The whole MGB is done in plasti-dip in these pictures what would you like to know

I do a couple of thin coats and allow that to take before going to full wet coats. I found going heavy without a decent base laid down doesn't make for as good of finished product on large areas. Also do not use spray cans on large areas it never comes out well.

Oh and as I get time I'm getting rid of the gold trim on the Expedition. Also did the faded gray plastic below the chrome. It really cleaned up the look of the front.

I need to finish up a few things and she will be ready to hit the road. Probably blow the diff in the first hour but it will be fun lol. The goal is the 2017 power tour with my Dad as the co-pilot for the run.

Brother that would be cool! I'm on page 4 of the build thread, enjoying every bit of it too.

I figured we should celebrate an insane project with an insane road trip. I'll even do a crazy dip job on the MG just for the power tour.

Made it to page 19 and gotta stop, 5 hours and the alarm goes off. I'm sure it will look the part wild man. The cool part is your Dad going with.......... find a stronger diff.
