I thought I would share a little progress on this paint project. I originally started out to do this myself and quickly realized if I wanted it to look nice that probably wasn't the best plan so I left it to a friend that has a body shop. He has been working on it when has time between real customers. My 40 has been flat green since I bought it off mud out of Utah in 2008. I've always dreamed of it being dune beige (416) so now is the time and also time to properly fix some rust.
This is the 40 in my sig line if you are interested in deeper details.
I removed the top and all doors right after purchase, no immediate plan right now for restoration on those bits but maybe some day. I do have a soft top that I used for one weekend.
This is the "before" of how it has looked for 10 years after I did the roll cage, lockers, bumpers, winch, wheels/tires and other tid bits.
After I gutted the inside.
A little straightening of the flat parts
