[cybergasm]

whoops did see these posts at first.

...Is that lindsy in your avatar...

tell ya later

So what is the extent of the plans with the 9" and fiberglass you're getting from carlover?

umm think i am gonna ditch 8.8 for the 9 dunno for sure if i gonna run the glass want to trail fit it and see how it looks

guess i planning on some version of my own desert beater

so we will see where this heads to in the future since these are definite future projects and course gotta talk shop with Brandon see what i can do with the front axle on this thing

I say ditch the body lift before getting those sliders mounted. From the above picture, it looks like you're not afraid of trimming some sheet metal.

 

[cybergasm]

well the body lift stays cause it gonna make it easier to mount the sliders

 

[cybergasm]

Give me Sliders or give me Death

Let there Sliders

The patient has been dropped of tonight to begin the process of putting sliders on this thing


and in other news i now have a 9in Currie rear axle for this truck and some glass for the rear also

and i dropped off a Certain set of Radius Arms today also to begin the process of rebuilding reinforcing them and these should be on the truck in time for Truckhaven

Whew it was a busy day for me

yeah there will a ton o pics once i get back to town again and some of these projects are done. or if Zukmam is really nice she can post some teasers pics of the slider build Sue, As for the Red "Paint" that is actually powdercoat on that bumper and if your bored one day feel free to start grinding that crap off then i will paint it any color (black) you like :

[techieman33]

You could just paint over the powdercoat

 

[Turdle]

You could just paint over the powdercoat

HA ha-funny

Well, yeah, you could if you scratch it up real good with sandpaper

When can I see the sliders?

 

[gmanpaint]

Scuff it, clean it, and use a Bonding primer, like "XLM", or "DTM".

wanna clue the rest of us in with a Brand Name or something?

"XLM" is the brand name.

"DTM" stands for Direct to metal. It is a powerful bonding primer. Can be used over paint, does not have to be used on bare metal.

Both come in latex & alkyd base. Both are great bonding primers.

Both can be purchased from Sherwin Williams. "XLM" Can be purchased from most Pro paint suppliers.
