    Took like 30 minutes to soften the paint, then removed the paint with coarse green scrub pads, rinsing in water. Eric

    Paint Stripper

    I have used the non toxic citrus strip and it seemed to take off the paint 1 layer at a time. Pain in my a$$, but it might be just what you are after. Eric

    Caulking In Bed

    When you talk about seam sealer and 3m it is like going to baskin robbins for ice cream. Their product range is huge and they have a flavor or two for every application. Read the labels and make sure you get the one for your usage. Eric

    Transtar 2k Epoxy Primer Problem

    I would give it 2 days in the sun for the " old college try " and then if it is still no joy, I would scrape some of the gummy $hit off the bed and go down to the shop and ask for some " splaining". Even in cold conditions that epoxy primer should have cured by now. Eric

    Here's one for the Holley/Eddy debate...

    Totally un related but, the office came out to the shop wanting receipts to match up to the 1,400.00 bill from napa for last month. I just laughed and asked " so you are not going to pay for my 750 double pumper?". The sad thing is no one got the joke and now I am on the $hit list with the...

    Painting inside of cab

    What is the trim level inside the truck going to be? The reason I ask is that if you do the interior over with new trim parts, there is not a lot of paint visible. My opinion is that a base coat clear coat paint is more fore giving than you think. Buy a mid level gun, start with the floor and...

    Can I fix this by cutting out and only replacing outer?

    Outer panels are available, LMC ect. It will take a fair amount of skill and body experiance to pull that panel replacement off. It is doable but if you have not done a weld on panel replacement before, a friend that has or a shop will be your new bestie. Eric

    So no joy at all. GRRRRRRRR! I got the 4 person full on chinese inspection. Hood up, tape measure out, mirror on wheels to look at the underneath. Meanwhile the mustang on my left would not stay running due to the low idle and aggressive cam. The bro dozer on the right had a bumper that was...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    So I took advantage of the high 60's temp here and washed her to get ready for inspection at the DMV tomorrow. Bad news is the chineesium front bumper I bought from LMC less than 1 year ago is rusting through the chrome already, even with wax on it. Thanx LMC, NOT! Eric
