Progress on Paint

Feels like light at the end of the tunnel. Had help from babywag on patches for front fenders. Kept body shop going thanks to him. Seam sealing on body, approval of paint samples, and off to paint... Doors, fenders, hood, and tailgate are off to paint soon after.

Thanks rang! I went with a matte finish and will be doing matte black accents. Hopefully I will be putting it on the chassis here soon. Need to get out of this hell hole and home to North Idaho!!!

More painted parts

Doors, tailgate, hood, front body and other parts now painted. Also had two access panels made for the fuel pump and fuel sending unit. Floor board has been sprayed with Lizard Skin. Underside will be sprayed this afternoon or tomorrow. Missed a couple of holes in the tailgate that didn't get welded. Oh well. Can't win it all and just excited to get it out of the body shop.

E-Brake Brackets

Moved brackets back as they were too short after disc brake conversion. Lift kit and rotating the calipers back for clearance at leaf spring increased distance. Using extended rear cables did not make up the difference. Not sure if this was necessary but I did not see another way.

Pretty excited. Can't wait to see the body on the chassis. Then I finally get to start putting parts purchased and sitting very impatiently on.
