I Hurculined my 3rd Gen Limited flares and body cladding. I did the grill and my speaker box last week and was very satisfied with the results.
I just washed it in the pics so the flares are wet and the weather stripping is not installed. I'll take better pics tomarrow.

looks good ........... how about some specs on that bronc

Hyperlite

It is a 1969 Bronco Half Cab. It had a 170 6 cyl with a blown head when I bought it so the block/transmission is sitting in the woods so I am looking for a 351 windsor or a 5.0 HO EFI. I am the second owner and it has not run since 1989.
some stats.....
-5.5" superflex suspension
-3" body lift
-blue urathane bushings
-frame off restoration
-POR 15 (frame, axles, suspension)
-Ford 9" rear axle with trac lock differential 4.10 ratio
-Dana 20 transfer case
-33x12.50 BFG Mud on 15x10 amercan racing wanted 38.5 but the wheels and tires were only $100

that looks damn good

When I did my speaker box, I striped the carpet off I wanted to keep my box cause it was made by JL audio for the 12w6 and is 1" MDF. I had trouble getting the glue off so I used a dewalt metal grindig flap disc and grinded it to the smooth MDF surface (wood disc might have worked also). Then I panted it gloss black, sanded it till the gloss was gone and was roughed up, then I wiped it down with acetone. I hung it in a tree and then rolled 2 thick coats 1 hour apart and let it dry for 24 hours.

I put Herculiner on the front bumper of my taco and hated it... It's not very durable, so every time a rock hits it it flakes off. Also it faded really quick, Within 8 months, my bumper was a dull grey, not shiny black.... Plus it was a pain in the ass to get off (steel tube bumper that i made). Took me a whole day with a wire wheel. Now i just use gloss black spray paint, works 10 times better, and it's easier to repair.

That looks really nice. I plan to do the same thing on my runner too. I thought about lineX too, and the duplicolor spray on liner. WOnder which one is the easiest, most durable and economy way to go.

Did you spray it on or roll it on?

Here is some more pics. I think I am going to roll on another coat and finally do around my tag. Check out my new roll bar

I was waiting for the glue to dry on the side cladding, I was a little hard on it.


I need to put the weather stripping on but I don't know what type of adhesive to use?
