Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I've looked several times for info on this but it's tough to choose one method over another w/o trying it first..... and there's a bunch of them. Good luck!

Little bit o' progress in the way of blackening the grill lettering. Looks complete now. I realized recently that when I got this truck, it didn't actually have the word 'Chevrolet' on it anywhere... ![]()

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I wonder if UV lights would have any affect on the unfinished wood, would it turn grey under the light??
also check this link out, maybe it can help with turning it grey http://www.routerforums.com/finishin...-barnwood.html ![]() |

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
This sounds like what happens to an undisclosed part of the male anatomy when the 'wedding bliss' wears off to the point of her getting a divorce lawyer. Hopefully you meant 'wedding' since you were w/your BTB.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Man every time I look at your build it makes me want to get motivated. You moved so fast on this truck I'm embarrassed of how slow I am. I've been milking mine for almost years now......ouch
can't wait for the pictures! Congratulations!
