Re: Restoring Rusty
Hi everyone I have been enjoying driving Rusty to work all week, truck runs great. The first thing I’ll be doing is restoring the wood grain piece of trim on the dash. I’ll show you guys how it comes out, maybe some of ya will want to get yours restored as well.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hey Juan, welcome! Thanks for joining up and it's great that you're posting already. I look forward to seeing your restoration of the wood grain. Are you a painter by profession?

Re: Restoring Rusty
I redid the woodgrain on the piece of trim, but I rushed it and the clear coat shrunk the base coat under the stain... I am re doing it but with this weather I am having to wait days in between coats.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I hate when that happens. It did look good though. Do you think you can just sand the clear and respray?

Re: Restoring Rusty
I thought about putting a supercharger or turbo kit on the 4.8, but both kits cost more than a ls2 from a tbss with a t56 set up set up from a local junk yard, so it looks like I may be going that route instead

Re: Restoring Rusty
With paint work coming what color are you thinking? Staying with lime green or another color.

Re: Restoring Rusty
What's going on with Rusty? I've been offline for a while and don't see any updates since late last year.

Hi everyone, it’s been a long year, sorry I haven’t updated y’all on Rusty. Rusty has not been kicked to the curb, I am in the process of getting body work and paint done. It has been at the shop for about 5 months now

Re: Restoring Rusty
Wow, he naked!
you can use a free product called IrfanView to rotate and save your pics prior to posting to ensure they turn out up right, it sucks that we have to do that but that's the iPhone world these days |
