ok, didn't mean to hit submit yet, but oh well...
after the pop-outs, i fixed stripped the pass. rear quarter above & below the stripe (i already stripped below the stripe) and primed & painted that, then did the rear doors...
the driver's side quarter above the stripe was stripped, primed, and repainted - need to do under the stripe though still...
i got a smoking deal on a front spoiler, so painted that and installed it before the flared boards...
and the center & lower section got custom 'webbing' in silver...
the flared running boards were tricky for me, because i didn't want to make up some brackets to make them functional (honestly, after stripping them and blocking & priming them, i didn't want anyone putting their feet on them...!!!)
so, i decided "What the Hell" and did this:
after about half an hour with a 7" grinding wheel, i cut them down and used some of the original 'glass to make up the bottoms - them put new 'glass & resin over the whole tapered section, some filler, sanding, priming and paint got this:
and added chrome trim rings to my tail lights...
