Do you have a list of things that have gone wrong and need to be fixed?

Rear bumper would be next easiest, again just nuts & bolts and patience lining it up.
These two alone would take up your weekend.

Always plenty to do, but never enough time to do it all. Let's see this weekend:
Going to 1st annual Good Guys show at ATL motor speedway.
(There goes a whole Saturday!)
Maybe Sunday:
Adjust valves & carb
Mount hood
Install door sills
Dye door panels

Go to the store and get a can of black spray paint and a can of silver(Chrome) spray paint. Paint that dull boring spare tire carrier black then paint the bracket silver. Trust me, the people following you will appreciate it, plus its cheap entertainment. It will keep you busy for hours, taping and painting- painting and more taping.

Duplicolor sells truck bed lining in both regular cans and spray cans. In my experience, it takes about a week for the stuff to get hard on fiberglas - but after that it's rock-solid. I coated my battery box/storage compartment area with it, and I think I'm going to paint some in under the console.

I did mine last year. I just used a decent spray paint from Ace Hardware. Nothing special. I put several light coats on and have not had any problems. Just remember- LIGHT COATS - means no runs in the paint. Take your time and it will look great.

Thats the fun part- you can paint it anyway you want it. Glossy or flat. Mine looks almost identical to star79's( grey with Black bracket), but I'm kinda thinking about changing it to gloss black with the chrome (silver) bracket. Anyway, you can paint it anyway you choose. Good luck and take some pictures when its done.
thanks guys!
