In case anyone finds use in this topic, ever.
This is what I ended up going.
Fighting talk.......
I really don’t care about who does not like today’s progress.
I like it, may even love it (not really) but anyone wanting to change it, the Blazer if for sale and you can then change to your hearts content.
Another rubbish night last night, seems to be a pattern, leaving me tired.
So I did clean the house, then ironed 20 work shirts etc before getting out to start with the truck.
The temperature must have been above 10’C most of the day.
Started out with a thin red pinstripe along the sewage line.
This would allow me to use it to get the rest of the Go Faster Stripes spot on and straight.
Getting the curve into the leading edge, and also the keyhole right was important, as the whole thing needs to look just right in the end.
Bottom line completed, one side.
Rear view.
Then the yellow stripe below the orange.
I would prefer the yellow a bit darker, but this was what was available.
Chrome trims fitted for the pics, but I need to prep the rims and then add in two layers of Duck Tape for the clips to kick against of bit into.
You can see where the clips scrape and try to grip when removed, so the Duck tape gives it something to kick into and hopefully they will stay in place.
And finally, photos of the job completed.
And side view.
I am really pleased with how this all,came out, certainly pleases me.
May just go for a decent drive tomorrow too, to celebrate.
It’s been a good, if busy week.
