy.
But since there is demand, I will supply.

All chassis wiring in the front has been pulled and routed. The harness in the engine bay is taped. Headlights are connected. Connectors for running lights in the grill are wired.

Also installed the valve cover toppers.

In-cab wiring still needs routing and connecting.

Found some ball valves for the coolant. Pricey mofo’s, but I like them. Peterson Fluid Flow. Changeable handle indexing. Still waiting on some fittings to finish out the plumbing.
