Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Didn't touch it, but spent a bunch of money on it today. Front end rebuild kit, cam and lifters, and a set of headers. About to order epoxy primer. Been over 100 degrees here for more than a week. Hard to get motivated to run that sandblaster after a days work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I got the carpet installed in the back of my Panel. First 1/2 inch padding, when thin low pile carpet. Really happy with how it turned out!

I then used their black topcoat, which went on much thicker, and did, in some cases, leave brush strokes. Put down plastic over anything you don't want black spots on, and wear gloves/long sleeves. This is tough stuff, but hoping it'll make my frame pretty much rust-proof. Your frame and suspension won't be exposed to UV very much, but I still recommend the top coat. Here is a shot of what the finished frame with POR 15 and their top coat looks like: ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I am not the poster of the pics but I know those are made by Speedhut.com They custom build your gauges when you order them. You can specify all types of items, like font, lighting color, bezel style, etc. I have used them for a couple projects and love them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Hey sorry I missed this post. The poster above is right, they are from Speedhut. They were running a 10% off sale in May so I built them using their configurator.
They will glow blue at night, but only the numbers and lines, so they'll look more like modern gauges rather than my old set of autometer that lit the entire gauge. You can get them in a bunch of different styles, colors, fonts, lighting colors, etc. A lot of customization is possible. I got a GPS-driven Speedo, so no worrying about transmission gearing or hookups which will be nice. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Clean drips on your skin with acetone before it dries. Works pretty good. Plan to throw the brush away. I would not roll it. Spread it thin.
