Thanks guys! Got some stuff done today. Filled up the coolant, ran it up to temp, re torqued the bolts, check for leaks, and the verdict is, ITS GOOD! Awesome stuff, now I'm allowed to drive to school with out getting b*chted at for blowing coolant everywhere... :oops: My ma made me them...

Well, id say its time to update. I brought my truck into the garage last week, started to tear it down to fix that coolant leak, took alot of pictures, and now have it back together with new gaskets. The old gasket was ripped and worn, you could tell where it was leaking from. Also all the...

I went mudding, and thee outcome was, dirty! About 3 weeks ago i drove my truck to school and came out there was a 4ft diameter circle of aintifreeze under my truck, about a gallon lost. I ordered some water/exhaust manifold gaskets, those should be here any day, then time to test my mechanic...

Nope. As bad as it sounds it all flew away with the wind.. the inside of the shop is dusty though. Speaking of homecoming I didn't go to the game or the dance, but I was in the parade. It was pretty awesome! I'll post some pictures in the morning. Also went on a hunting trip as soon as I got...

Thank you Sir! I thank my father alot, couldn't have done it with out his advice, tools and expertise!

Finally! I did what i needed to get done for the day. Top is on, canvas is on, and drivers side toolbox/step is on! Tomorrow i will take some chalk and draw out the camo and then spray. Hopefully that will be done by tuesday, then paint bumper & bumperetts and do allllllll the stenciling! Gotta...

Hmm.. Sounds tempting! Depending how rusty/banged up, maybe it would be a good idea to drop the trailers off at a sandblasters, that was a very temping option for my truck. Get the right people, and sometimes they even paint, give them primer and paint and they will paint it for ya too! All...

Sure why not! haha

As you can see in the pictures, there was GL writing that showed up, Just sprayed KILZ on it, and its gone! good stuff, everything is painted, top needs to be placed on, and toolbox, and then camo..

Just started priming.. Too bad this isnt the start of the weekend, i could have it painted.. But thats life! Got my paint in, and did the grille, I am loving what i see! Looks awesome!! Ill get pictures tomorrow!

Unfortunately no, I have had a few setbacks, but I am really hoping to be painting by tomorrow if weather permits.

Yepp, I thought that half way through the project, but i just wanted it done! Update, everything that needs to be taped, is taped. Bought flat black heat paint, did the stack, heat shield, and pretty much just have the tailgate, mud flaps and windshield to prep/sand, and then wipe it down...

I have about 60-70 hours into it. Today is probably going to be a full day of sanding, and i might have a friend come over and start taping it up/hand sand a few spots.

Yesterday my paint was finally shipped.. Ten days after i ordered it... So back to sanding.. Just going touch up stuff right now, tomorrow i will Tape important parts up, take a rag with thinner and wipe down the truck.. And friday, start shooting paint!!

Don, I have a grill, i just took it off to get a better way to paint everything, its a tad bit easier that way.. I have to agree with you, i cant wait til i start painting!!! The first time was pretty sketchy, Wasted alot.. First batch it was too much hardener, it got hard before i got it...

Didnt get much today.. Got home, the DA worked for about 10 minutes and then the trigger locked in high speed! Forgot to put lube in it... So probably some rust.. Went to harbor freight and bought one for 28$.. Came home and got the Front bumper, cab top, top of hood.. About 2 days left then its...
