These are all REALLY DUSTY mind you!!!

FirstGen · 02-15-2004, 01:29 AM

The guy I bought it from put those stickers on there, don't worry there're HISTORY!

FirstGen · 02-15-2004, 01:30 AM

What should I do to the inside of these fenders?

DanoDMano · 02-15-2004, 01:31 AM

Nice color, and I especially like the carpenter rear window sticker!!

weasel29gm · 02-15-2004, 01:32 AM

Bamm · 02-15-2004, 01:42 AM

I like the stickers too..........Jerry

ACES · 02-15-2004, 04:55 AM

I love the color, looks great!!

as for the inside of the fender, how about POR-15 it.

Blue Beard · 02-15-2004, 09:42 AM

Looks good so far....

Bet you can't wait to start putting her back together.........

**Palf70Step** · 02-15-2004, 10:31 AM

Very nice. Can't wait to see it again as one piece. Nice color for sure.

ltitsnw · 02-15-2004, 11:29 AM

Like the color, looking good.......on the reat fenders, if it were mine I'd shoot a few heavy layers of spray bed liner, looks good and helps protect the pretty side from rock damage.

FirstGen · 02-15-2004, 12:13 PM

Thanks for the compliments guys - I can hardly walk I'm so excited to get it all wrapped up and put back together!

Ititsnw - Good idea, I was thinking something like that.

kaycee · 02-15-2004, 03:52 PM

I would clean the backwindow lol I put some 3M undercoating on my fenders they look good I did put about 2 coats on them.

70c10 · 02-15-2004, 03:53 PM

Looks good. Are you painting the inside the same color?

FirstGen · 02-15-2004, 04:07 PM

windows will get razor bladed. go with black and silver on the inside most likely.

FirstGen · 02-15-2004, 04:13 PM

70c10 - nice work on your website. what do your custom door panels go for? I was thinking something simple like black with verticle stiching and maybe a small bowtie somewhere on it...

When I wa s a kid I lived down the street from this older man who worked with wood. Could build just about anything out of wood. His name was Paul Hoffman. He also happened to be of the jewish faith. One day my brother and I are out and see a car drive by with a "my boss is a jewish carpenter" bumper stickers on his car. My brother and I look at each other and say in unison, "Hey, he must work for Paul Hoffman!"
May be only funny to me, but I thought I'd share anyhow.

FirstGen · 02-16-2004, 01:35 AM

haha nice

trinic · 02-16-2004, 12:15 PM

I'd do what the other guys posted about line-x or rhino lining. would help with rust and road noise....
love the sticker in the center...

Smokin72on20s · 02-17-2004, 04:45 PM
