Looks really good. I also liked it before paint though.

To refine my question, what paint did you use. Color, manufacturer, series of paint, etc,etc?

I did that just for you.
I actually had more typed out and decided to erase it for extra effect.

How much paint did you use? Going back through the pics I don't see any doors, did you paint any?
I haven't decided if I'll paint my OE doors, that plus maybe / maybe not using a tailgate I'm wondering if I might be better off buying a couple of quarts instead of a gallon.

Half gal. I didn’t paint hood or doors. My hood doesn’t fit on the my current radiator. My doors were not worth painting. It fit in my k20 which was originally a diesel so I don’t really know. No hood or doors for now.
Cage back in. What a pain in the dick.
Looking great .
Cage finally all welded. Need to do braces to frame, relocate battery to rear, and shifter mount. I may even modify the rad mounts and actually get a hood on this thing.
Shifter mounting figured out. Wish I had 11 or 10 gauge. Instead I had to make it out of 3/16. Oh well I finish that tomorrow, then onto battery mount/ wiring. Then cage to frame then bumpers. Home stretch.
Shifter is done, gonna weld on the shifter linkage tab to trans. I ended up snapping the stud. Anyways I found out I most likely have cancer, so just going to finish the basics and start taking my kids for ice cream runs before I can not.
Oh shit that sucks. I hope it turns out better than it sounds.
Get it running and driving and then do some other things as you can and want to. Sounds like a great plan! And we are all pulling for you, as you have already seen in your other thread.
Thanks. Yah just need to throw some paint on the shifter bracket, and the top of the cage. Some small wiring and should be ready to go. I started it this weekend, so I know it runs.
