What did you do to your Dent today

[fatherdoug]

I can remember getting up at 4:30 in the morning and putting my boots on in the dark, and finding little plastic dinosaurs in the bottom of my boots.....and other stuff.

One of my coworkers found a peanut butter sandwich in his VCR one time.

Seeing as how these aren't reproduced I turned into a trim restoration guy.

From this:

To this:

Lower tu-tone trim.

Scott , could you tell how you got the aluminum that shiny ? I've got one piece I need to deal with.

I like the pattern on your driveway.

First I used stripper to get rid of the camo paint. I then used Easy Off in a spray can. If I were to do more I would definitely go with a Lye/water mixture. I think it would be less harsh on the aluminum. I then wet sanded the areas that needed it with 1000 grit. Then took it over to my bench grinder converted to a polisher and worked some magic to get it to shine. I'm going to give it a coat of clear enamel from a spray can and see how it looks. If the results aren't up to par I'll try this: http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...PC_p_45.html&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13821891200437

That is my rear sidewalk Mark. It is all part of the pool area out back. I couldn't afford to do my driveway in concrete. Your drive looks great!


Here's an idea Mark, how much for all the trim off your truck?

No way, wont do it. It is way to labor intensive to make money doing it.

LOL i was kidding man, but it does look awesome. i've been searching the forums on how to do it for a while now, like you said very labor intensive. i wonder if anyone is making these in the steel version like our grill shells are now being made...?

 

[m78]

All that trim would be the cost of the truck that would come with it.

That glisten pc looks like some good stuff. Especially sticking to polished aluminum.

Thanks, yeah I knew you were kidding. It is a lot of work. I haven't seen any in chrome steel yet.

Lets see, throw my frame under your body, throw some 3 fiddy badges on it and it is good to go. How much?

You'd be better off just cleaning and painting the frame thats already under mine. It's already got the 350 suspension with the D60. Badged as a 250.

Oil change and cleaning before I put it away for the winter. Yay.

Replaced two bolts that hold the fan shroud in place. Apparently they vibrated all the way out. Thankfully, they didn't end up in the fan.

 

[DNFXDLI]

Did you loctite them?

I'm a great believer in that stuff...yes, blue. I figure it is cheap insurance.
