Part 4 project red2gb body work & headlights

[motozachl]

This bumper was in the worst shape ever, took about 5hrs+ on the DA and hand sanding. Then used a full can on some filler. Got a bit more prep work for the bumper and then I have to do all the trim and the 6 side skirt pieces

I also sanded down the CF hood and the 2ga twistie side skirts I will be adding

Didn't like the stock chromed headlight look so I took them apart and painted them black. Also removed that yelloworange plate for the blinkers replacing them with just some yellow bulbs.

Shake'n bake!

Testing out the new paint....its a perfect match! Using Valspar tractor and implement single stage. Color: INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER RED!!!

Very easy to spray and at only $12 a quart I can afford to mess up

Sneak peak of the side skirts installed. Very scarey drilling holes into your doors/body

Theres just so much pride in doing bodywork and whatnot yourself, along with saving money. People around here always brag about how nice their stuff in and whatnot, but they always shut up when you say i do my work myself ( provided its decent work ).
