Some thing like that, but did the plug and chuck routine on my broke pieces too. And NOBODY re-pops those. It might have been a good idea at the time, but technology marches on and so did I :wink:Quote:

Now here is where I sanded the tub w/180 grit and hand sanded/buffed the tub w/a red Scotch pad per the U-POL instructions. I added the 180 grit, wanted the stuff to stick as good as it can.

Ok I'm tired and I am very please w/this product. Prep was 180 grit and then followed up by a red Scotch pad. I wanted it really scuffed due to some of the POR-15 used and old paint on top of paint. Way to easy w/the spray on. I had the compressor @ 120psi and regulated the spray @ the gun. I did some test shots w/just air w/the compressor set @ 50psi to get the feel, then raised the compressor and adjusted @ the gun. Worked out well and when I changed bottles I just unhooked the air line to keep the consistency for the next bottle. After the first coat & stuck the gun in some lacquer thinner and shot until the gun was clean. Waited an hour while it bakes in the sun & shot the last coat w/the main object concentrating on the bed since it will take the most abuse. So, how does it look? I'm sure it will pop when the OD gets on there. :)

Since I am doing OD & black I think the black accents under the hood would look good.
Looks great Jim, and the "spray is the way"!!!! I did the roll on in the inside of the YJ (sprayed the undercoat) and it took 3 coats inside and doesn't look near that good!!!
Thanks Pat, and thanks for helping me get back on-line.
Hopefully I can shoot the outside w/OD tomorrow if not on Monday, we will see.
All that is left is:
Fuel pump
Exhaust routing/mufflers (using stock manifolds)
Cut rear drive shaft to fit
Lokar kick down (unless MC has one for a TF-999 to AMC 360)
Front brake hoses
Fix the windshield and get glass (75bucks)
Add the front bracket to the power steering pump
Get a return p-steering line
Install the interior
Get a mini spool for the rear (in time)
Make some rock sliders for the sides (this will cover the hole that I soaked the POR-15 into)
Transfer title/get tag
That might be it. Trying to finish no later than the first weekend in May but we will see. Moving 1June09
I'm glad I made this list, I might have to refer back to it 111!!!
P.S. I ordered the oil block off plate from MC a few days ago, hope it will help the 360.

Other than the cancer under the "Jeep" logo and passenger 'B' piller - it looks fantastic!!
Ya I know, it would have been more of a headache to cut it out and re-weld it (I tried) since I have a el-chepo welder and it just melts the metal even when I do it in spurts. I POR-15 the heck out of it and poured it in there after the required prep so I don't think it will go anywhere. Plus, I rock guard will be covering this spots and covered in OD on the front & POR-15 on the back side.
Thanks for the complements,
Next the doors, dash and factory rims in OD w/the wheel having a Black accent on the outer edge. Stay tuned.
