Chevyman63 · 06-24-2007, 01:44 PM

Looks great!!

Longhorn Man · 06-24-2007, 03:39 PM

jeff, you got the new tires yet? Are they goin on those wheels, or on something else? (rallys off the junk one IMO)
Lookin good man, lookin good.
You need to tell these guys what you have invested in the paint and body.

hgs_notes · 06-24-2007, 04:53 PM

Nice Jimmy! So what did you do with that old beat up red blazer?

Southedisto · 06-24-2007, 06:20 PM

Nice looking Jimmy for sure.

LonghornJeff · 06-24-2007, 10:38 PM

I have about $200 into the body and paint.
sheet metal, poprivits, bondo, fiberglass, spot putty, sandpaper and paint.
This truck still has alot of body rot.
someday I will do better job but for now it is all i could afford.

LonghornJeff · 06-24-2007, 10:44 PM

another before pic

**Yukon Jack** · 06-25-2007, 10:25 AM

Great improvement for $200. I just might do something like that to my K5 to get it protected and one color.

terryks · 06-25-2007, 10:31 AM

$200 well spent!

BUDDY · 06-26-2007, 03:58 PM

Very Nice!! Did you just spray can it, or do you have a compressor & gun at the house?

Later,
Buddy

compressor and a cousin with a spray gun.
rick shot the paint. I picked the color

I got the bumpers on today. I will get pics when it quits raining.

LonghornJeff · 06-26-2007, 06:32 PM

ok it quit raining...bumper pics

the front is just painted (spray can)
the rear is off my swb (swb it getting a new one)
I think the rear bumper is a huge improvement over the old one

**jamie72** · 06-26-2007, 07:55 PM

I used ammonia to clean the top and semi-gloss black rust-oleum
oil based paint.
Trisodium phosphate (TSP), is a better cleaner but ammonia is cheaper.

Hey Jeff, great lookin job on that Jimmy with a budget anyone should be able to afford! That black roof rather than the original white was the way to go with the "sand" color.

Thanks for the pics---DAC

thanks
the plan all along was black grill, bumpers, top and wheels.
The interior is brown so i thought the sand color would br a nice contrast
to both the brown and black.

the interior pics will be next carpet, buckets and console, lap and sholder belts..ect

**jamie72** · 06-26-2007, 10:15 PM

nice paint... but why is the top still on?lol
