Cool project BTW.....

I got the front bumper painted and mounted.

I also got the rest of the truck rattle canned.

I also found some paint at Tractor Supply for $29 a gallon, but it only comes in tractor colors. Mite do Semi Gloss black and Ford grey.

jonzcustomshop · 02-08-2009, 08:32 AM

make sure to put some sort of seam sealer on all those weld seams, -both sides, otherwise the moisture will creep in and start re-rusting it.

Barebones66 · 02-08-2009, 09:31 AM

The stereo goes all the way in.....we were in the process of wiring it at the time.

We also used security screw that takes a special tool to remove it to deter the thiefs.
