I spoke with Black Dog Customs a few months back they were selling the oem plug for 350 I thinkWhere are you getting the 1/4” turret cover (plug) from?
Wow the OEM plug for that cheap. I had the part numbers from the TMs and the cheapest I can find was 600.I spoke with Black Dog Customs a few months back they were selling the oem plug for 350 I think

EDIT: the wheel wells look a little higher or maybe it’s just the picture angle
I felt so inspired by how great your truck came out that I ordered the CARC paint (which I have been delaying because it does have a limited shelf life) and I look forward to paintThanks! Just the angle.. still have slant back rear seats floor mats and a few odds and ends to finish.
Thanks! I painted my first car at 16, I'm now 47 and dont know how many trucks and cars I've painted. Key thing is wear a mask!I felt so inspired by how great your truck came out that I ordered the CARC paint (which I have been delaying because it does have a limited shelf life) and I look forward to paintThanks for sharing the great work!
So it's no accident that it turned out so good.Thanks! I painted my first car at 16, I'm now 47 and dont know how many trucks and cars I've painted. Key thing is wear a mask!
There's a few videos I've seen on YouTube of guys filling in holes on the armored parts for the rockers were at. If it was me I would look into trying to find replacement rocker skins and rivet them on. The smaller holes that are 1/4-in from this bolts are easy to fill with Bondo just make sure the metals clean so that it adheres to it.So it's no accident that it turned out so good.
Did yours have the armor holes around the fenders and rockers? If it did, how did you fill those? (maybe used the same Bondo type filler or something different?)
I typed too soon asking about the two side brackets/ blast shields on the cargo door, since they are not installed and presume you will re-install it with the top armor piece.Rear hatch installed. Refinishing armor plate and I will reinstall. Seats and rear installation installed also. Ordered doors from West Kentucky surplus. Hopefully he this week!![]()

I painted everything while taken off the HMMWV. If your painting in place then rolls of plastic from Menards or any home improvement store are your bet. Along with rolls of blue painters tape.I typed too soon asking about the two side brackets/ blast shields on the cargo door, since they are not installed and presume you will re-install it with the top armor piece.
Are you planning to paint other parts of the body also?
Any pointers on how you mask the parts you don't to over-spray? Like steering, plastic dash piece, AC/ blower, etc. Or the interior and the bed are already painted?
