JENSSEN Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Well the 1988 Comanche needed a refresh ,.. After a collision and a hit and run I decided it needed not just mending but a full refresh,... Rolling in,.. And the repairs begin 1.5hrs later And we continue,... Box mending Frame prep,.. Guide coats going on after a white primer: Block sanding in progress More to come,... Now do I stay original colour or go white with pearls? White? Maybe blue pearl??? I considered 2 tone but I have another truck for that,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rymanrph Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I am a big fan of pearls, so that would be my vote. Maybe something like Lexus' Starfire Pearl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86customanche Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 I wasnt a fan of white trucks before I owned one. And now I wouldnt want it any other color. A good clean white truck really shines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JENSSEN Posted April 25, 2013 Author Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well today was the day it made its trek home :) It's now in good company again,.. Tucked away for reassembly Whoooot!!! Looking plain,.. Watching it bounce on the way home I am really unsure how much I can lower the stance without the wheels contacting the fenders on the front,.. Rear has lots of room to work with though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JENSSEN Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Front end parts are tricking in,... reassembly has been slower than expected with the new baby. Hope to get the box bolted down, tank back in and back on the road soon! Lots of tedious work repainting parts, trim, and soon to line the bed.
