update on front clip paint . buddy finaly has time to finish it here in the next few weeks . then its all me to assemble / wire / fill fluids / exhaust / full system recheck / then fire.

but this will all hopefully happen at new shop/house we are buying here shortly .

I read the link and thought I hope he doesn't do a tilt front clip...

Glad to see this is going to be finished up soon.

 

[sweetk30]

if I did a tilt front clip it would be on STUBBY crew cab with a c-40-up big truck nose swap .

 

[sweetk30]

got the call today . . . my new cover is in .

went and picked it up . going to be a little bit before I get to assemble and install it yet. with house/shop purchase to sign on 24th this month and the big move I got a lot going on .

[sweetk30]

Very nice!!!

 

[Deuling]

Looks pretty. Especially for the environment lol.

 

[max 02]

In the dirt!? Looks great from here though!

I was wondering about this build the other day. Glad to see it's still moving along.

 

[76zimmer]

is it base/clear?

 

[sweetk30]

not dirt . #1 pee gravel few inch thick . then wet down real good . crack door in back with fan pulling air out . then fresh air comes in threw gravel . its a cheep mans filter paint booth . works real good . seen a few jobs he done this way . and it was just the front clip .

---------------------------

still going to finish it for sure . just the major life / job hiccup slowed it for a bit . but now the shop @ home is up and going its all hands on deck !!!

--------------------------

industrial single stage and its catalyzed also for hardener . this stuff I have seen it hold up good on lots of stuff. its a solid color no flake or metallic . so lots of life in the paint for buff jobs . and goes on nice and thick also so fills a little if there is a spot or 2 you might have missed a sand mark .

-------------------------------

just got to finish the wire install and inside stuff. then exhaust install. once all bugs worked out and happy she will get the white stripe .
