Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
It's been a while, out of town for few months, but wife told me to go for it. Happy birthday to me. I can't wait to get this installed. Oh, and while Ive been gone my plates showed up, it's legal after 2.5 years. Boom.

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
That's an upgrade that I've got on my wish list. Should make for some more "spirited" driving.

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Interested in how this performs. I have a stock posi in my 72 Blazer and have never had one before. My 2014 has a G80 locker with 3.42 gears and is a blast to drive. I know the G80 is a ticking bomb but for now is fun. This may be in my Christmas wish list.

Sweet plates brother. Did you get the Detroit locker installed yet? I can't wait to get a ride in this truck!

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
So I've drove the truck in rain couple times now. And rust starting to come through inside cowl. I was not able to get in there good enough with wire wheel and get it cleaned out obviously. This was 2 years ago and didn't know what I was doing. I have no idea what I can do to fix this without starting over, getting in there cleaning it out then repainting.... Any ideas? Do I even worry about it since it's in the cowl? Will it last 5-7 years?

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Decided to finish paint, front half of truck was different shade due to me learning the painting process(too high PSI). Bed color is what I am matching. Bed done at 12 PSI. Front half was various PSI on different panels and also a mix of gun speed trying to figure it out. Yeah.... I know....

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Not good painting weather. Humidity this high will cause a possible 'splotchy' appearance.

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
I, like you, learned the hard way spraying. I painted my dad's 64 a blue metallic and I have the same matching issue between panels. He doesn't seem to mind, but it bothers me. Someday I want to reshoot it...
As far as the cowl goes, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. What I would do is scuff it and brush on some Chassis Saver (can go over rust) to lock down the rust. The ideal process would be to strip it of the paint and rust and go over with epoxy primer, but that's more involved than the first option. Glad you've been driving it!

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
From my limited experience & what I learned in school... Your panels should always be 'set-up' for applying color coat the same way they would be positioned on the vehicle; especially w/metallics or a pearl color.

Re: TA_C10: Stage 1
Ready for paint! I need to finish hood to 600 grit tomorrow, already painted underneath. Install the hood, wipe her clean and start spraying.
