Just trying to get some stuff painted tonight so in the next few days hopefully I can get some assy. work done. Got the rear bumper brackets primed n painted flat black. Also got the center bumper filler painted. The metal piece is flat black and the filler piece is trim black. Not gonna use the right n left fillers, the right piece is junk anyway but the the left piece is good but no biggie lol![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0498-1507571824.jpg)

Got a couple parts installed I painted yesterday. Not sure why, but I am having another lazy day lol. I ordered more Eastwood chassis black satin for the inner wheelwells. Hopefully it will come for the 3 day weekend comming. Then I can pretty much finish up the body  ![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0527-1507571826.jpg)

Was trying to figure out how I was gonna hang on to these babys while sanding.........................Problem solved  ![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0597-1507571833.jpg)
Well, two hrs latter I only got one done   that took alot longer then I thought. Strip the other one in the morning. Not sure about the insides though, there is a light coating of undercoating there. I'll prolly leave it n just chassis black over it. That should help the rocks n stuff.![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0600-1-1507571833.jpg)

Got the 2nd wheelwell stripped. It sure would be nice if I can get these painted and installed today  ![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0604-1507571834.jpg)
![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0607-1-1507571834.jpg)
Ok, got the insides sprayed. They look shiny in the pics, but the Eastwood satin will calm down as it dries. Now as long as it don't take 3 hrs to dry enough to flip them we will be ok lol![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0615-1-1507571834.jpg)
![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0620-1507571835.jpg)
Got the wheelwells flipped n painted. All I can say is OMG......WOW I shouldn't say it, but I can't help myself..................... I think these are gonna look bad A$$ under those yellow fenders
There is no way I am gonna try n install these tonight. Gonna wait till morning. In the mean time I think I will work on the final install on the battery.![[​IMG]](/uploads/users/3/2017/10/DSCF0621-1507571835.jpg)
