Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man. I asked and he said solvent based. He just finished painting the backside of the tailgate.
 Pics up tomorrow. Waiting to see the stripes on yours.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
I can't run the scanner at work, so I took a pic. I'll scan some color pics tonight if I get time. The date on the cover is May 1988.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Ran out of paint after finishing these. Didn't get the bottoms
covered entirely. That's fine, I'll shoot some rubberized undercoating on them later.      We're calling this a factory look.  Houston, we have a problem. Went to take this bolt off from previously being temporarily installed and the nut was fused to the bolt somehow and wouldn't turn loose. It ended up spinning, screwing up the cutout and then the bolt snapped (while being held) after getting hot enough from all the friction. Nicked the paint up a little, but should be fine.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Wow...real nice. Was that perhaps a stainless bolt? They love to gall up. Use lots of them in my industry.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"

It's amazing how much dust they collect sitting in the shop.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Thanks man
Garage dust, and the occasional bug mud dropping (?). Underbody is still really clean Driven 28 miles so far. After we get the rest on/painted I'll take it out on the highway for a while.

Re: Project "My Happy Mess"
Got the passenger side bolted down but didn't get a chance to hang the gate. Some of the latch assembly needed painted too, so I shot them with zero rust and let them bake in the sun.
