Explorer 1
After 23 years and close to 50 modfications old Explorer 1 is finally getting a proper paint job. All new rubber is also in store for the worn out parts along with yet another modification, hood louvers. I'm even replacing the tail lights, and all the front plastic trim.
First will be the upper portions (hood & roof) painted a pastel gray to match the carbon fiber Autohouse roof tent. Below this will be the original white and then the lower body will have a black bed liner material.
All chrome has been removed and is either being painted matt-black or anodized black.
New windshield along with all other weatherstriping.
I've already had the integrated roof rack and spare tire holder powder coated a textured matt-black.
Hopefully, it will all come together when it's finished.
Here it is as I dropped it off at the body and paint shop.
It will take a few weeks, I'll post as progress is made.
Thanks,
Fred
