I have the tag back on and a temporary light. Tomorrow I plan on installing the outside mirrors. I'm back to drivable!

[kb426]

Today I removed the tag bracket and shot spray can paint on it. I installed the outside mirrors and gave it a bath. Paint and body is done till next year. I have lots of other stuff to attend to.   I cleaned the shop some so I can start finding a place to store some of the stuff I've been using.

Bob, at least it was really good spray paint!
I'm really hoping to find a good set of fenders and a hood before then. While I was shooting pics from the front, I realized why people pancake the hood. There maybe more work added to the list.

Pancake the hood ? alter wheel openings ? Next thing you know out comes the metal flake , lace paint and freak drops ! Hey , good idea !

Can you still get metal flake in spray cans  :?:

The way they do flake these days is to blow it dry on to wet paint and bury it under clear. There is a special gun to do it . Many youtube videos on the topic . There is also a thread on the hamb about flake , lace etc . that I try to stay away from as it just makes my condition worse ! probably 60 pages or more of mouthwatering candy and flake jobs .

I should stop wasting space on your post with this obsession with metalflake ! My kids find it funny as they sat in the truck with me as I followed a bass boat out to the lake once that had fingernail sized flake paint . Its kind of like the stuff puts me into some kind of 70's hippie trance . There must be a support group for this .Maybe I was a low rider in another life .

Today's projects: I redid the loom going to the rear of the truck. It was sagging between clamps so I added some reinforcement to it. I made some splash shields to protect the engine compartment from tire debris. I need some soft rubber to close up the gaps around the suspension still.
