Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Hi, I have 2 sets of spears and 2 hood emblems. They're in fair shape~ actually I haven't paid much attention to them. Seems like they didn't line up with the holes on my truck. I'll look at them again tomorrow.

IF you put on the emblems may I suggest you get them re-chromed? The paint is too nice to install pecky, dull chrome. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

I removed all the interior of my truck and am now preping everything for sand blasting.

Wow, I want to know what trash you where digging through, can you point me in that direction. Nice find, just run it through a English wheel and it will change what that brail says.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Brought the Oil Pan, Valve Cover, and Spark plug side to the car wash and cleaned all the gunk off. Then I hit em with the wire wheel and degreased them. Used a roll of paper towels with some marine clean 5 to 1. Hit them with Prep and ready and them primed and painted. I bough the paint from the filling station as a chevy engine grey but am not liking it. Could someone recommend where to purchase the chevy engine grey blue so I can finish in that color?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I finished installing all my control arm bushings and ball joints. I shined everything up with knotted wire cups, wiped it all down with lacquer thinner. Then I hung everything up and hit it with 2 coats of primer then 2 coats of black. Hope it's dry enough in the morning that I can get the front end back together.
I didn’t paint the spindles because I’m planning to do 2 inch drop spindles in the future. I just want to be able to role this thing out so I can get to work on the engine and tranny clean up and repaint. This is only my second time painting. I'm using a Harbor Freight HVLP gun. I have to say that I have had good luck with this gun. Of course the undercarriage is a little less critical. But I have had no issues with runs or anything else. Good even coverage throughout.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I just used Rustoleum Professional this time around. I did the frame itself with epoxy primr and some chassis black, but money is tight right now so I went a little cheaper.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I worked on the gas door while grandson helped his Mom prep the Mustang intake manifold for paint. Chevelle was just in the way... Got a fancy fire resistant/leather welding jacket while at the welding store for some wire.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Picked up the truck after having new king pins installed. Fitted a new brake pedal spring and stamped an engine number into the block. Weigh ticket and passenger mirror then hopefully licensed after my re inspection on Tuesday.
