Well, Two weeks ago I had a bit of an uh oh while at the Nats in Maggie Valley. We don't like to drag our feet around here so we got right on the repair.

In an effort to reduce the cost of the bill at the body shop I pulled all the trim off the fender as well as the inner fender. Then I figured if I was going to pull that inner I might as well pull the other and sling some paint to em. Well then we decided that the inside of the outers needed some touch up as well so they got some new color as well. Of course this snowballed in to the core support and the bottom side of the hood getting blacked as well.

Laying the color to it.

The hood hinges were also blasted and sprayed.

Man! He's fast!!!

Core support get's blacked.

Hood gets some help.

Lookin better.

Hmm,

Coming back together.

Better?

**clay68c10** · 05-19-2008, 07:43 AM

Looks great! It's amazing what a difference a little extra work makes. I always try to paint anything I take apart or replace before it gets put back together.

see ten · 05-19-2008, 08:50 AM

Looks like a truck again!

Break time!!

I've still got mixed emotions about the use of so much gloss paint under the hood...........But I guess it's not that bad.

Check out that reflection in the hood in this super crapola pic!

Ready for cruisin again and only missed one weekend of being on the road!

I couldn't stand to let it just sit after all of that work so I headed over to the Tit stop for some gas and headed towards Canton.

**special-K** · 05-19-2008, 02:00 PM

Looking good.No moss growing under your feet.I need to move to your area.Up here we have to set aside time for going to those kind of places.It sure would be nice to combine with gettin`gas.Seems so effecient.Do you tip at the pump?

LONGHAIR · 05-19-2008, 02:48 PM

He points out the "under hood reflection"....The only one I saw was next to the marker light in the first pic.

Ok, everybody scroll up and see it now........LOL

Botietruck · 05-19-2008, 02:55 PM

Looks good. And thanks for the front view shot of the radiator support. It shows exactly what I was looking for a couple weeks ago...the condensor lines. The truck looks good! Keep those weekend pics coming.

JayDubBlazer · 05-19-2008, 03:14 PM

looks great, the black underside of the hood looks awesome

see ten · 05-19-2008, 04:04 PM

Big props go out to Brian (71see10) and Billy as well as Tim Christian for bustin rump and helpin me get er back on the road so quick. I'd give a big shout out to the body shop (that was awesome) but for what I got charged, they can take care of themselves!

They were worth all they charged.......but it hurt!

umwtnt · 05-19-2008, 04:37 PM

Looks good! But, the question remains, do any of us know how to keep a small job from snowballin?

chrislehr · 05-19-2008, 04:41 PM

Now get that passenger rotor turned, I can see the groove from here.

c10crazy · 05-19-2008, 07:44 PM

Wow, great job! I love your truck! I didn't realize that professional body shops used newspaper for masking. I always thought they used heavy paper?

Isn't that the second time we've seen a reflection like that in his pics?? I seem to remember another one... Maybe it was taken outside the "tit stop" the week before LOL

Nice work gettin her fixed so quick. Always love seein your pics and adventures!

PanelDeland · 05-19-2008, 08:37 PM

See Ten after you told me you weren't about having all the underhood showy.Does look good.

neatoldstuff · 05-19-2008, 10:01 PM

Great job Asa. Good to see you back on your feet, er back on the road! Truck looks great!!

**72 Super** · 05-19-2008, 11:04 PM

Great job on the repair and the fresh paint in the under the hood makes all the difference as well.

lookin good!

That wasn't the professional shop, that was us worthless hoodlums workin in the garage!

Newspaper is what we had so it's what we used.

And no, we don't know how to keep a job from snowballin.

Deland, Christy did fuss at me a bit for spending all week working to get it lookin better under the hood and then still not opening it while we were at the Canton cruise. I just can't do it....They just flow better with the hood down. I did open it and show 72freak what we had done as well as another one of my buds that happened to be there (and then immediately closed it again

)

Thanks for the props guys!

**Palf70Step** · 05-20-2008, 05:36 AM

Looks GREAT Asa! Glad she is back rolling again.

see ten · 05-20-2008, 06:09 AM

Both rotors have looked like that for as long as I've had the truck. It looks like they came that way. Weather they did or not is another story but she stops fine and doesn't shimmy or dart.....So I'm not messing with it!

68Stepbed · 05-20-2008, 03:03 PM

My rotors have the same groove. When I took them off the donor truck and saw that groove, I said "Crap I'm gonna have to buy new rotors". But then I took the other one off and it looked the same.

Looking Good, Asa. I'll get a closer look at it this weekend in Rogersville.

NuBomb · 05-20-2008, 03:32 PM

Great Job Asa and fellers. I forgot all about the Sat. night cruise right down the road from me. I'll try to make the next one. Looking great.

**Yukon Jack** · 05-20-2008, 10:08 PM

Nothing wrong with that rotor - just the way some of them are. The ones on a 78 3/4 ton front axle I'm using in my 70 K5 also have that groove.
