Guess what though? Since I haven't picked up the vacum line from John yet my defroster wasn't working and I couldn't see for squat on the way home last night and coming into blanchard some jerkoff had his lights on bright and I couldn't see anything!! Some fog on the window and the glossy wet streets combined with my old headlights and I hit a freakin curb at like 50mph. It was that spot as your coming into town where it splits into 2 lanes and the right lane turns right. I could only make out the white line at the side of the road so I was trying to follow that and I didn't see that triangle shaped concrete section out in the road until the last minute. I tried to swerve left but I still hammered it with both rightside tires.

I can't tell that it hurt anything yet but I will have to look it over later.

So I guess I'll be seeing you soon for the vacuum line?

*highperf4x4* · 04-19-2010, 01:16 PM

I reckon so.

*highperf4x4* · 04-22-2010, 12:24 AM

Todays work.

I decided to start in on the rest of the front clip. Neil's harassing me about not getting anything done!!!

I ground off the rest of the trim clips

Got most of the fender sanded.

Then I broke my 20.00 freakin sander! I'm so ticked............. well I'm 20.00 ticked anyway!!

Finished sanding by hand and masked it off.

Primer and wet sand.

Sealer

Done.......... for now anyway. I have a couple of small dings to go back and fix but I'm trying to get the majority of the work done first so it's not down so long.

*highperf4x4* · 04-22-2010, 12:28 AM

Just out of curiosity, why does my sealer look glossy?

**wancosc356** · 04-22-2010, 12:32 AM

Finally! Some progress! Haha. Looking good man. Are you gonna shave the front trim holes too?

*highperf4x4* · 04-22-2010, 12:38 AM

No everything will go back on eventually. It will end up 2tone green and white again with the cheyenne trim and a different fender badge (I want one that says GMC 402). Once I get as much body work done as I can I'm going to paint it solid green to make it look a little better and then hit the rockers and corners one at a time. Once that is all done I'll shoot the white and put the trim back. It will take a while.

jojo · 04-22-2010, 12:52 AM

Looks good!

you got a gun or taking it somewhere?

*beechd18* · 04-22-2010, 12:52 AM

Yeah I have an HVLP. You can see it mounted on the side of the bed in one of the pics but I'll probably take it out to Neils to shoot it in his new shop!!

He's in the planning stage.

*highperf4x4* · 04-22-2010, 10:19 PM

I fixed my sander with another cheap part so I'll see if I can get the other fender done tomorrow.

I'm also going to do an HEI swap and see if I can clean the engine bay.

Thanks brother! I like the 4lighters too!

*highperf4x4* · 04-23-2010, 01:01 AM

I pulled the cover off the rearend to look things over after hearing some clanging noise lately. I found a shim that had slid out almost to the cover. I don't know what that means but I'm sure it isn't cosher.

If you're going to do it right then go with the good stuff. Mobil 1 !!!!
