My little mule, Pe'pe

[broncomatt]

Ok with the help of my wonderful wife I have made some more progress on my truck. She painted the engine bay to finish off the inside tub stuff. I will need to do the floors next along with the spots on the frame where the cage tie in and rock ski's mount. I added a seat belt bar and there are tie in's on the floor to mount the seats to. All the axle parts are ready other than needing brake pads I will have both axles completely back together this week. I started tearing into my engine and was very happy to find it super clean and will not need any work other than to fix a slightly leaking rear main seal. The engine cage is out to be painted and the main cage is coming out next. Other than the out side of the body panels the rest of the truck is being painted with SEM heavy duty paint to prevent any rust. This truck will always be a wheeling rig so rust prevention and ease of repair is more important than being pretty. I spent some time with a hammer and dolly and have mostly fixed the dent in the grill so it will be reused. Spread some all metal bondo on the patches I put in the dash after moving the glove box over. Soon I will be buried with smoothing out the body to get it ready for paint.
