Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Man I thought I gave it all I had it took 4 years and a lot of cash to build it for approx 3 miles . Maybe if I offer my nasty looking neighbor, her stupid kid ,and her ugly mutt of a dog they will smile at me again!!!!

![]() I used to build my own motors for years then chevy got better at it then I did so not I just let them build mine. The LT1 in this truck is stock except for teh computer and headers and it puts out around 360+ right now before a dyno tune. My next project will get a stock 6.0 with some turbo help to get over 600+ easy for a mild street motor and still get good milage to boot. I just can not justify building them any more when their are so many other good options out thier for cheap that will go 100,000 plus with out a second thought. Kevin LFD Inc. |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Kevin,... Did you drill all the trim holes when the truck was assembled? I thought it would be tough to get them all "line up" if you did each panel seperate. What's your secret?

Here are a few pics from tonight, everything still needs to be adjusted including the light. So far so good, I love the strait reflection between teh door fender and cab corner. I have a few spots that I might hit again with 2500 grit and the polisher but then again I might just drive the cr@p out of it. I have Monday off but I am gone this week end for my wife's B-day so I hope to get the front all back together and adjusted Monday.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
i've been quiet long enough...
you, sir, inspire many of us to attempt things that are out of our skill range. you should be ashamed. ...ok. maybe not. but you do make me think, "hey, that looks easy...i could do that!". which isn't always the case. but, to repeat what everyone else is saying. amazing work. and that cut and buff stuff is pretty slick, man. ![]() -Sam.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Leaving the floor wet while you paint helps catch alot of dust too.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Kevin don't forget when you are cleaning up preparing for paint work to allow time for dust to settle. Considering that you are always on warp drive sometimes it's hard to factor that in.
While you are cleaning, sweeping, and wiping down dust becomes airborn. It takes a while for the lighter stuff to settle. If you don't factor that in it will settle while you are painting as the vapors from the paint attach to the dust particle and make it heavy. Yeah, I know you might have thought of this. I just thought a reminder from a guy that has seen some awesome "driveway" paint jobs done with proper preparation.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I'm like you, color sanding and buffing makes it look even more purtier. Paint looks Awesome, keep the pics coming.

I forgot to add when I spray the floor down I use a hudson sprayer with some dish soap mixed in. This helps lock the dust down as it dries. I am working on the vent/ fresh air system before the next paint job. I have a 40 chevy truck lined up after Trazer is finished and then today I had a guy contact me about a 67 chevelle SS and a 39 ford as well for paint so my set up will be getting much better very soon.

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
A bit more progress for the day. I hope to have teh cab forward finished Monday and drivable again. Hood is all polished and ready to go on as soon as a friend stops by for a hand. Then front bumper will go on and I will pull it out of the shop and start cleaning things up to get ready to finish up Trazer.
