It is looking awesome

Just one question, why didn't you paint the front of the grill while it was off???

The front center was painted silver, the rest will be painted with the rest of the truck, that is an easy tape off to do.

It is looking nice. You have come a long way. You brought that truck back from nothing and now it's looking like something very nice.

Got all the hood latches in this morning and added the last 2 filler pieces that have been overlooked.

Spent the rest of the day giving her a nice rub down, I rubbed every inch of her, she liked it too, Now I just have to get some of the hardening lotion to put on her in a few places, Spray her with some nice foundation then give her a final rub down then she will be ready for her final make up. No pics of the Bronco today, you know ladies do not like their picture taken when her makeup is not on.

You sure know how to wooo the ladies, rubbing them down from head to toe like that. You treat her nice and she'll treat you nice.

But I thought the hardening lotion was for us guys;)

Got the BroncoDesign flares primed also

DSCF0056Medium.jpg


The day went like this, Completed the door insert install, Shot the primer, shot the blue on the front fenders so the flares can be put on Monday, taped off the body panel joints and seam sealed, and repaired the gas tank on a lawn mower. Next week the paint will be done, and the finish wiring started. Will have a windshield frame shipped on Wednesday and it will be painted and installed after I receive it.

This week has shown me just how much I miss doing paint and body work.... One of my prior jobs was as an Aircraft Painter,,,

Thanks Roger,

And I do want to give www.broncodesign.com a big thumbs up on the flares, The fit was better than I had ever had when installing them. they were just stiff enough to pull the fender to them instead of the fender pulling the flare. Great fit, great look.

So close now you can taste it huh, or is that just all the primer dust in your nose and mouth?? It really does look amazing Bryan!! I can't wait to see it in color!! You know if you painted those rims blue where the black is they would look really sweet there too. All polished up and shiny.
