Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
then I had to do something different so I decided to start wire wheeling the door hinges

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Man I just can't tell if these eBay special dust shields are coated with something or just raw, so I think I need to powder coat them, I highly doubt they be chrome

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
what the H, this is the only piece that has failed me so far, and I cleaned it with the same Wax n Grease remover before powderizing it like it's twin and all the other pieces I done did already, and I tried powder coating it twice already too and it still failed, again
