[904Bronco]

I have a done a couple of them, definite improvement over the stock one that is now 51 yrs old...

Really nice work! What color blue is that? I really like it.

Thanks Crawlin. It is Color Code 7, Harbor Blue.

That is what it looked like. That is my favorite Bronco color! I can't wait to see yours all painted.

Unfortunately not painting the whole bronco now. Just the areas I repaired rust and the inside of the tub. Full paint is farther down the list, but is in the future.

Was able to tape off last night and spray the raptor after work tonight. Only took about 2 hours to spray and an hour to clean up and remove tape. Very happy with how it came out.

Nice work Mike, that looks awesome. Great weather to shoot it.

How many hrs taping off and sheeting the garage?

[M_luther]

Thanks Doug. I probably have 6-8 hour in sheeting off the garage. Did over multiple evenings last week. Bye the way your write up on your raptor experience really helped. Hardest part for me was cleaning the gun between bottles. I didn’t have the mixing issues you did as all of my content (raptor, tint, and catalyst) all fit in the bottle and it did not overflow when I attached the gun. Took 4 bottles for the tub and tailgate.

That came out great. The color match is spot on!

Sprayed the dash tonight. Other than me spilling paint all over my gun and counter when I started I think it came out pretty good. I’ll know for sure in the morning.

It looks good to me! Ready to install soon...

[M_luther]

Starting to put her back together. I ordered a Centech and it is back ordered due to COVID. Hopefully be here in a couple weeks. Will do what I can until then.

Any reason to place or not place sound deadening in the locations circled? I was thinking it wouldn’t hurt anything. Was only going to put on the upper kick panel down to the lower dash brace where it isn’t visible.

It will help if you add some...

[M_luther]

Thanks for the reply Doug. I figured it couldn’t hurt so finished it up after work tonight.
