Re: My new project 86 Silverado
Awesome build! Question, hopefully not a dumb one, why wash it with tide before wet sanding?

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
the truck sat up for 6 months, had green mildew/mold all over, so I washed it down with tide, then wet sanded, washed again... just wanted any and all dirt/grime build up gone

Re: My new project 86 Silverado
pulled out the truck, sanded and cleaned the front and rear window areas where the seal goes, getting ready for the glass to be put in so it will be dried in. have the driver door on the sawhorses to sand to bare metal to be primed. headed to broke mans paradise(HF) to get pressure washer to clean up any pollen, trash etc. from sitting outside over the winter, and engine hoist to put the engine/transmission together and get them in. will post pics probably tomorrow or next day.hope all you guys are taking advantage of spring and getting your projects worked on, hope all is well!!
