Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
I have to admit the faux-tina looks pretty darn good. Overall the truck looks outstanding IMHO. I've said it before and will say it again, you really know how to ruin a perfectly good C10, keep ruining it.

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Played around with weathering the bed wood a little today. Used a combination of vinegar, baking soda, water, wire brushes, sandpaper, muriatic acid, and whatever else was laying around. It took the yellow-ness out, but didn't give the effect I'm shooting for, so I'll have to get more serious with it
![]() Before and 'after' of the bed- more to come:

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
if it is nicked and scratched up a bit, you could always apply a coat of leather dye, then wipe off the extra, it will only fill the cracks and scratches and make it look like pushed in dirt and wear lines. just an idea

Re: How to: Ruin a perfectly good C10
Thanks- I do plan to beat it up some. I'm trying (unsuccessfully thus far) to get it to grey before doing the dings. Not an easy task with pine, but I have a few more ideas to try before staining it...

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.
