Re: slammed 57
Can you elaborate on what you did for the center section of your chassis? Maybe more pics? Prebent 2x4 - one end or both? Where did you get them? What about the hood flip? Did u use a kit or ?? Thanks.

I used a frame curve from weldersieries.com about $50 , and spiced them in, I bought 2 thinking i would need them but the angle was not as great as I thought it would be and used only one ,its really not hard to do ( sorry about the pic but there's limited space to get a full picture from underneath the truck) I did price out some pre bent 2x4's from art morison and it was $300 plus another $150 for shipping (due to its size) I even tried some of the metal shops around my area but bending 2x4 is not to common , tubing yes, but not 2x4 , as for the reverse hood I got it from NO LIMIT, those guys have it down, its around $400 you can build it your self but you would only save about $200 and a lot of time of trial and error(some things are worth buying in my opinion). hope this helps

Stripped the rear fenders over the weekend. I did so with a strip it disc, I was curious why the passenger side came out so different than the driver side, So I went over to the SPI forum. One said that he runs into that when a panel has very thin old paint on it (which this fender did) Iam guessin then sun bakes the oxidation in through out the years. I even hit some areas with a 80 grit disc with no change. I was told to blast it, SO I did and it came out great. Now time to get them in some SPI epoxy, I love that stuff!!

Re: slammed 57
I find when I blast stuff there is a profile left behind that is basically like miniature craters if magnified. I usually have to sand the panels or when I prime the high spots are still exposed. A body supply guy told me about it. He said when he blasts he sands before paint because otherwise the high spots can start to rust. He said it would be like priming a sheet of sandpaper, the low get paint but the highs would still be exposed. Depends on the grit of blast material you use I suppose. Anybody else sanding after blasting but before initial primer? Makes sense I guess. If you go to wipe the panel down before priming and you leave parts of the rag behind like lintel it is because the panel isn't smooth.
