Re: Project Vitamin C-10
For those that don't know, when you run power steering the left front bumper bracket has to be modified. I have to repaint now.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
WHAT ?!?!?!?
You mean I am going to have to cut and modify stuff to make it fit or work?? Nobody told me this! Well that seals it, I quit.... Just kidding. I really love all the pics you take, they help immensely when I am try to figure out how I am going to tackle a part or mod. I have to stop and remind myself to take a photo of something when I get started on it, remembering to take the "after" shots is easy ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
hey alan, just a quick question about sanding clearcoat. can you block the clear or do you just need to use your hand, i was told if you used a block it would leave drag marks.

I wish I was this detailed about taking pics when i first started. If you look back the tear down didn't have many pics. The camera is like my cell phone, I don't leave home without it. I know my pnone has a camera, but no flash. Quote:

Here's another problem I think I mentioned before that needs to be fixed. The right rail on the front of my truck looked like it was OK when I removed the original bumper. Well my test bumper will not bolt up. I can get the bottom bolt in, but not the top. There is a bump in the bottom of the rail that is bringing the bumper down. I will bring my porto- power home and see if I can make it better. I'm not using this bumper since I'm going chrome. Once done I can weld the crack that I missed and paint the front section of the rail again.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
No way, you need to keep the 57 also. 2K is a great find for that low milage 86.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
Alan, is the bumper fit close enough that you can slot the holes?? My first thought as they will be covered with the bumper installed.

![]() Got a few things marked off the list. The main thing is I got all the grounds made a installed. The cab, engine, and bed are grounded to the frame. I didn't scrape the paint around the holes. I used lock washers to bite into the metal. It might be an issue later with corrosion. If so I'll use plan B. I used a ohm meter and all points had .5 ohms. i say it is good for now.

![]() Something else I started today. I didn't like the way the wires were coming thru the floor. It needed a grommet for protection. I found this rubber piece on a used door at work and thought it would come in handy. I cut one end off and split it. I should have installed it prior to running wires. ![]()

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
We got a new toy at work. I wish we had it when I was doing the metal work on my cab. I can almost duplicate a factory spot weld. Don't rush out and buy one. They are pricey and this one requires 3 phase power. ;(
Hey Ronnie, you need one of these.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
![]() Had a pretty bad set back today as far as the truck goes. Remeber my hood? Well, it's not in as good of condition as before. This company blasted my last hood and did a great job. So I trusted that it would repeat. I had all the paint sanded off the top except around the turn signals. I removed the hood bows and reinstalled the bows by a few threads. I told the guy that I did so and for him to remove them prior to sand blasting. After seeing what happens to a 67 hood when sand blasted incorrectly, I didn't want mine that way. The guy commented on how clean it was and it wouldn't take much to do the job. He also said he had never seen one without any rust. I told him it was from California. To make a long story short, he didn't remove the bows and now I have 2 nice ridges running down my hood where the bows were. I called the lady that owns the place to give her a heads up. She didn't get defensive, but the guy that blasted it wasn't there. I told her I would prime it and see how it really looks. Then I would call her back. I also told her that these are not reproduced and this one was from California. It just pisses me off that I did everything in my power to inform the guy, and this happens. In hind sight I should have kept the bows and blasted them in my cabinet like I did today. I sprayed some DP90 epoxy primer on it hopeing to get a good reflection. It was hard to get the right light for the camera. The wife suggested that they reblast it without the bows and maybe the metal will go back into shape. It sounds plausable. In the last pic you can see the ridges about 12' from the center rib. I don't know what to tell these people that blasted it. I hate to complain, but due to the circumstances of what I went thru to get a nice hood..........I speeceless. What do y'all suggest I do?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
That really sucks Alan, sorry to hear this. I agree with the wife. With your rep in the area they should make it right. As much work and sweat as you got into this don't settle.
