so back into the paint shop today .. and previously , we had decided to pull the front end apart for paint ..

getting close now





should be in Primer by the weekend


.

 

I wanna see this done!!!

 

so got my side sliders all "mocked" up today .. these windows have a real tendancy to leak bad .. so I wanted to fix this problem .. I believe I have



i'm ready to pull it apart , tint the windows and put it back together for the final time .


you can see all the info here Toyota Trekker - rebuilding original canopy windows




.

 

did some tinting on the weekend ..

side glass and back glass ..





I can now start to assembel the side glass for "keeps"


.

 

so still waiting for paint .. so I got the mud flaps "detailed" .. a quick clean , and a paint pen make them look new again








.

 

If I give you lots of money and my truck, will you rebuild it for me?

That's just awesome... wish I had the time, money, and skill do pull off half what you have done on that truck.

 

I am with you on this! I wish I could do something like this.

 

Thanks fellas .. and YES , I would , could and want . This is what my shop does . It wouldnt take 4 years like mine has , as I only get to do mine on weekends and evenings , but there is just about a year waiting list !!


.

 

Man this has been the longest paint job in the world. Its been over a month now and i have yet to see the first coat go on. Where do you find these slow shop workers. First the carpet guy now the paint guy. I cant take it anymore. AAAWWWWWWWW . Oh ya keep up the good work

 

so CRAP !! I had some time today to stop the paint shop

Truck is NOT primered , only the "extras" (now with some guide coat)





I have a feeling i'm NOT going to make the fathers day show and shine !!


.

 

it is in Primer now , and "guide coated" painter says it wont be long now

I'm stoked .. looks GREAT !!









.

 

Man hurry up already

 

Is it done yet?

 

How about now?

 

so hood , doors , valance and rear hatch are all blocked and ready for some color



the rest of the truck is in "progress" of blocking ..
