Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday I drove the truck to our local chapter of chevy trucks meet in Greenville SC along with some others! First drive since the 6.0 LSx motor install!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Does anybody know of a LSX 6 litre emblem that we could use?

I don't think they make a LSX 6.0 liter fender badge. There are LSX badges out there but not coupled with the 6.0 liter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I spent my weekend stripping the paint off of my hood and the front fenders. I used aircraft paint stripper then sanded it down. Very time consuming.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
That looks really good, I have been struggling on how to strip all the old paint off my truck it needs to go to metal. All in all did the stripper work well for you and what did you use in the sanding process thanks Jerry

Re : Chemical Stripping
Just be EXTREMELY CAREFUL of chemical burns ! I first used " Aircraft Remover " in the 1960's and got some on my hands and arms , boy howdy was that a bad burn and hurt like the dickens because no water or anything else to remove it from my skin .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
The aircraft stripper I used worked pretty good. I roughed up the paint with 40 grit just to open up the paint to let the stripper soak in. I had about three coats of old paint on. So it took a coat of stripper for each coat of old paint. Once I scrapped off as much as I could I used 80 grit to remove the rest. Like the previous post said, be careful with it. It will eat through light latex gloves, your clothes et,. were goggles, use in well ventilated area and/or use a respirator.
