Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
So I was board and thought I would go back and see were it all started. Just under 1yr ago this project started as a tow home non running long bed in need of help. The build has stayed close to teh intended starting point that I had with a few extra items added. But all in all I feel it has gone well for under 1 year to the point of being half way done with paint and having been tested for over 5,000 miles to date. Also keep in mind I have had 3 different customer builds with a few few day projects as well mixed in. Then their is my son that came on 7-9-7 and has been a big part of any free time I thought I might have but because I married up ( a car chic

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well not much progress in the last several days as I have been tacking care of my son and oh ya had to go to work as well. Mom's been working 12-14 hr days to finish up a new software package for the state so time is at a loss this week. My sons doing good and Mom is getting a raise/promotion today so all is well. What I did get done this week was drilling all the holes for the SS trim on the front fenders and doors. I also played around a bit with color sanding a few areas of the wordt orange peel just to see what I was looking at and boy did it knock down quick. I just hit some spots with 1200 for a test but I was very happy with the results and tonight and this week end I will color sand all of the doors/fenders with 1500 and finish with 2000 before polishing to a mirror like shine

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Well it is not much but they are pic's! Started doing a bit of color sanding today before we take off for the inlaws for the night. I started with 1000, 1200,1500 and finished off with 2000 then rubbed and polished by hand. My polisher that I ordered might be in but I left my cell phone in my tool bags on the job site friday so I have no way for the guy to get a hold of me to let me know if it is in or not

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I am really starting to like painting. But I think I like color sanding and polishing even more. I have not done much of it but their is just somthing about taking a flat panel with a few flaws (or alot of flaws with my doors and fenders) and color sanding them down to almost perfection.
I spent some time today getting my gun dialed in better before I started painting on this group of parts and it sure paid off. I was so tired when I was painting the doors and fenders I forgot to adjust the air psi and do a spray out before I started spraying ![]() ![]() Here are some of todays pics, I am very happy with how these came out for being shot in a garage. When I put the second story on the shop this summer I will have a vent system for dust control and fresh air ducted to the roof but for now I will just color sand any little nibs out that I have to. These pieces came out so good I can not wait to see them after polishing! Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
One more pic of the hood reflection for fun. Notice everything in the pic is in reverse! If I color sand and polish this hood I might go blind on those dump runs if the sun is out

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
More pic's, sorry but I am just really excited that I have not screwed somthing up yet!
![]() I got the cab corners cut and polished tonight before I pushed the truck back in the shop. Now I think my big polisher should be here Tuesday or so then I can get the doors polished, trim installed and hung and same for the fenders. But first I need to paint the core suport and hood hindges as well as the door strikes. I went with 3M's products for polishing and spent about $200 in supplies for the whole truck.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Even though it hasn't been fully buffed out yet it looks just like it has been absolutely dipped in paint! This is really gonna be a nice ride.
Be carefull as you might be the one driving the Trailblazer everyday while the wife drives this. ![]()
