Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
would sand blasting with a real heavy grain sand, give you the cast look ?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
you could fill the letters with ALL-METAL filler ?

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
what, you didn't want to buy my 14" TT's? they had the cast look you are after. :D

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thought about having them blasted, and all-metal was one of the ideas. I'm gonna try to spray the texture on- we'll see how it goes...

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
SEM 39853 texture coating. Supposed to be top-coat-able. We'll see. Mentally preparing myself to strip it off if need be...

lol...prepare for the worst, hope for the best !!

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Was hoping removing the emblem was part of the plans ;) Looks so much better....I really don't get why they think that was a smart business move. Maybe on the center cap but not in the spokes....probably cut their sales in 1/2 or more for people not willing to do what you are....
And on chrome....I bet it cut their sales by 1/4 Looking forward to seeing them done with the texture and those flat caps...should be a very cool look!!! |

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Had some free time today, but it was too cold to paint wheels, so I set to work installing bigblock73's corner mounted 6x9 brackets. High quality, excellent fitting pieces that sound WAY better than my old boxes that were stuck in the corner. Two thumbs way up! :thumbs:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Wow, I've missed this build from the get go. Looks like I have a lot of reading to do to get caught up. I just finished reading through the 6th page and I know I need to check in so I don't forget to finish reading. I've lost track of so many builds by not check posting to subscribe. I have to refrain myself from jumping to the end to see the finished product. It all Looks great so far. I can't wait to finish reading through.

Tested out my wheel finish on one of the fronts tonight. I think it turned out pretty decent. The paint is glossier and darker than I wanted, but I think it will work. Just gotta do the other three now...

Thanks everyone! Excited to get them done and on the truck.
McBassin- my truck fairy wears brown, and for the low-low price of $699, will bring you a set of your very own :chevy: |
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Very nice! Love the look! I think you nailed it!!!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I just finished up to this point on the build, and I love it. The weathered Patina look is awesome. And the wheels look great too. I can't wait to see them mounted! Keep up the great work!
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
699 that is crazy !! WOW
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Wheel looks great. Too bad you have to do all that work. I'm thinking of changing my wheels to 20s also. These might be in the running.
|
Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks again everyone. The more I look at them, the more I like them. Yeah, I will have a bunch of work in these when I'm done, but I saved a little money, have something no one else does, and can say I did it myself :chevy:
