And so it begins................ - Page 11 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yeah I saw that hotrod article and I checked out the car they painted with the rollers. It looked really sharp in the pictures and they had a total bill of 99.00

I actually have an HVLP gun I'm using on the outside of the truck and regular automotive primer/paint. I'm learning as I go though. I need Scott to school me a little bit!

However, the blower box under my dash is plastic and I'm just gonna find some spraypaint to hit it with. JohnC hooked me up with some Krylon Fusion. I'm gonna try that first.

What tire sizes are you running?

*highperf4x4* · 06-14-2009, 11:59 PM

Wheels are Cragar Nomad 2's
Tires are Cooper Cobras

Fronts are 255/60/15 on 15x8
Rears are 295/50/15 on 15x10

You ever get tired of aswering that qeustion?

*highperf4x4* · 06-15-2009, 12:15 AM

I know is that 4 times?

That's the trouble with a long thread though.

JohnC · 06-15-2009, 07:52 AM

Maybe you should just put it in your signature!

*TheSebring* · 06-15-2009, 12:49 PM

He'd be answering that question a lot more if he'd listened to his son and gotten a taller set than that.

*highperf4x4* · 06-15-2009, 01:24 PM

No, that's what I thought at first but that's because I keep going taller and taller on the 4x4. However, the size of these tires on the 72 are really starting to grow on me. I think I may leave them like they are.

See Johnathon! I practice what I preach...............

In the street, after dark, with a flashlight. We'll see what it looks like in the morning!

SOMEBODY STOP ME!!!

*TheSebring* · 06-28-2009, 11:34 PM

He got this 72 and went to town on working on it. Back when he had the Satellite, it just sat for 6 years for me to eventually mess with. Funny.

*highperf4x4* · 06-28-2009, 11:40 PM

I did the same thing when I got the Satellite. I made it better.

Before

After

Like I said, now it's your turn. At least I didn't destroy the A/C right off the bat eh young grasshopper?

And just for the record.......... I believe it's been "I" who's been "messing" with it. Before I gave it to you (and I emphasize the GAVE part) ........I didn't have to spend my weekends and evenings working on it!!!!

SufferInTruth · 06-28-2009, 11:54 PM

I didn't want to say it, but SWEET mullet lol!

*highperf4x4* · 06-29-2009, 12:03 AM

Yeah? Well here's a couple more shots then!

Actually I cut it off about 6 years ago. Hey, that's about the time I quit working on the Satellite Blake!! Now I know how Sampson felt.....

I'm gonna do a drive by service. Pull up in the street, roll your windows up, and I'll shoot the paint on. After dark only and no refunds!!

joe231 · 06-29-2009, 12:37 AM

cool, make mine black

*highperf4x4* · 06-29-2009, 12:43 AM

Are you really gonna paint it black? You'll have to gut the inside too then.

Ok, so when you drive up, leave the windows down, open the doors and take out the 5 gallon bucket you were sitting on.
