Yeah they looked silver before the tires were mounted but after we put them on his truck, they turned blue! :lol:

Re: And so it begins................
 

They are a chameleon wheel! :lol:

Re: And so it begins................
 

:lol: ok, as long as they don't disappear!!

Re: And so it begins................
 

That all depends on where he parks it! :lol: What is his address again?:exit:

Re: And so it begins................
 

It's not a bad ole' truck for him either. I gotta start gathering up parts for him though. He's got several things going out on him.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Ok, got some new pics. My brother in law, blasted and painted my mirrors for me and put them back on the day before the meet. I installed the window tint yesterday. I sanded the hood today and cleaned up my wheels for the first time since I put them on :lol:

I need to paint my blower box under the dash. Anyone know what's the best paint to use? I thinik Krylon made a paint for plastic that didn't require any sanding but I don't remember for sure.

And who wants to help me prime and seal my hood? :lol:

Re: And so it begins................
 

tint and hood look good!!!
you wanna tint mine?

Re: And so it begins................
 

Yeah I'll help ya. It's easier with two people anyway. Especially on the back window!

Re: And so it begins................
 

what size tires are you running?

Re: And so it begins................
 

Wheels are Cragar Nomad 2's
Tires are Cooper Cobras

Fronts are 15x8 with 255/60/15
Rears are 15x10 with 295/50/15

Re: And so it begins................
 

That tint looks great:metal: What percent is that? I need to do mine but dont know if I want to tackle it myself.

Re: And so it begins................
 

The tint is 18%. I bought it pre-cut from retro68 here on the board. He also has 5%.

My rear window came out a little short at the bottom though. I'd order it a little big next time and maybe trim the excess.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Looks good man! It's amazing how tint can change the look of a truck. As for the plastic paint. Krylon Fusion is the paint for plastic, but with that piece where it is I think you could just sand it with some real fine sandpaper, and use regular spray paint. I think the results would be the same.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Maybe, but I'm going to paint the whole thing. Not just the brown section. Probably the hardest part will be getting it all clean. ;)

Re: And so it begins................
 

If it were me I would shoot it with some satin black. That would look pretty slick.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Yeah, I think I will.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Good thing about paint is if you don't like it, you can always paint over it! :lol: I've been on a satin black kick here latetly. Plan on getting busy on the engine bay with it.

Re: And so it begins................
 

Im partial to high gloss black myslef. Have used 6 cans between the engine bay and bumpers and accecories:lol: I have been using Rustolium. I dont know how it works on plastic, but it is awesome on metal:metal:

Re: And so it begins................
 

Yeah the rustoleum is awesome for metal. I don't know how it does on plastic. Actually I haven't painted much plastic material so I'm shootin blind.

I can't seem to stop myself on this truck. I went down to Palace to look for some primer sealer in a spray can and I came out with 160.00 worth of paint gun and materials...................

Who's got a spot for me to shoot my paint in? :lol:

Re: And so it begins................
 

Dang man you need to come shop at my store if you shop like that! :lol:

I was reading on that gas tank stuff you got me, and it expired on 05/03/09. Think it's still good or too far out of date?

Re: And so it begins................
 

do it in your driveway :sumo::devil::lol::ito:

I wanna see how many cars get over-sprayed :haha:

Re: And so it begins................
 

Just be gentle with the Lacquer Thinner it will be it's first time! :lol:
