crappy paint^^



^^ outlines indicate where i need more bondo to keep the body lines.

while that is drying im going to go pull off my front end. ive got a local car meet tonight @ 9, so im hoping to roll up with my front end all done

 

good luck haha

 

Looks like you've got a good day's work ahead of you. Looks good so far.

 

1st coat of clear is on the surround. i had some runs in the paint, so i to wet sand with some 1500 then shoot it all again so im out of paint now. bumper is 1/2 primered, pad is almost smooth, and im waiting on the bondo to cure so i can tackle it with some 60-grit.

verizon needs to get its head out of its *** and fix its damn online album. it takes forever to load and sometimes it stops, so i have to keep hitting F5 and holy crap i just want my pics!

 

finally!

cleared:



tri-colored bumper:

 

Looks like you still got quite a bit left to do. Did you get the old front end apart yet?

 

yep- it'll be all done in about an hour. pics when it all said and done.

 

putting the bumper on already too?

 

yep. i got the top pad off. so the bumper is white, grille is all put together. im waiting for the clear on the bumper so i can put it on the truck. pad isnt coming out like i wanted to, im going to scour the JY for a smooth pad and just PTM.

so all i need now:

harness & OEM headlight w/ fog switch (on its way)
fogs
top pad
valance


im tossing the idea of just settling with a regular valance, fogs, no tow hooks. $80, plus $100 for fogs & brackets

 

The bumper pad clips are super easy, ill see if i can take some pics this weekend if i get a minute. The center pulls straight out of it, then the outside of the clip comes out.

 

yeah i found some needle-noses and just yanked them out.

 

 

WOW. That looks awesome.

 

...trade me grills

 

grille looks sweet. but what about the gap
