Wdygdtw 11/20
Well I finished wirebrushing my metal, and painted with with Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator. I also figured out that the switch for my headlights is just messed up and I need a new one to fix the light issues, and i got my electric fans working. I also got the rest of the front clip on and the hood, but they need some tweeking becuase they arent lining up. but now for the part everyone loves pictures!
         So I think I need to replace the drivers side floor pannel kicker and rocker unfortunately as I looked closer and there is some noticable rot in that corner.

Re: Wdygdtw 11/20
That looks great. I have heard good stuff about the rust encapsulator. There are no places that dip cabs in Charleston, so I am going to have to go the wirewheel/ rust converter route. Can't figure out whether I want to get Rust encapsualtor or SEM Rust Seal.

Re: Wdygdtw 11/20
Sat night I spent about 4 1/2 hrs cleaning my truck. Neon Larry was in town and my truck looks liek crap...at least it looked like clean crap. I scrubbed the h*ll out of the int. Used simple green spray on the sheet metal, window rubber, dash top, door jamb....pretty much everything inside the truck. Pulled the bed liner out and scrubbed all the sludge out of it, pulled the tool box out and cleaned it up, had a bottle of used diesel motor oil leak inside the alluminum box....nasty.
Other than that all I did was adjust the brakes and screw in new sparklers.... that's about it. |

Nothing.
Went Fishing. And for once, the fish lost and I won. Got a freezer full of Red Drum, Black Drum and Speckled Trout, now. After a good dinner tommorow night, maybe I'll get something done on the truck.

I was about to PM you and see if you had any luck in the yards. The cab is looking good!

Re: Wdygdtw 11/20
Not much to my Blazer other than wiring up the aftermarket tach I strapped to my column last weekend and gutting the junk manual choke setup.
My Nissan Frontier received a new driver's side engine mount (tore one while wheelin') and a passenger side exhaust manifold (cracked - factory defect). Of course the damn autoparts store doesn't stock metric studs so I had to order to replace the one I broke on the Cat housing. Found that an inner CV boot is torn and will have to replace that now as well.
