[Turdle]

That's what I'm considering for my rear cover, and polished valve covers. I got a call from a freight company today, I plan top go get the crate Monday.

That metal flake aditive looks damn sweet.

 

[Jakee]

Man that looks good. A job well done. When is my turn?

 

[Turdle]

I just got back from the alignment shop-

I'm gonna take the wife out for a bite to eat, but will have pics up shortly.

Boy, I like the smoother ride.

 

[Dan Whitaker]

I hope you didn't take it to Crack Heads R Us.

That looks great, it's a different truck.

Someday Jon, you will be doing many of my parts. I just need the money and a second ride so I can tear mine apart. Those wheels look awesome and I would love my stock wheels powdercoated like that.

 

[MountaineerGreen]

WOW! That looks damn good

 

[X6StringerX]

Now you just need to ditch those running boards.

 

[FROADER]

I like that a lot. Good choice on those wheels instead of the 10" wide things.

Looking good when's the next phase going to start?

I have a gallon of black paint, a pint of black pewter mettallic and a gallon of acetone.

I need to catch up on other things first though.

 

[Turdle]

Well wouldn;t you know it, another distraction---

I spent about 45 minutes trying to get 1997 torsion bar bracket covers to fit on my 1998 --WTF????

hmmm, they are way different, so, I had to blast and coat my original set--

I tried getting a jump on things by powdercoating items I had scrounged over time-
I removed these from a box of parts I had received from Nssj2 lol

 

[410Fortune]

truck looks great, now its a truck!

 

[Turdle]

Well it took a while to find the bolts, but the skid plates are all on, and all the rear suspension bolts have been re torqued and given the second going over-just to be sure
I also removed the running boards and replaced them with plastic side skirts. They were white,So, I sanded them , wiped them with acetone real good and painted them black with el cheapo wal mart paint because I fully expect to smash them-and I don't care. Woo hoo!
It looks a bit taller yet with the running boards off, and a black area where it was grey.


Tomorrow I am re installing the front inner fenders-and getting a 31" spare mounted on the spare rim.

Looking good there Mr. Smith -- the tail lights is a great compliment to the darkness the truck presents. Only thing that needs to be darkened now is the chrome grille
