Re: Project NOT4SLE

So, disassembling my truck ended up taking longer then anticipated. Everything was SUPER dirty, and baked on nastiness.

Not to mention I came home on Friday and found a box for me in the garage!!!

I quickly assembled it and spent the weekend trying to get everything back in shape.





I bead blasted my control arms, found out grinding the grease off first really speeds things up on getting them to bare metal





I bought some silver caliper paint and painted my calipers after cleaning them off a bit. They will at least look a bit better till I get some nice disc brakes...





Tomorrow I am going to try and get the control arms powder coated and get her all back together by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Re: Project NOT4SLE

Did you get that at Harbor Frieght? I saw one just like it the other day. How does your compressor hold up with it?
