    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha if you guys are just hitting it with a hammer, I'm just going to go stand on it. That will do the trick. [emoji23] Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Mine already has the braces on it. [emoji849] They just didn't lube the coils/hinge, but rest of maintenance was done. [emoji2369] But will do. I just need motivation. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    I'm planning to use big c clamps and some 2x4s on both side and work it slowly back straight. Doesn't have to be perfect but should get it close. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Thanks! I really love it. A lot of little things to do. Tune-up next, temp gauge isn't reading right, and flatten the hood. lol I just picked up the temp wheels, while I sand and paint the oem ones. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Hello from Portland, OR

    Thanks guys! And yes, pits are definitely the best to me. Just loving animals, especially rescues.

    Thanks for the details. After doing some more research into it, that's definitely the direction I'm going! Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha just an app for a phone or tablet. Makes it easier for us to navigate when we're not on a computer. Pretty simple. Well to each their own, but for me, natural patina I love. A well used and worn paintjob can be awesome. Even some rust depending. But I won't do any faux work; not my style...

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Haha it's all good man, I do know what you mean. And I do agree with you, site/forum maintenance is a lot of work and does cost money. I just have the mindset of providing quality and let people see the worth. Then I'd happily throw $25-50 annually for a contributing community. But when it's my...

    That's very true. Definitely one of my few tests to see what's at the base of this. Thanks Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Hello from Portland, OR

    Actually I think I have! Small world. And I appreciate the offer. Time allowing, I'm always done to help as well. Thanks and he's part pit (Stafford mix) and dalmatian actually. Mostly white but a ton of spots under the white fur. Aren't we all [emoji854] Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Hello from Portland, OR

    Thanks guys! It actually has some metal plate/supports already welded on; I was wondering what they were before I realized how bad the hood was. (Inspected the truck in the dark) I'm in SW Portland, close to Tigard, so not too far from Salem. I'm always down to help turn a wrench as well...

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Lol "legally join" made me laugh. And I'm glad it hasn't been an issue for you, but that doesn't mean broken links and failed images are acceptable for others. It's the owner's job to support the site, and if he chooses not to spend money, I'm not scoffing at it. But it is a standard message...

    Haha thanks and he's definitely mine. He's my copilot most days. And is obsessed with riding in the truck or in our Wrangler. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Hey guys, The name is Jake. Long time lover but first time owner of a squarebody. It's a 1975 Chevy Cheyenne 2500 c20 with the 350/TH400 combo. It came from a truck family and was the grandmother's daily. The son is really happy to see it back on the road and with someone who cares about it...

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Yeah, I get it. And depending how your workflow is, it might not remotely work for you. It took me awhile to adjust to it and now I can't imagine not using it. But that's also because I'm nuts and love my lists and organization. Lol Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    It does have a lot of benefits over a browser. I've been using message boards for many years and I love having the app to keep things in order and allowing me to read notifications in one spot. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Scratch that. I finally realized that Tapatalk was taking over every time I clicked on or copied a link on the message board. Finally got the browser to work and I can see the pictures. At least that gives me some help when I've been researched on here at old build threads, etc. Sent from my...

    Very interested. But still strange for me since I tried using a mobile browser with the same issue. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    Damn, I didn't even catch that. It not being the original bed would explain it. But it still seems very odd location wise. Obviously the easiest thing will be me sanding down a little and seeing what I find. I'm just waiting for the rain to stop. And that's pretty much how I felt about the...

    Removing paint and "polishing" it while maintaining patina?

    That was my initial thought too actually. My dad did his own painter's logo on his truck so it's not far of a stretch. Especially with the locations. Sent from my SM-N960U1 using Tapatalk
