should be getting a lot of work done soon... paint date is the end of this year and the lift and everything will be on by the very latest of march 30 (when i get my liscense)
Paint everything you can while it's apart, frame and all. It'd suck to want to put rust preventative and paint on parts you can't get too with the body and bed on later.
This is all to familiar to my winter last year. Look up project flareside rebuild. Chassis saver was my favorite stuff. Frame, leaf springs, bottom of cab, bottom of bed... inside fenders. EVERYTHING
Looking great!... A little tip to anyone painting interior pcs. Get you some Krylon Fusion, it's made for painting plastic and is extremely easy to use and it comes out great. I painted my door panels 3 or 4 years ago and its been closed up in the summer sun for long periods of time. No fading and not a sign of chipping or peeling.
When you do it tho, I took some steel wool and went over the entire piece and then wiped it down with paint thinner to remove any armorall that may heave still been on it.
Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread. Great job you've done with it so far. Can't wait to see the end result. Keep up the great work and post lots of pics!
Great build my buudy took a 90 model inter and put it in the 86 and the mounting brakets wouldn't fit the 86 seat belts so we converted it to lap belts lol beautiful build btw
