Friar Truck the "No Budget" S10

Maybe someone would pay you to throw them in a fire.

Got to work today painting.


"Before."


Tearing apart the front end was a lot more fun then I thought it would be.



I gotta find my putty and get to work on that bumper.




I ran out of masking tape so I used scotch tape and playing cards (cost $1).





Test fit...





Repainted the emblem the proper way.


I also finished cleaning all the headlights from spray paint (that came with the truck).


Don't mind Black Widow cup......


I painted this little thing too...

Tomorrow, or next nice day, I'm going to finish painting the rear bumper which I started tonight. Then I might start doing bodywork if I can find the putty (and if it's still good).

Maybe someone would pay you to throw them in a fire.

Hey, that would work

[FunfGang]

Starting to move in a better direction, looking forward to more progress.

[MattyHacks71]

No.

And who puts a roof rack on a truck?

Don't be a dick

Thanks, hopefully I'll get more progress up soon.

That looks great man, I've seen a lot of trucks with racks and they all look nice.

lol the tags for this thread!

Omg, I just saw the tags.

I'm not being a dick, it was a legitimate question. Also, that's a crew cab short bed, so it works. He's got a standard cab, so IMO, the rack would be too short to realistically carry much of anything.

Which makes me sad. I was originally going to put the rack on the cap like this, but I'm rethinking that idea...

[Miroteknik]

I've seen this sickness before.

[CrackerTeg]

I've seen this sickness before.

It involved plastidip.

[CraigSnedeker]

The heat has just been bad. I wish I could have an air conditioned garage to work on.... hahaha.

I finished painting the rear bumper, looks better from afar. I just need a new bumper, this one is rusting out and the black trim is cracked all over.






That doesn't look right...


Better





Everything was re-installed and is a huge improvement.

I also started on the body work... and I am not very good at bodywork...

I ran out of bondo and money, so the truck is going to look awful crappy for a while. This is my second bondo job so I am not that good, but it's good experience for me.

[CraigSnedeker]

h a t e all you want, I'm really happy with the way it turned out. I did a lazy job though and the paint is peeling, cracking, and fading in some spots.

/lesson learned

[CrackerTeg]

I take back what I said about burning the window cranks. Burn the whole damn truck instead.

[Stupid Kid]

I would do more than spray paint a few little pieces of plastic before posting an "update" one here, people will give you shit about it.

yup
