Hey, got paint flying yet ?
You inspired me to get off my ***, so I did some welding on the other "New Project" last night.
Only till 11PM though.
Got the R floor and body patch burned in.
Running low on Gas for the Mig, ran out of .030 wire AAARRRGGGGHHH !!
Just as I got rolling.
Will post update pics on my thread at and of weekend.
Wedding anniversary this weekend, so only get to work on the Jeep 1 day.

By the way this is me waiting patiently for the end result.

Nitro Out
Bro N Law wet sanded the primer last night. Ready for the silver paint maybe tonight, hopefully. Sweet! I'll be watching your thread. I hate it when ya get zoned in and run out of material like gas, wire etc. That sux.Sunday is our anniversary also. 12 years married and 18 years together. High school sweethearts. She's my buddy.
Happy Anniversary Nitro and Mrs Nitro!

The plan is to get the paint booth all cleaned out this evening and shoot the silver paint. I'm crossing my fingers.
