I have not decide quite yet, the final decision is gonna be is if i stay with the stock fender wells or do the trailer fender conversion, if i do that then they will go green, but we will see.

Basically, all it is, is a set of fenders off of a car trailer or the likes then welded to my fenders. i go to my local princess auto, and can pick two up for 5o dollars and they can be used aas new inner fenders or as rear wheel tubs i guess if you like.

When you painted the engine did you just use a regular automotive paint or a special high heat paint?

What brand?

it is just automotive paint, but the block is prepped really well and degreased, then epoxied and sealed and then painted with bc/cc. it is dupont epoxy and sealer and house of color paint and clear. i have done this before and it seem to hold up well.

me too i think.

well i spent most of the weekend and started wiring up the truck. i got the front wired up and the engine bay. i am really taking alot of time at this, soldering everyconnection, crimping and heatshrinking. running everything so it is mostly hidden. i got headlight relays and the fan relays in. i am using the 21 circuit from ez wiring. so far it is not too bad to do, a nicely constructed harness. but the instructions really are bad. as long as you have some knowledge in the wiring department you can do it. otherwise it is good. i had one hangup and got some help from the board. tomorow night will be the tail section then the interior. so far so good. getting that much closer.

Later
