Well I got some done on the jeep today. Not sure how much i can finish over the weekend is i need some more reducer for my paint. It came out pretty good for a redneck paint booth ( outside) I alot of insect corpses on the finish and a few runs. The worst is some spider cracks in the fiberglass that i didnt catch and on the one side you can see somecracks, so i guess after it is all dried i may go back and tend to it, or maybe not, depends on my mood. So tomorrow i hope to primer the grill and windshield frame since they are metal.

I really think the yellow looks good

 

Looks good. Wheels black, white or matching yellow?

 

Still not sure. I am leaning to make them match the body but the black looks good. I may paint them yellow jsut because it is not as easy as rattle cannnig them black if need be.

 

paint looks great Dan.....think white wheels would look great with your color choice.

Well i got er all assembled. Still have to attach some wiring and see if it starts (crossing fingers) But i have a few spots to touch up, like some bolt heads but there is a big difference between when i first got it and now. The wife now wants me to paint the rims red, so we will see. I was jsut going to paint them black and have a yellow pinstripe, so we will see, sicne i do not have any red paint right now.

Before
