Most everything is in primer. I had my rock armor corner guards, sliders, and metal cloak fenders blasted and primed.

Color choice is still between red And now grey.

Thanks guys. It's been fun and a lot of work. We can't wait to drive it.

Got the bottom raptor lined, it's the 2017 Ford mustang blue self tinted.

I kept the monster liner to long and it got thick, well to thick to spray. It is not monsterliners fault, I kept it for over 3 years. It's still good to roll on, but it's just to thick to spray so i Ran up to my local store and got the raptor liner.

I my painter is painting the tub, and I plan to get it back this weekend. I will lizard skin spray insulation the inside fire wall and front floor boards. Then I will spray raptor liner on the inside, and just over the edges where a hard top would sit, or feet may step climbing in and out.



Every year when it cools down outside, I get the itch to work on my jeep.

I looked back over my build and this time every year I get motivated. 

Parts I already own. All metal body parts, all seats, all guages, wireing kit, seat brackets, fuel cell steering column, dash.

So once it comes back from paint it should get assembled fairly quickly. I hope to at least drive it around the block this winter. 

I still need drive shafts, roll cage, and some small hardware pieces like tailgate cables and latches.

Getting excited again.
