October 7th I’m scheduled for paint..

Need M4 to get bumpers and header panel off before…. (header panel due to fragility of studs)
I wanted to get the underside of the truck checked structurally (bumper mounts and uniframe) the spare tire winch removed and possibly a coat of Chassis/undercoat..

Ill prob have some other misc stripping to do afterwards as well… bead liner, mirrors etc..

spent an hour of hooky this morning before a meeting taking apart tailgate and rear lamps.. other misc things..
dropped off on way to work @ Hahn retiree / old body guy who did the work and will paint it...
appoint made at upholstery shop for later in oct when their work slows down..

need to figure out bumpers...
front will be easy.. just need to find something I like..

MJ rear bumpers are a bit harder..
can M4 do some DIY work?

need to get some new bumper attachments.. the ones on the car are a bit rusty crusty.
