Re: It ain't over till it's over.
The 91 Sonoma, first the alt went out, then I shattered the back glass, then the alt went back out. PLus I had to get the alt bracket welded back together. Its just been little stuff like that.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
I was thinking of having my chrome shop do something similar, was just wondering how hard it'd be to do it in house. Getting rid of the chrome is my biggest concern I guess.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
all you have to do soak the part in a hydrochloric acid bath for a few hours. any machine shop that does chrome plating can do it it for you.
the bathed steel parts come out burnt looking and would need a good sanding before painting Last edited by nbpro; 11-02-2010 at 12:48 AM. |

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
The smoothed bumper and phantom grill looks great. When I smoothed the bumper on my 90 I just sanded the chrome with a 60 grit flap wheel, and used etching primer, so far the paint has stayed on.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
our base coat is taking longer than i expected to get here, which is probably a good thing. got a friend going to come out and help us get the garage cleaned out, which will be a great help on me and the nephew.

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
Ive read your thread a few times now and have never taken the time to come in and say anything, Just wanted to say that what you've guys have done with such little space is really amazing. I ***** that I cant fully walk around in my garage and here you have done most of the work out side in the back yard and in the front parking lot. I have alot of respect for you. Looks great, keep it up cant wait to see the truck painted.

yeah, we can't wait till it's painted either. trying to get my cousing to join up with his s10. back in the 80's, he had an iroc s10 that was friggin awesome. had a pool table in the back, 26 speakers total that were put in by one of the best audio sound shops around here for free. they used it for 3 months for promotional tours, and paid him to boot. trying to get him to get some pics up so i can post them. he'll be helping us on the paintwork. once again, thanks matt. that's a nice looking truck in your avatar. |

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
That s10 would be cool to see! I love the older s10s. I check your thread all the time for updates..Once again cant wait!
Ya my truck.. Haha already sold the wheels off of it wanted bigger ones, plus seemed like every one started getting the same wheels (Eagle Alloy 225s) and I wanted to be different. I wish I could weld and make my own stuff like you guys did, would feel better about it. But im such a perfectionist I dont think I would ever feel satisfied with my own work. One of these days I will pick up a welder and learn, I still have alot of time to do so! (Im 21.) |

Re: It ain't over till it's over.
lol, i forgot that was there. we got people that like to knock on doors late at night around here. you answer the door with that in your waist belt, usuall they tell you it's the wrong place. go figure.
correct on the single stage. doesnt mean i can't use clear over it to get the desired color effect, does it not? Last edited by nbpro; 11-10-2010 at 10:59 PM. |
