Thanks. Mine are in good shape and I like them so I'll be keeping them. Going to keep the same OEM color, if all goes well she'll be mostly in primer tomorrow.

Core Support is now painted and installed. I was in San Antonio for a week thus the delay.

I visit with Gary for a bit to get out of the house, being sick so sucks!

He was doing some wet sanding when I got over there.



I throw the rad and stuff back into the engine compartment while I was there, now paying for it! Stupid!



So the Core Support is done, wasn't so bad after all.



Maybe next week we will have some green on it.

 

[boss]

Added a base coat of green today, this isn't the same green I'm using for the finish but something to seal the body work. Now I will wet sand this in the morning and start all over again.



More pics on the link I posted above.

I am jealous, that is going to be one great looking Bronco. Great job on the body work by the way. I have painted a few rides in the past but nothing turned out that nice...

Thanks, I got the door from a local vendor but I've seen some good buys on ebay for new aftermarket doors for under a 100bucks, its worth a try for that price.
