Only planned on experimenting with the front nose Quiet Ride sound deadener but after you are up to your elbow in contact cement you may as well just finish it. There is a definite difference in how hollow it feels in the cab now.

What is the part number for what you bought?

Blacked out behind the grill and PlastiDip on the wire looms to restore them. About all I have time for on Mammas Day. I have a new mini buffer coming Tuesday so the grill will get cut and buffed before it goes back in.

ignition came out great. I can put it up on Shapeways if you want one.

RH side and nose cut and buffed. NOS fasteners for the freshly chromed jewelry make it go together so nice.

All the issue spots are repaired and I AM DONE PAINTING THIS THING! It still needs a bit of cutting and buffing to get a lot of overspray off it. It will get much more shine when it’s done but now I can do it and know I don’t have to do it again because I have to paint more.

Words can’t explain the joy I’m feeling right now now! Three coats of clear down and flowed out. Once the UV cures it for 5-6 hours I’ll sand out a bit of peel and a few gnats that decided to land then 3 more coats and it’s done.

A few little things to fix but I’m happy. Once it drys a few hours I’ll clean up the problem areas and may I can get a few coats of clear on it this afternoon.

:rofl: What does it mean if I enjoyed doing it?

Bam…. So close. Time for a break. Maybe till tomorrow when I’m fresh and can end with a good day with no issues.

Not even close.

I can feel the finish line. 4 coats of clear on the back and it’s done, one coat on the front to seal it for taping. Should have another quart of Frozen White next week. Need to fit the gate in a few days to tape up the lines to match the body and then mask off the letters and shoot the...

Yea, no…:)

White in the middle with orange letters. I puzzled that too but finally just did it with what I had.
