Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started metal work on my hood. Would like to buy the replacement pieces but unfortunately my finances won't allow it so I am making the pieces I need and doing the best I can. It's a slow process but I will get there eventually.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Washed, polished, and hung out at the Woodland Hills, CA car show hang out....Jay Leno came by with an amazing "Tank" car.....had a 12 cylinder Patton tank engine diesel in it....very cool. Came home and took out an intake manifold bolt that had been leaking some oil and re-sealed the bolt and is currently setting over night....hope that seals that nasty oil leaker....just enough oil to smell when you are cruising....don't you hate that? Now she's resting nicely under the cover

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got a big pile of parts back from the blaster tonight:
  I didn't want to unwrap them all but had to peek:  My buddy did an incredible job! He did all 4 control arms, front coils, front backing plates and crossmember. Total cost: FREE! Tomorrow night is a marathon painting session so they don't flash rust. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Depending on your humidity in your region, get some coating on them quickly. In the gulf south, you can sit down and actually watch them start to rust.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
They are wrapped and it should slow it down enough until tomorrow night.
Makes me wish I would have spent $90K on the blasting setup his company has instead of a house! LOL! Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
We finally got some paint on the dash today. The rest of the interior is painted as well. One step at a time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
The suspension parts are going to be silver and hammered black.
Got all the silver parts done tonight. Here are a couple pics of some of them:   Tomorrow night my son and I will paint the hammered parts. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Looks awesome! What kind of clear are you using? Being in Los angeles, we have to spray water based paints, and I used a new PPG water based clear...$375 per gallon....used 1 1/4 gallons for the fleetside 65 c20.....I still have most of the 2nd gallon left!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Haven't posted in awhile. I have recently put steering wheel, intermediate shaft in. Put seat back in. Installed new front and back glass.
Also, took her around the block for 1st ride since I started tearing down over a year ago!!! Smiled from ear to ear!! Still got along way to go. Here are a few pictures: [IMG]  [/IMG] [IMG]  [/IMG][IMG]  [/IMG]
