Re: "Rice Rocket'

Polished the heck outta my tips/bumper polished an then waxed my bumper forgot to do tips (will do tom.) dad said waxing over the polish should protect it a lil more.

finally got a lil dry weather to blast rearend! got it blasted and painted 2 thick coats of bedliner. hopefully i'll be dry enough to install tomorow otherwise i'll have to wait. what kind of paint should I paint my brake drums with? Thought of doing baby blue paint on diff. cover/brake drums. Any thoughts? Will spraypaint hold up to heat of brake drums or should I get hi temp paint?

Also, should i put locktite on my nuts and bolts of suspension pieces? Currently there all tightend up but not locktited. If I dont lockite would it be a good idea to at least chizel a small dent in the threads so they dont back off??? (dads idea) lol.

All I have left:
Install rearend
bleed brakes
blast paint drums (sometime when I get more time and paint and weather)
plumb gas line
get filler door
and weld adaptor on gas tank (wont have gas in it or any fumes lol)

Hopefully if the paint dries it'll be on the road tomorow. IF the paint dries! Im excited!
