Oh wow, has it really been two years since I've made an update? Apologies lads, but dont worry, I havent stopped pursuing the project. Main reason for my absence would be that i have had nothing to do an actual update on. From the last post, it has taken me a while to get the painting complete and after searching around shops and asking a lot of friends about paint booths, i found absolutely nothing. In the end i knew this thing wasnt going to be painted by someone else and it had to be me to complete it. After some months of prep, gaining paint tools, watching mannnyyyy tutorials, i was able to paint it at my home in a day (tan base).
Next came the red and debated between using a red gallon or cans. End conclusion; cans. Tad more expensive but most places around me carried the color so if i ran out theyd be easy to obtain.
All of this took place since the middle of May, so a month to have almost everything on the outside.
Next im finding the correct decals to place on the doors and hood. I do have a lead from a user in the motor pool on facebook so those should be ordered shortly. In the mean time im figuring up the best way to place the amber fogs. On TJs the tailgate hinge hits the right fog, so im going to install a dummy left fog and have dummy wires coming out of the right tail lamp, to give it that "ive seen use" feeling.
It has been a blast building it, gents. Hopefully here soon i can get the notorious gold user name and help out TJ builders. I will post an update once decals and fogs are placed. Cheers!
