Well I waxed the 71 today for the first time since I got it painted. Took some pictures and a video of it to show everyone. Just messing around with the camera tonight it's nice outside 64 degree's today.

Here is a picture of reflection after waxing.

I'll post some more later tonight or tommorrow depending on what I get.

Nice, VERY Nice!

Somebody has some non-rock music playing in the background, you may want to check on that so it don't ruin the shine

Andy4639 · 03-03-2008, 07:08 AM

Well I bought the paintable front bumper and had the light holes cut into it and welded the bumper bolts up and had the front tag frenched in to it.
Thanks I do to!

Looks great! This is your Daily work truck is it not? So is the bed cover your work box as well (tool storage and what not)?

When I say work truck that just means I drive it to work. I work maintance at a Nuclear station so I don't have to carry tool's with me except for when I go out of town to work. The tool's are for the truck if something happens to it on the road.
I have changed 2 water pumps and a fuel pump on the side of I-85 in SC & NC. Let me tell you even off the side of the road as far as I could get those 18 wheelier's would scare the crap out of me when they came by.

Here is the bumper & hood in prep for paint.

After the tag area was done before preping it for paint.

I had the holes and bolts done on the first go around back several years ago.
