Re: My 86 build
i really like your dash bezel. The black with the chrome trim around the guage holes looks alot better than the 'flat silver' overlay... Is that an LMC piece?

Re: My 86 build
Are the one from rock auto, etc. pretty close?
I've even seen some on ebay for 50 bux. They good for driver quality? My budget doesn't allow for a 500 or even a 150 dollar grille. thanks! Sorry to hijack D!

Re: My 86 build
Ok thanks. I would like to do a build thread if I ever get time. This was my dads truck and is now my daughters, trying to teach her about about them.

Re: My 86 build
Worked on one of those small details, the ashtray. I don't smoke nor use the ashtray, but I wanted it to look nice. A NOS ashtray, 1) are hard to find 2) too much money.
So after seeing what another member did with his, I tried it on mine and an extra ashtray I had. Brushed them down with a wire brush, then cleaned with brake cleaner and then soap & water. I then sprayed them down with prep cleaner. Hit them a few times with DupliColor Stainless Steel paint.

Re: My 86 build
That turned out excellent TKCR. Nice clean look on a part that most people skip over.

Re: My 86 build
Thanks. One came out better than the other. One had something on it, that just wouldn't come off. That's probably were a media blaster does help. But once it's back in it's spot inside the flip tray, you really only see the very front edge of the ashtray. So I can live with the results of the before & after.

Re: My 86 build
TKCR,
I also just purchased a new sound system like yours, and the black knobs are cheap. Do you remember what type and year of car/truck your knobs came from that will fit? They look a 1000 times better. Thanks, Paul |

I did run across a website that sells those same radios and you can customize the face and knobs. I wished I would have found this place before I had gotten my radio from LMC. But I'm happy with the way it turned out. https://www.retromanufacturing.com/c...k-series-truck You can just order the knobs from them also: https://www.retromanufacturing.com/c...lacement-parts And from LMC too. I don't believe this was available back when I purchased my radio from them: http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cc/full.aspx?Page=93

Re: My 86 build
I got the 2 center pieces for a grille like that. They were on the 86 grille in my 84. I used the bowtie. If you need them give PM me. I put a 84 back in mine. Got the head light bezels to, but I used the center trim that was on them.

Re: My 86 build
Not doing much on Big Red, just still waiting on funds to get the hood painted. In the mean time, I got a Blaster Cabinet for Christmas, so I've been re-arranging the garage this weekend.
It's sitting on the generator right now, but if I ever need it, I'm screwed. The weight would be too much to move after the media gets added. So I ordered a Gladiator Adjustable table, the generator can sit under the table and then the Blaster on the table. It's rated for 3000 lbs!!! I have Gladiator Cabinets now, so it will fit right in. The air compressor was right beside the blaster, but to accommodate the table it had to move to between the garage doors. I'll just have to run the air hose over when I use the blaster. I'm still waiting on the filter and then I went ahead and ordered the other types of inline dryer/filters. Going to try a couple of different ones, since they are disposable, I'll see which works the best. So it's going to be another week or so, before I get to play with the blaster, lol. As you can see, Big Red is all covered and tucked in, safe & warm. Winter sucks!!!

Re: My 86 build
Really wasn't much to assemble, it comes exactly as you see it sitting there. I just need to attach the vacuum hose, air lines and add the sand.

Re: My 86 build
I built one 4 ft by 3 ft I think. Can't remember exactly. I don't see how I done without one. Best thing I ever built. It's nice to blast parts and primer instead of sand, wire brush, and tear your fingers off trying to make something purdy. Wish I had one a bed side would fit in, lol.

Re: My 86 build
Set up nice, you make good use of your space. I make good use of mine, I have a 40 chev coupe project, setting idle right now, my 72 chevelle stays inside, and my truck is moved in and out when I have to work on anybody elses junk. I've got parts put away I'll never find. Come up and arrange mine when you get time.
