That's gonna look good with them wheels!

JRANGER · 12-09-2012, 12:37 AM

Well gonna try to install the new stereo before wrestling practice tomorrow morning....Probably all I will get accomplished though

JRANGER · 12-09-2012, 02:34 PM

Well internet is out so no pics but I managed to get the cd player installed..

I have a problwm though.....The windshield is leaking in the drivers side corner and into the cab...its a brand new windshield and gaske..... Do I need to put sealant under the gasket to fix this or is that a bad idea?

First pick is a comparison of before and after 320 grit sandning

The Cab bands have been sanded with 320 grit, then 1000 grit to brighten them up.

Then I painted the black stripes red...Painted the red in the logo and made the GMC black....

Would you do just the corner where it leaks or around the whole window?

cubber · 12-10-2012, 01:04 AM

I would start with the problem area. That will most likely be the end of it.
