Just trying to get some stuff painted tonight so in the next few days hopefully I can get some assy. work done. Got the rear bumper brackets primed n painted flat black. Also got the center bumper filler painted. The metal piece is flat black and the filler piece is trim black. Not gonna use the right n left fillers, the right piece is junk anyway but the the left piece is good but no biggie lol

Forgot to add that I am really glad I went to my buddys house yesterday. I forgot about the front bumper bracket braces that go to the frame. Also forgot about my front sway bar, but thats gotta wait till I get bushings n links anyway.

Got the bumper braces blasted and painted, Hammered silver ofcaurse lol

Got a couple parts installed I painted yesterday. Not sure why, but I am having another lazy day lol. I ordered more Eastwood chassis black satin for the inner wheelwells. Hopefully it will come for the 3 day weekend comming. Then I can pretty much finish up the body

Was trying to figure out how I was gonna hang on to these babys while sanding.........................Problem solved  

[​IMG]


Well, two hrs latter I only got one done   that took alot longer then I thought. Strip the other one in the morning. Not sure about the insides though, there is a light coating of undercoating there. I'll prolly leave it n just chassis black over it. That should help the rocks n stuff.

Got the 2nd wheelwell stripped. It sure would be nice if I can get these painted and installed today  

[​IMG]


[​IMG]


Ok, got the insides sprayed. They look shiny in the pics, but the Eastwood satin will calm down as it dries. Now as long as it don't take 3 hrs to dry enough to flip them we will be ok lol

[​IMG]


[​IMG]


Got the wheelwells flipped n painted. All I can say is OMG......WOW I shouldn't say it, but I can't help myself..................... I think these are gonna look bad A$$ under those yellow fenders
There is no way I am gonna try n install these tonight. Gonna wait till morning. In the mean time I think I will work on the final install on the battery.

Got the lower valance sanded with 320 then 400 and got the sealer on.

[​IMG]


Ok, got the yellow on.

[​IMG]


[​IMG]


Got the clear on. Now it's time for a beer n relax! Tomorrow is my day off for the holiday, so hopefully I can get another can of trim black to get the lower grille painted and get this baby installed  
That should really finish up the nose.
