Re: My new project 86 Silverado
I saw hung out with two guys this weekend that have the same color scheme as your original color, you should think about going back to those colors. One looked killer with new paint....glad you are getting it together..

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
All is well I'd say, Can't complain. Hope all is well for you also. Weather here in east Texas hasnt been so great but its getting better and it held off long enough for me to drop my trans, again.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Torque converter was bad, and trans was slipping clutch material in fluid, was gonna have it souped up anyways. Sounds like that motor is going to be fun!

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Awesome build so far! Keep up the progress. Just my 2 cents on the paint. I saw that someone told you to paint over 300 grit. In my experience in collision work and custom paint work, you can paint solid colors over 320 w/ no problems but can sometimes show sand swirls w/ metallics. We've always done final sanding w/ 400 grit or higher and metallics always lay in smooth. Can't wait to see this beast complete.
Also, thank you for your service sir.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Awesome. I may have misread the previous post. It was only like 15 pages ago lol. 600 is even better. Guaranteed smooth.

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Are you going base coat clear...if so all you need to sand down to is 400. Use 400 wet....
