Builds New 80 In Virginia (2 Viewers)

Stopped by for a look… it’s absolutely stunning and they haven’t even wet sanded and buffed it. The lead painter has taken my truck under his wing. Working in a large production shop he rarely gets to work on projects like this so he’s vested into making sure it’s flawless. He even feathered in the lower gravel guard.

Wet sanding and buffing the main body. The hood and upper tailgate will be painted off the body. Added extra stitching to a the door cards

Did you change the door plastic from grey to black?

Did you change the door plastic from grey to black?

No, the dark brown is the stock color I added the caramel color to match the front and rear seats. It was tan

 

[White Sheep]

Looks great

 

[OffRoadScott]

Love the seats and door cards look amazing!

They have a dedicated lift just for undercarriage treatment.... I did not expect them to sand blast the axles clean. I was expecting wire wheel and scraping the
scale. They'll almost look new when it's finished and I'm sure my bill will reflect the blasting but I'm ok with that. I wish I had the funds for a frame off.

How is the IPOR undercoating holding up?

How is the IPOR undercoating holding up?

IPORS process is exactly what you’d expect from a first rate LC shop. The product was Eastwood… rust encapsulator chassis, paint, internal frame coating. I haven’t closely inspected it, but based on what I’ve seen, the product is outstanding, and in my case, they even sandblasted my differentials and axles.I’m dropping off my LX470 for the same treatment

This should be interesting

This is pride in one’s work.

Looking like glass

 

[Luke111]

It’s almost finished… Matte paint around the cargo windows and door frames

 

[Luke111]

Paint work is finished, putting it back together then it ships to IPOR for bumpers and interior

Looks great Lou!

 

[FMC80]

Yes, it does. Looks absolutely stunning.

 

[Luke111]

It’s just about a wrap. Needs a good scrubbing and a final polishing.

 

[Luke111]

Next stop IPOR, for final assembly

 

[ceylonfj40nut]

Looks great!!! Looks too good to drive and pin stripe on trails.

 

[Luke111]

Finally got to see it in person. The black is so deep and rich. Spent the day at IPOR finalizing details going through a list of things needed to get this done.
