[newman]

Got the Floors done today, patched the bed as well, I am almost ready to lay por-15 and the durabak liner, I am waiting for the OPSH rust inhibiter to work on the remaining surface rust has to dry 24hrs. so I should have the body done by wed- thursday. Than I can start on the mc2100 and HEI swap. I will post pics when I get the durabak down.

I would have pics of the repairs before the liner, but Kellie took the camara to New York with her and the Girls, I wanted to get as much before, during, and after on this build and do some write up's as well.

Body lift is on por-15 is down, what is differace that made. the PS rockers are 90% painted and almost ready to go on, the body is being preped for paint,interior is being preped for durabak. Dash will be out today and that will be preped for paint. I found a great source for auto paint $65 a gallon for base and $33 a gallon for cler and primer. they sell a kit that comes with most things you will need to paint the jeep with. here is the link if intersted. http://www.paintforcars.com/
I went with Gun metal Gray Metalic as the base coat.
