So I decided to paint the rockers before I install my sliders.....
I am tired of looking at the clear coat peel on the drivers side! It was down to primer and I did not want it to rust.
Oh, and it is set to 72 deg in the shop

Well, it will go down to 60, but did not want to freeze! And need temp for paint to cure. Just laid down some primer and then going for base coat.

Looking good!! Pretty sure my shop is at 95rn but the breeze is helping right.....3 of 4 caps installed and moving along. Going to have to make a couple more patches up where I found some holes but shouldn't be too bad. Hoping to finish up in about a week
Any HPTuners wizards in the club or club-adjacent? I think i have some transmission computer issues.

Charles, a little tip, Store your face shield with the face up so it does not get scratched. it will last a lot longer. Took me years to figure that out.

Just giving you input for when you build yours!Rub it in why dont you!
Scratch that -- at least for now.
It's always the most obvious thing I miss.
Truck would not drive bc the transfer case was in the neutral position. Put it in gear and voila engine powers wheels!
The guy @ the Horsepen Hendrick's said that I definitely should send it to their Moseley shop where the real pro is... looks like that's where it's headed next.

Laying clear down. I think one more coat should do it.

That’s looking really good. Makes me want to paint mine a little more.

Still laying down paint. I had to get the bumper wing done before putting the flare back on.

Next up is to finish working the fender and paint the left side of Lynchburg Lemonade from the flop last year and some trail scares.
Thats just character and shows the truck has done some cool s***. I think you should leave it (other than stopping any rust)

Finally found time to bend the Orion twin sticks. Used some 3/8” tubing to mock up the bends I wanted. Took the twin sticks off the transfer case and bent them at work. Got the transmission cover back on and all buttoned up. Added a little white paint to the knobs so I don’t forget which way is what.
