Re: 68 shop truck build
yup everything, maybe not paint, because i dont have a booth, and for what i would pay for a gun my dads buddy would paint it, and he is one of the best custom painters around.

Re: 68 shop truck build
Nice project you have going. Yep. I have had good luck with Por-15. Just get some and follow the instructions and it will explain how much you need to do before you apply. I think it will save you alot of work you just need to clean the area. Good luck

Re: 68 shop truck build
Got my dropmember in. Which was way easier than i expected. still have to press in the lower ball joints tomorrow. and my bags should be in tomorrow too.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the notch cut outs arent perfect. pass. side is a bit too high like 1/16-1/8 at most. Last edited by mike14_07; 03-21-2010 at 06:28 PM. |
