The Work � Part II � POST PRIMER

COMPLETED! THIS SECTION WILL NO LONGER BE UPDATED!

-------------------------
The Paint!
I grabbed some pics of the paint. It looks cool, but the colors you see will not be dead on how it looks. I just wanted to grab some pics of the paint in the can... it looks cool.

Anyway, here are the three colors and a close up on the green and drak brown (the tan was blurred).

Body Work - Fiberglass and Bondo
The life of every bodyman. Whatever, here's some pics of the tailgate and the passenger side door. Had to work on the spots where I welded over the stock mirror holes. Also, had to fix the cracks on the tailgate.

The tape is over the fiberglass because when it dries, it dires flat, so it's easier to sand and work with. A nice little tip.

Update!>/i>
Okay, I figure I need to get some pics up. I took the car "off-road" today to get a "Baseline" for flex and suspension. I quote both those words because offroading was done right next to my house, and a baseline may or may not be neccessary.

But, at least you can see the project as it's coming along.

Nice job and great work! Looks cool! Nice job on the photo editing, come check out my photo edits to my 86 Crown Vic. I have an 89 Bronco II on my last page too. These Bronco IIs are the such cool little SUVs. Nice tight turning radius. L8R Blaze
