Took Advantage Of The 80 Degree Weather

[300rag]

Well got the next step done, had the bed liner sprayed in. I'll finish the prep this week and plan on painting early next week. Forecast calls for 80's Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Just curious. My thought was why not paint first, and spray liner after?

Mainly because I don't really want anyone working on it after I paint it.

I get that. They don't always have the most careful techs.

They were probably wondering why you'd spray a liner on a truck that looks like it does.

Tight fit in the booth but it did fit! I'll mask it tomorrow and paint on Tuesday since it's supposed to be in the low 80's. Perfect paint weather.

Got it painted today. I ordered new tail lights, grille and a rear step bumper for it. They should be here in a couple of days and then I'll be done.

Nice work!

Good to see that you are keeping your painting skills honed after retirement.

Yeah I am but I was tired when I got done! I'm out of painting shape for sure. Of course this is a lot of area to paint.

Would you consider doing a B body?

Would you consider doing a B body?

No, I'm retired. I do have a 73 Charger I have to do for my grandkids and a Ford pick up for another grandkid but as far as customer work I'm done.

 

[tallhair]

Understand that but don’t hurt to ask

 

[azblackhemi]

All done. Installed the new rear bumper, tail lights and grille. Put the shell back on.

He doesn't need to. It's not for sale.

Marvelous work! That's gotta be as much sheet metal as a C body!
