Was wondering if it was your New Years resolution
Envy of SJ, yes. Then I remembered I got the LJ and you have envy

I'm slacking on the updates.

Just a few more rust repairs.











Both ends of the bed support replaced.






In the process of cleaning it up and media blasting, this was followed by a few more small patches


A coat of upol etch primer #8


And 2 coats of upol raptor later, applied with a Schultz gun.

Nice work

Tidy looking welds and a good finish there. I love it when there is space and time to to the job properly. I can imagine it is frustrating and satisfying in equal measures. Just the kind of project I love reading about. Cheers.

I love the work you do

Thanks guys.

I enjoy the repairs and painting SZ5 but the strip down and paint prep is always a chore definetly satisfying once it gets to this stage though. Now I've just got the interior and exterior to prep

So what's the plan with it? Will the restoration be back to 'stock' or have the mods fitted? I'm a bit of a fan of the 'original' look rather than the lifts and things.

The quality of your welding and tin work are truly a work of art,a skill i always wished i could do,but alas i doubt that i will ever happen,just like driving them these days rather than get on a damp floor and ruin your joints like i did 4 years ago working on motors.

Cheers bud! Had a lot of practice over the years!

Had a few other little jobs to do on the body but now the bulkhead and interior are painted in raptor











Should probably change the title of the thread as it's not going to be white for much longer
