Finally got 99% of the paint stripped off the grill. Whata pita! So taped it off and sprayed two coats. Tomorrow I'll flip it over and give it a couple of more.

Project Millstone lingers on. Having the back of the doors blasted. I stripped the fronts - blaster will dust the fronts to clean them up 100% and make a perfect base for epoxy primer. Its far cheaper this way.

Weird thing......figured the doors were all brown and they painted beige at the bottom for 2-tone. While stripping the doors I found they were actually all beige and they painted 3/4 of the door brown to cover for 2-tone. wtf?

Also skim coated the roof - it had very minor issues.

That's how two tone squares were painted. Secondary color shot first, masked off with butcher paper then primary color sprayed.

@JamesSam it’s a start! I hear you on the pollen, it’s going nuts here too.

Got some projects in the mail from Summit. Vacuum gauge, and a set of Bilsteins for the front. The KYB gas-a-just feel good until hit a big bump or dip, then they give up and the front end oscillates all over the place. Which feels dangerous on the freeway at 65.

What location did you put the gauge?

ordered a replacement belt for my LS swap as it was cracking (2006 LM7). Anyway the belt called for 96". What I used was 93" when I did the swap. Returning it and the correct one will be here tomorrow. Future reference for me. LM7 belt 93". Continental and Gates 6 rib. Also ordered the tensioner.

I need your help guys. I pulled my old injectors out to fast and didnt pay attention to the injector hole placement. My truck is a 87 model 454 TBI if that matters. Do anybody know EXACTLY how the hole in the injector hole lines up or better yet have a detailed pic.
