ammonia? I've been out of the body industry for some time now (wasn't in it for long either) but I've never heard of using ammonia after buffing. Does that strip any of the "wax" like features of the compound off?

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Yessir ammonia pulls all wax and silicone from the paint that way you can give it a true polish without any cutting compound getting in your polish..

Man Kyle, you never disappoint!
Its becoming redundant, great job!:metal:

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Looks great from here. I need some of your buffing experience when I get to that point.

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Have my note pad at the ready, How much ammonia do you use?
Better yet,,,,, interested in the break down of steps you use while buffing and wet sanding.
Totally Awesome Work Man.:metal::metal::metal:

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

you got a deal. I like as much new stuff as possible, so the plan is to buy a new bed and front end. so the majority of body work would be the cab. have you seen the kin-dig-it handles? they are slick and think they would good with suicide doors.

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Mike, I'm anxious to see what you've come up with and then watch Kyle do his magic on it. Fun times ahead, and not too far off.

You too Gary, that puppy's looking real good so far.

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Yessir very cool handles I used them on a 69 camaro I done a few years back..

Don't think your getting left out...;)

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Looks PERFECT as usuall! I take it you are in business for yourself now. Congradulations! I'm guessing this will be a very successful venture for you. You do amazing work at an incredible pace. Cant wait to see this one come together.
BTW what part of the country did the black truck go?

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

I was hoping it was you that was the Laidback vendor. Im impressed with everything Ive seen you do. Im thinking that I will be giving you a call when I get around to doing some work on the truck. Do you do any bodywork or just paint? And Im assuming you can install the vintage air kits too? Im about 2 hrs away in the Lawton area. Lucy looks awesome!

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

Thanks I've been working hard for a long time to make this happen.. The black truck stayed semi local its in Edmond about 40 minutes away..

Thanks for the kind words and yes I do full paint and bodywork.. Also we are an authorized installer and dealer for vintage air so if you need any help I'm more than happy to help you out..

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

well well. Oscar needs a front runner system for the lsx454. I started my research already of what I need to buy to drop the motor in. parts are more pricey but the labor wont be as involved as the last go round. at least I hope. haha. you rep anybody else?

Re: Project "Lucy"
 

The best front runner system in my opinion is vintage airs or eddies motorsports
But we can get others like billet specialties setup... We rep a lot of companies just a few are Vintage Air, Eddies motor sports, showheels, intro wheels, trim parts, helix companies, Dakota digital, undercover innovations and a lot more..
If you need anything let me know..
