Looks like you have the same year/model that I just purchased. I'm looking forward to following your build. I'm in the "research" phase myself at this point, but in general I'm planning a full restomod.

Wow Pimp. I think you spend more time hunting and picking parts than anyone on here. I have to give you credit for your patience and vision. It's gonna be an awesome truck and I'll continue checking in.

electrolysis tank, i need to figure a way to do the whole truck!!!

Just get a Really, "REALLY" Big tank..

[hint, some stripping company's have full dunk tanks]

I dont know what the cost of that is but I know a man here in AZ that does that, last time I was at his shop he had a MBZ 300 gullwing he was dipping.

ima try that wet sand blasting idea, with a power washing. seems just right since i have the tools and its right up my alley "cheap" and you still get great results!!!

Turtleman · 12-23-2014, 08:13 PM

Best way to have at it... elbow grease.. Just pay attention to all the small tight corners and holes,,, go slow,, pay attention to details..

dude i use a microscope when i block sand, so tiny detail is a given... didnt say it turns out as nice with as much effort as i put in,but i try.

cru_zn_29 · 12-25-2014, 12:48 PM

Are you sure about that?

cru_zn_29 · 12-28-2014, 11:39 AM

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've seen this at our Walmart, but was wondering how it would hold up on an armrest that gets "flexed"?
