We call it SoCal Checking in, but if you start at the first page, you will see members from all over Cali and other states. This is how we all met. The members in Fresno, A****er, Sactown, AZ, Utah, Nevada, etc, we met here.

Im sure there are a few near you. Search this post because everyone does not check in all the time. Even though your in Bakersfield, your part of SoCal.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Just gettin' ready to cut -n- buff my truck and I am scared to death. I need to try and get my paint to look as close to the paint on the prom queen as I can...real slick.

A cruise? I'm up for a cruise.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

Stay away from the sheep, that's old school, foam and 3M materials. Start light, you can always get more aggressive if needed. I'd start with 2500 and 3M perfect it 2. If that does not cut it, try 2000, maybe perfect it 1. The compound and the pads are a set, don't mix them up.

Thanks for the offer Vince but I think this is something I need to screw up all on my own. I need to learn how to do it and I'm not much fun when I'm learning.

I'm gonna' blame any mistakes on you anyway. LOL!

I'm gonna' use the 3M perfect it stuff. Foam pads for sure. What's the difference between perfect it 1 and perfect it 2?

My wife bought me a variable speed buffer for my birthday (isn't she great!), so I have that covered. I have all the sand paper I should need (1500 - 2000). I will order the compound and buffing pads (white, black and blue) so I guess I'm ready to go this weekend.

Well seeing that you have all the proper equipment, then I guess it might be safe for me to help,....hand you a beer as I watch.

J/K, let me know if I can help.

Be careful what you wish for
I call her the "Prom Queen" for a reason
Sure she looks good from across the room
But deep down she has issues

I'll have some C/10 Club openers with me too.

Hey Guys,

I still have these inner fenders, and a lot of other parts laying around now in my shop. I'm trying to clean everything out so I can make room for the build. If anyone in the area is interested I'll let these and most everything else go pretty cheap. PM for details if interested.

Re: SoCal checkin' in

On another note, do you guys want to have a monthly breakfast or lunch get together? This is for all trucks, not just C-10's.

Just asking.
