The exhaust mode switching to open exhaust is totally a owner issue.
I tend to let it run for a while before I move it around, certainly I want to have it well warmed up before moving it.
Sometimes we have to step backwards in order to move forwards, in this case I had to remove the bed, disassemble and start priming and sanding the bed.
The process is pretty much the same as when I did the front, sand, clean, seal, then red for the pin stripes.
After taping off the red I sprayed silver, then taped it off for the black.
Along with the fenders the bed and steps and front panel are getting painted also.
I've started the cutting and buffing, then I just had to see how the chrome pieces look against the black.
I've got many hours to go til the buffing is done, but what a great finish when done.
It's been about 8 months since the front has been painted, the truck's in the shop, to see how the finish is holding up I took a quick picture. Still looking good.
Getting the bed done and back on the truck is going to be a huge step towards completion, I'm getting a little excited. Jim
