Re: 1960 Apache K10 build
I decided to paint up the 6.0, just to see how it'd look all cleaned up.
agian...I was questioning my life choices not having an engine hoist for this...I thought I was going to drop an O-ring getting it into my truck, and I dont mean an O-ring in the motor ha ha. I took it to the folks farm, where we have a blaster. I gave it a quick soda blast to clean off all the old paint and rust. I followed that with two coats of duplicolor engine primer, followed by the duplicolor chevy orange engine enamel. I think it turned out pretty good! The paint was definitely soft for a day or two, but has since hardened up a ton. I think I nearly killed my poor neighbor when he helped me lift it out of my truck and into my garage when I got home. Lesson learned...I bought an engine hoist.
