      Still doing body work but,

      Paint came today.....


      Eastwood Royal Blue.....


      Cleaned my other set of ten holes to get ready to sand them down, going to paint them silver argent. Then shod them in BFG's.

      Yet again, keep it running verses body work. Carb blew a gasket so while I was down I deceided to change the timing belt. Still had the 130xxx 1985 belt in there. Might clean some rust out as well.

      Thanks. For sure "budget" is the key word. Looking for engine swaps but as I have to move in the next 3-6 months I'll have to wait on that.

      Drilled all the holes today for trim/exts. This piece is an aftermarket item from LMR.

      Forgot about this thread I started.....

      But I'm spraying this guy tomorrow in a garage, pics for sure. I do have the 10 holes shot silver (leaving the Tiger Paws on), for the centers I need to get blue paint for the Ford oval.
      I also have painted all the trim, mirrors, trim on taillights, cowl cover, racoon eyes, wipers arms black.
