Drew, I can't blame you for being a perfectionist. I would be too because this is a super nice truck! It's looking great!

mcbassin · 07-31-2011, 01:21 PM

Nice work as always Drew! Keep the updates coming.

doc70sub · 07-31-2011, 07:41 PM

Drew, good to see you back at it. I forgot the 'burb you built this off of was yellow. Perfectionist, I don't think you'd have it any other way, this is going to be a super nice truck and a radical departure from the norm. Keep up the awesome work and I look forward to seeing it completed.

drewskiren · 08-01-2011, 10:23 AM

OK, looking better now. We'll see how the monster looks after a wet sanding with 400 grit. I'll be down to tiny spots to fill with glazing putty I'm pretty sure. Then prime again and block/wet sand with 600 grit.
Everything I read talks about how 400 grit scratches don't show in the final paint, but I beg to differ. I tried it on both the black truck and the green Denali and I could see the scratches in the right light. I also do not trust that if I wet sand/block with 400 grit and then go back over with the 600 grit that I will find and eliminate all the 400 scratches. When you are doing it you just cannot tell where you have been or not since it is already a sanded texture. That is why I will respray the primer and then go over it again, this time with the 600 grit. I use and 11 inch block with 8 by 11 sheets of wet or dry sandpaper cut in half wrapped on the block. If you hand sand this step you can end up with tiny ripples in the surface instead of mirror flat.

I've had the same results. 400 grit will show scratches in the final paint. I always use 600 for the final blocking too. I guess if you're wet sanding and buffing it may not be as much of a factor using 400?

The shop I worked for used 400 as well. The owner who sprayed everything said it was how he knew there was enough sealer on the truck by when the 400 grit scratches in the primer were no longer visible. I think he rushed things as it was a collision repair shop.

20 years ago the factory paint jobs weren't so hot so his repairs were on par with what was on the truck to begin with. Definitely not show car worthy but fine for a daily driver.

Just to be safe I always use 600 to wet sand the final primer coat on my own projects.

I really love the newer HVAC idea too, but I may have to re-engineer it to keep the stock dash and controls.

Just a great build thread and I wanted to let you know your project rocks, can't wait to see it done.

Thanks to all of you who keep encouraging me, it is quite addictive. If any of ya'll move to Memphis, you can be my best friend.

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-04-2011, 02:00 PM

I doubt I move there, but I may end up there for some training some day. If so I'll try to get a hold of you before then.

firethorn · 08-04-2011, 02:40 PM

incredible build, keep up the good work.

luis979motoring · 08-04-2011, 06:54 PM

WOW!!! what a build!!! you truly just motivated me to finish my C10... lol. Can't wait to see this thing hit the roads!

also, let me mention that through all this reading, I realized that by the time I got here, I totally forgot you started with this.....

jbclassix · 08-04-2011, 11:32 PM

Memphis, I'm down! My wife wants to know if you get tornadoes. That's the deal breaker I guess.

Yep, we fill up the left ballast tank and load everyone on the left side also, then I can surf the wake created by going 10 MPH. I always wanted to learn to surf.
