FBG...the beginning

[blazinchuck]

Once the body was reinstalled, then came some twin sticks. Drove her around for a couple months. Just needed to enjoy all that work I just put into her.


she was getting there slowly, but surely:xyxthumbs:

Then word on the street, was there was gonna be a 4x4 show coming up...so we busted our butts trying to get her finished and be at the show. Now came all the body work...






The body wasnt too bad. Had to remove and weld up all the side trim. convert the front marker lights in the grill back to the '74 style(someone made them the 66-67 style). We painted it at my buddy Scott's garage. We had just painted his K5 there a week earlier and it came out great and the shop was already prep for painting. The grill and cage were treated to some "tiger sharp grey" and the body got 2000 Dodge Viper red, for some reason a few pics look like the body came out more orange than red...but its red






all the body work,prep,and paint was complete in only 3 days!!! We also deleted the original tire carrier mount system, I was in the market for a bumper/tire carrier combo
