Re: N00b with a 72 c20

I got my new body mounts put in today. just the cab mounts. I havent done the radiator core support yet.



getting them out wasnt too bad. Had to put breaker bars on the top and bottom of the front bolts, it was pretty tight. the back ones came right out with the impact gun.

I also hit the hood with the DA and some 80grit. Smoothed it down a bunch. the flaking paint was driving me crazy.

I also for the first time ever cleaned all the windows inside and out. took alot of simple green and windex but it makes a 1000% difference when sitting in it. lol who'd have thought huh.

still going back and forth on paint. I really want to start shooting it with some cheap rustoleum. I have a quart of Aluminum color staring at me at the shop and a new paint gun...

I figure at least it will be one color. I have to take every panel to metal anyway and am going to go a panel at a time so one more layer of paint isnt going to make a difference.
