Your moving along pretty good there J-man, looks great!!

After several hrs of sanding and filling fiber glass finally primed the hood. All of the bronco is now in primer. We started seam sealing the tub but ran out of sealer. Tons of blocking to go, hope to roll into the paint both on Friday.

 

[JDJ]

Today is the first time I have looked at your build in a week or so..... you are making great progress and it looks awesome. Keep up the good work!

 

[J-man]

Thanks everyone for the support and motivation. I'm doing taxes today and I'll find out if I can buy some big ticket items. Wire harness, vintage air, interior, ya all the fun stuff.

Before and After

Just for fun. This motivates me to keep plugging away. Before and After

 

[J-man]

Underside of hood prepped and primed last night too. Ya it was a late one till about 2am

Looks good, question on the seam sealer. Do you just lay the bead down or do you smear it in with your finger like you would around window trim or baseboard?

 

[J-man]

So the seams under truck and in unnoticeable places we laid the seam seal down went behind with a small brush now the important (noticeable) areas we evenly masked then filled. These ones we smothed with finger . The sealer we used dries in like 15 min so be sure to remove tape before its to late.

Looking good. I just noticed your from UT, makes me want to make my bronco a luber.

 

[J-man]

I've always loved the luber look with a slight lift Rollin tall skinnys

 

[J-man]

Got all blocking done. Pre-fit all parts one last time for final adjustments. Very happy how everything fits. Bonded fiberglass hood prop supports on so they will be painted same as truck. Very little to do on Friday, will have it on the trailer ready for early Saturday.
