HM-2030 Build Log - The Storm Ahead

[Greg K]

Finally on the way to the painter today. Also wanted to share how well the Bronco tow loop/hook worked out. The clearance to ground is 3.5" for the tow hook and do think that there will be no issues driving with it in place.
Will update the progress as things go bodywork and paint wise.

What is going to be he color?

Just scratching the surface now...

Wasn't happy with the finish on the side pipes which has been degrading from the flange to the collector. While in for body and paint, it seemed to be a good time to also have them stripped and recoated by Jet Hot, I also decided to cut them up and upsize them with a new muffler with Classic Chambered's Cobra Packs. Once the new mufflers get here we'll weld them back up and have new coatings put on.

New Cobra Pack mufflers from Classic Chambered, ready to be welded back together soon.

Back on the body after a 3 week break. Should see it in full high build polyester primer by the end of the week if all goes well.

Got the new cobra pack mufflers welded in and then cleaned them up to be smooth with a flapper disc, black will be stripped and then recoated black.
and another milestone getting the first coating of high build polyester primer this morning!

Got it home Saturday and got right to work with the trunk carpet today, many other things to do to get it back together. It's been a long summer...
