To clarify, I thought you said the plumbing problem you had today was above your basement garage.....It was my feeble attempt at levity...

Okay, Okay... I give you this one...

It kinda snowed today... Flurries all day, no accumulation really.

 

[Ridgerunner]

How many coats have you gotten done?

 

[Austin]

Haven't put more paint on it since day one. (1 coat) Looks alright.

I would definitely put more than one coat especially when you go to cutting it to make it shine and it will. Look at the 69 Cougar (white) in the project section at rolled one.

I've really focused my energy towards the bed for now, since it is off of the truck. Kinda my test area.

When I get to the cab, I'll razor the runs out and do a full 2-3 coats.

Hell the exhaust is easy, soak them bolts with some PB'Laster take that flange off and weld on a piece of pipe.....FWIW, Napa carries tailpipes for these trucks for around 70 bucks....I can get you a part number if ya want...

Don't worry about it... I've got something in the works...

 

[flareside_thunder]

Yay stacks!

 

[Austin]

Just one... the gas tank would have to go to do another...

 

[flareside_thunder]

Ah, you don't wanna do the in-bed crossover?

 

[Austin]

Eh, I like the 1 stack look...

 

[flareside_thunder]

e too, you gonna do it centered, off-centered or all the way to the corner of the bed?

 

[5.0Flareside]

Centered Centered Centered!!!!!!!

 

[Austin]

Off centered, maybe all the way to the right. Gonna do some mock ups soon.

Haven't decided on black or chrome yet... Leaning to black.

I like black and white for the truck overall, but it is getting chrome wheel simulators. I also like that the black will be better with the smoke; chrome would get dirty. Might also save me a few dollars.

In a pickup, at least... Big rig + chrome = hot!
