    Yes. I'm thinking about covering everything except the nerf bars and having them Line-x so that way you have more traction when you step up plus the texture wouldn't look bad either.

    Hey everyone. So I have flipped the tub upside down to prepare it for paint and have started preping all the fenders and hood also for paint.

    Thanks Greg, ya the person did try to protect it a little but they used really cheap stuff. its like a cheap spray on thin coat. Doesn't really do any rust prevention and peels off really easily once you get it started. Check back tomorrow cause I'm going to take it all off. And then once i prep...

    Yes having Morris down the road is so nice and convenient. I can just go over there and see everything in person and talk to them and i don't have to wait for shipping, i can take it home with me. And I'm going to trust the rubber lines and if i have to switch them out then i will.
