So I went to Costco and bought my new spray booth, sanding shop,$200. I can put it up in a couple of hours and will take it down  at the end of Oct when it cools down a bit. meantime we have some 70 F days so good for putting on the high build. I started with a Wash primer then my high build.Also did a couple of extra rear 27T fenders as a winter project. I only built the shelter 2/3 s the normal length as that is all I need right now. I have two fans blowing air so it works OK,also have an air supply for me.
Having the box off is good as I can now finish off the gas tank plumbing and electrics.
If I keep going  the booth will go back up in April and I can hopefully be ready to spray the truck.

Finally finished the front sheet metal fitting. Just turned it around and will remove the box and prime it so I can start doing the blocking before It goes back on. Also I want to finish off the gas tank filler pipe up to the left fender gas filler door.
I do not like the five horizontal grill bars and if the Merc grill comes together then will use it. failing that I will get rid of the short top bar and reposition the remaining four so that they are equal in the grill opening,meaning the bottom stays and the next three get moved up a bit each.
Just recieved my bearclaw latches from Terry in New Mexico,great quality and price,also picked up a wireing harness on sale it is a Keep it Clean 15 fuse 23 circuit kit. So no excuses for sitting around this fall.
Back to work
