    I suspect a new strap has been ordered for that winch? Hmmm?

    Do you have a paint booth to spray in? That's cool.

    Yes in a booth.

    It took nearly 5 hours of spray time to prime the whole thing and double coat with all the inside stuff. You could read a newspaper in part of the main rails that got paint. As I mentioned previously our plan is to tape off the inside and detail prep the new fenders and outside rails. It is gonna be awesome.

    Wayne, we have gone way overboard. It is silly how much time we have spent. I don't think either of us will care to do another for a long time.

    As my friend Mark says about my projects.

    New seals and bearings packed. Hubs and drums have been rattle canned. Chances are good I will apply a few more coats when I paint some new brake brackets and bolts.
