    mig welding chrome plated metal?

    I vote for grinding the chrome out of the way just to be safe. Also be aware of the welding spatter around ANY glass.Like for example your shop is small and you end up welding the piece close to (or heaven forbid while mounted on) the vehicle. If the spatter hits any glass you will...

    How to paint camo?

    I looked at many trucks on GL and noticed they seem to follow a set pattern for the most part.Even the vinyl cargo covers are "painted" to the same pattern---the colors(green,brown or black) on the cover will continue where that color on the metal ends.In other words the cover pattern follows...

    What would you do?

    To just see if it will run I would suggest a 5 gal container of fresh diesel bungied to the fender and plumbed into the system.This way you don't have a bunch of time cleaning/flushing/fighting old contaminated fuel/tank/lines.And if it wont start or upon starting you find that something is...

    Truck got hit friday night.

    Chances are REALLY good that the scrapes also have sheet metal damage as well. Being rough camo helps to hide them but new paint will tend to show the dents --even flat camo- though not as as bad as regular shiny automotive paint. My point being--make sure any estimate includes any...
