Gutter mounts are done. Just need to clean them up a bit, prime, paint and then plastidip the gutter edges.

Also, ordered a large bench top sand blast cabinet. Will come in handy with the tear down of the 40s.. I'll get the roof rack back out tomorrow and reconfigure for 10 mounts and make the mounts for the curved light bar.

those look great. I might have to get back to my little roof rack project since these feet hug the body a whole lot better than the ones the tradesman rack comes with.

These put the rack approx. 1-1.25" above the roof.

The epoxy has cured out. Scuffed and ran first pass of MEK on him. Will wipe him down one more time and then a two day Monstaliner application. I'll tape the cut lie tomorrow and the red will go down. Pull the tape let it sit overnight, re-tape and then lay down the black.

Then get all the glass in and tinited.

What kind of finish are you going for? Rougher or smoother?

Smooth to a medium. I'm using both spray and roll application on this one. The other few I've done ended up really nice with just the roller. I'm doing jambs and inside doors as well.

[gregnash]

[The Phoenician]

White is pretty, but Red is downright sexy

 

[Major Nelson]

The white was growing on me, BUT I couldn't get past the pearl sheen of the primer..

Looking good dude. Can't wait to see it all done in ML.

Thanks Greg, it'll be a two day process.

Red isn't bad....

i can't wait to see how the ML comes out...bet its going to look sick

K, First coat is down and I'm really happy so far. I used a spray and roll technique to get these results. Not real happy with just the spray texture. I used one gallon for the first coat, door jambs included. SO!!! If this works right... I will have a gallon left to spray my trailer when I get it built...WOOHOO!!

[spressomon]

[TRAIL TAILOR]

Got all the tape and paper pulled, I'll gauge the ML in the morning and see if I will lay the black down or wait another day. Its been raining all day and the liner is a little slow drying.
