The site will turn the pics sideways if you take a landscape pic.
I think Tripper said, if you turn the phone to the left to take the pics it will work too.
Heck I don't know the new fangled toys drive me nuts

Thought I would post a couple of progress photos, been a while. So, I found out this baby had about 6 coats of paint along with primer between a few of the coats. I just decided to strip the paint, using stripper bought at Lowes. I applied the stripper, let it set for a bit, then used my 4000 psi power washer to do the rest. It really turned out better than I thought it would. Here's a few photos. Gonna finsih her up, then shoot a good coat of epoxy over it. I also added some hood reinforcing along the outer edges under the hood,using 3/4' box tubing. Now, when you lift the hood it does not flex.

Great idea, using the pressure washer. Assuming there is enough room to prevent collateral damage. I'd likely end up with used stripper on one if the shiny cars.

Not to mention the dog,cat and the house.

Brother , it's called rich brown low gloss from Urekem paints. I have used their epoxy and paint on two projects so far and love it. Their 2K primer goes on nice and deep, so you can block it out smooth. Love the epoxy too.

I like the way you "extended" the grille. [cl

More progress today. Putting your projwect back together is alot of fun, because you know its just a matter of time before you hit the road with it. Here are some photos of the running boards installed, and my unique way of holding the seals in place while the black adhesive sets good.
