Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

He did spray some sort of sealer. I don't know paint and body, but he has been doing it for many many years. But good observation/question. I always ask him stuff like that to learn how it all works. He did say he wished that color covered better. Prob gonna take 4 coats.

I told him if it turns out anything like this roadrunner he did, I will be happy.

Heading to the shop tomorrow to check out the finished paint job after wet sand and polish. Put in a LMC order to get several odds and ends to get her back on the road.

Pics to come...

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

Dropped my LMC stuff with the bodyman today. Hopefully get lights done and front and
back glass in by next weekend. Ran into slight snag on taillight fuel filler. The Lens is thicker than we thought and does not want to clear properly. We have a plan and I will post up more pics and info as we get further along.

Thanks for the comments!

I know I haven't seen a finished painted truck in a while on here. It's nice too see one done right.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

Ordered my shaved door kit from autoloc today. Got a great deal too. They are offering free ground shipping and 20% off all web orders. I got the 199.99 4 channel kit with 50lb heavy duty solenoids for 159.00 total.

Only things left to buy at this stage are front and rear bumpers and front grille moldings.

Re: BP68 Official Build Thread

No new pics yet, but a progress report. All glass is in, door popper kit installed, one piece windows in with power regulators. A little touch up to do in the door jambs this week.
If all goes well, will be taking seats over to shop to get installed. Getting tag and registration tomorrow. Plan to drive her home no later than Dec 4th. I don't have bumpers yet. Those and grille moldings are next on the "save up" for list. Interior will get done a little at a time.
Mainly want to get it on the road to help fire up some motivation. It has been a long time coming.
Projects this deep on for sure not for the faint of heart, and I doubt I will do it again.

Finally! First pics of assembled truck out in the sun. Also first test drive of completed truck.

Saving up for bumpers and grille moldings. Then do carpet, door panels, interior a little at a time.

Hang in there. I planned to be where I am now a couple years ago. Even tried to sell it before final paint.

Glad I stuck with it and driving it helps get me motivated to keep going forward.

Make a check list of little steps to do. Each step puts us closer to the end.

Next step: Haul over to body shop for paint.

Step after that: Haul back and put it together.

Next: Drive it like I stole it.
