Re: The wifes truck
Yes Im planning on power washing then sanding the frame and will paint it as well..I had planned on doing that before I changed brakes and tires....but I wanted to see the wheels on so I changed course a little..still havent primed the cab yet have almost all of it sanded I dont seem to follow my plan very well but hey when something is frustrating me then I go to something different to regroup. I have already primed my doors my buddy was happy to point out that I had missed some dents and imperfections in the bed so I had to postpone priming it...nothing very seamless on this truck even with new metal...

Re: The wifes truck
