Re: And so it begins................
 
Yeah I saw that hotrod article and I checked out the car they painted with the rollers. It looked really sharp in the pictures and they had a total bill of 99.00

I actually have an HVLP gun I'm using on the outside of the truck and regular automotive primer/paint. I'm learning as I go though. I need Scott to school me a little bit! :lol:

However, the blower box under my dash is plastic and I'm just gonna find some spraypaint to hit it with. JohnC hooked me up with some Krylon Fusion. I'm gonna try that first.

He'd be answering that question a lot more if he'd listened to his son and gotten a taller set than that.

Re: And so it begins................
 
No, that's what I thought at first but that's because I keep going taller and taller on the 4x4. However, the size of these tires on the 72 are really starting to grow on me. I think I may leave them like they are.

He got this 72 and went to town on working on it. Back when he had the Satellite, it just sat for 6 years for me to eventually mess with. Funny.

Before

And just for the record.......... I believe it's been "I" who's been "messing" with it. Before I gave it to you (and I emphasize the GAVE part) ........I didn't have to spend my weekends and evenings working on it!!!!

I'm gonna do a drive by service. Pull up in the street, roll your windows up, and I'll shoot the paint on. After dark only and no refunds!! :ito:

Re: And so it begins................
 
cool, make mine black ;)

highperf4x4 06-29-2009 12:43 AM

Re: And so it begins................
 
Are you really gonna paint it black? You'll have to gut the inside too then.

Ok, so when you drive up, leave the windows down, open the doors and take out the 5 gallon bucket you were sitting on.
