I painted the bumper strip on the front, and the big plastic piece on the tailgate, and the rear bumper step pads...also the air dam in the front. Used duplicolor bed paint, love this stuff. Also fixed the drivers side window switches (switch did not operate the passenger side window), took the switches apart and cleaned the contacts. Replaced the interior lights with LEDs (broke the overhead map light doohickie trying to remove it, before realizing the lenses on the map lights pop out). Rotated the tires, found out I need brake shoes/pads. Painted the drums and calipers. Pressure washed, then undercoated the truck, 4 cans of rubberized undercoating. Washed, then waxed the entire truck. Then took pics with my Z...I'm loving this truck...
Slick looking rig, I would say to take the air dam off. You know you want to.

See I don't think they ride stiff at all without a load, but that's just personal preference. They also give you about 1.5" of lift too, so now I HAVE to get spacers in the front to make it look normal again.

Helped clean out my friend's dad's foster dad's house yesterday and today, he died (meth addict) on saturday. TONS of ford stuff, power tools, and about 40 chainsaws. I got to keep a few goodies, including jack stands, a couple drills, a few random tools, 2 mini floor jacks, a complete 16" e-fan kit including wiring, a new functioning better stereo deck for my truck, and a ton of CB stuff. When I go through all the CB stuff I think I will dig up that CB thread we had going for a while and breathe some new life into it.
Ted, the guy who passed away saturday, was building my friend's dad, Eric, a 390 for his '66 Galaxy. We found just about every part needed to build it, including genuine Shelby FE-motor valvecovers, Shelby air cleaner, 2 sets of over-sized pistons, aluminum heads, several intakes and carbs and much more. Lots of random 428 parts too. And about 75 Holly carbs. 2 and 4 bbl's. Double pumpers, you name it. They still have a storage unit to go through as well, and there is a ton of gearhead stuff in there too.
It all sounds cool, but all this stuff was stuffed in with random junk and a lot of ugly stuff too. Glad to be able to help them though.
