Today Tom, Derick and I did the final wet sanding and complete wipe off/ blow off in preparation of Sundays paint job. I figured there is a total of 54 hours so far into the prep of this beast.

I went down to Mazza and picked up a large 12oz syringe of 2 part epoxy to seal the LED light brackets on the roof. I epoxied all the mounting brackets, power line holes, TV antenna bracket and incoming cable hole. I have used this epoxy before it sets up in 4 hours for a lifetime.

I covered the engine/radiator/all engine wires with tape and a thick mil plastic. All tires were removed, sand blasted and primed. I spent 3 hours with an air supplied hood on sand blasting the frame, springs, bolts, rims, bumpers, jerry can holders and anything else I could find. I feel like I am doing a Scyros Job on my own truck.

If I have time/access Saturday I am switching the mud flaps around and installing the jerry cans on the rear bumper. Then Sunday it will be time for paint. Pictures to follow.

Spent last week prepping the truck for a fresh paint job.I was lucky and got a good truck from Oddball, Only had 6 rivets that rusted and had to be repaired. Other than that the truck was rust free, not bad since last month was her 40th birthday.

Today was finally time for the first coat. I went from a 3 tone camo Ink blot look back to factory. I still have along way to go but the hard part is done.

I like your garage Don. I can't wait to see the finished project.

 

[islandguydon]

Tow4,

I wish, I aspire to have a garage, this project is being done at a neighbors wood heated Pole Barn. He is in the excavating business so he has the big toys and a big garage to put them in. I am a lucky guy to have good neighbors.

 

[RAYZER]

I need a good neighbour!! Good job Don!

Final coat

The final coat is on and dry. The wheels took some time sand blasting but it was worth it. The next set of pictures will be complete.

Then I have to install the DIY rock sliders on the 1028.
