I bought it, it was awhile ago when I got it but this one has a nice combination of fluids containers it can hold

This past weekend I started to realize how much more sanding I have a head of me
This is at 400grit and it has a haze so once I get everything to 400 I'll go back over everything stepping to 1000 and we'll see if I care enough to go more than that

Also I'm looking at the eastwood roll on epoxy primer
The bottom two tone and roof is a mix of bare metal-original primer-original paint
Anybody have experience with Eastwood paints? Is it decent or should I stay away?
I'm liking the idea of roll on primer

I take it this is a "known" vehicle from the paintjob? Does anyone have pictures of it from back in the day?

This thing was pimp back in the day, flame paint, nice cut and smoothed front and rear fenders, inchworm adapter, arb air lockers front and rear, the axles had diff guards with flames cut into them(which makes sense now) and maybe the rear trunk and the front bumper air tank at that time
I tried Google to see if I could find any original pics but didn't find anything

Alright I found out some backstory!
Nothing special unfortunately
But I figured out who I bought it from, messaged him, he's buddies with the guy who originally built the rig, that buddy had bought the truck from his dad who had bought it new
The son did the yellow paint around 98 and then resprayed it gold to match his Ford in 02
So the truck wasn't yellow for very long

Do they have any old pictures of it?

He has these but nothing with the yellow
I asked him to keep an eye out for some old yellow pics but those might be buried in a box at his buddy's house

Alright finding mirrors was a bit of a hassle but for future reference 1973 Ford f100 type 9 mirrors get you pretty close
I had to bend them a little bit but they look pretty good
The flat section that the mirror bolts to does slope slightly downward but it's hard to notice unless you crouch and look for it

Also I got the two tone and the roofed primed today so I'm done with paint for awhile, well unless it looks terrible in the sun
I used the Eastwood epoxy roll on opti flow blah blah blah, for simplicity

The black primer looks ok in the sun
I've been trying to figure out another color option to paint the black sections and yellow with red flames is really hard to work with
If I go red I'm worried it'll be too McDonald's-y
This Toyota bright gold in place of the black is tempting but I'm having a hard time picturing it in my mind
Also those 3 orange/golds are all allegedly the same paint code

Side conversation on one of the threads here had me guess that I wheel with about 200lbs of tools and spares
It had me wondering if that was accurate so I measured all my junk
83.8lbs of spare parts
132.4 of tools
216.2lbs total
And then on top of that I have fluids that I didn't want to dig out to weigh, maybe tomorrow
