Gonna be the true definition of a roller too, as I will be driving it a lot especially once winter comes and working on it at the same time. Will be challenging but we did it before.

So, here we go again. Been down this road once before with the Bull - it's time to frame paint. You can see it's not in bad shape for its present mode of service, but we're gonna improve upon that.
Lots of quality time with the flap disc and grinder, as well as some other smaller hand tools to get in some crevices.
What a difference a coat of paint makes:
Then I discovered this: my encapsulator was gummy in the bottom of the can - so, I could only go so far...
So I stopped here in this wheelwell - encapsulated and primed. Need to get some Chassis Black to spray final paint. I think I'm going to go with a satin finish rather than gloss. Not sure yet.
I also discovered this. Someone gouged my fender trim recently. That's alright, I have plans to address this.

Finding anything in my garage is a challenge. I'm pretty sure I'll come across them.
If I don't, I could always replace them with these:
