Rustoleum, you can find it at Lowes and it works out nice that if I need to do a touch up I can just go pick up one can for 7 bucks not having to buy a whole gallon of the stuff plus it helps prevent rust.

Few updates, after cutting the front fenders i noticed that the sheet metal flexed alot so I made some small brackets that connected the fender to the inner fender wall.
Also, put up a detail shot of the rear part of the roof.
Also got tires finally.

Wife is glad Im done for now, now its time to get started on the interior upgrades, still need to put on my fender flares.

Ill get some poser shots later!
