Felt kind of lazy over the weekend but still wanted to hit some kind of car thing..... So, they kicked off the more local version of Cars and Coffee over at Easton, which is about 10 miles from me.... this is just a bunch of guys with every kind of car or truck imaginable getting together to kick back and talk about cars for a few hours.... You don't really realize how "low" the profile of my truck is until you surround it with a bunch of sports cars. And, yes, that is a half million dollar plus Ferrari there on my left side...... he has more money in just his wheels than I have in my whole car....

So I just got the official "Okie Dokie" from my grandson.... We will start building the Smyth Jeep Wrangler pickup truck conversion probably starting in November or so. I'm getting it ordered in a few days here and will start doing the nationwide search for a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Take a look at the build spec.s here.... https://www.smythkitcars.com/jeep-ute I'll start a new thread when we get going....

Sorry, I did not see your post sooner. We learned a lot about this build which we will use in doing the Jeep. You can ask anything you want on here....

Just trying to figure out these C pillar/quater panel joins... been using a lot of 08115 3M structural, as well as high grade marine epoxy with 1.5oz glass layers. First time!

You'll be fine. Mark and those guys really did their engineering on this conversion. I've put over 8000 miles on my truck since we finished it up. A lot of that going through mountain passes, heavy construction, etc. My bodywork hasn't budged and my paint looks like the day we sprayed it. Only little extra bit of protection I do on it is to use my soft nose protector on long trips. Keeps all the gooey insects from making a mess.... :lol:

Excellent build. Trying to buy a turbine system to repaint my bmw. Would love your insight. Looking at the sprayfine system. Planning to paint the Isle of Man green colour that bmw recently started using.

I recently bought a rare bmw car painted in a similar colour shifting fashion. It’s called sepia Violet by bmw. I’ve only found it preMixed online. Any suggestions for if I can use it through the sprayfine? Phil told me to use more reducer than recommended but the only paint I found online was premixed. Posting pics for reference.
