Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Well it was a bit brisk today and below the 50 degrees recommended for painting but i fired up the wood burning stove and did it anyway...

So I painted the back of the second fender and also finished removing the paint from the front of the first. Then I let the fenders sit and started working on the hood hinges I grabbed when i got the fender.. So I wired the crap out of then and I may live to regret it but I painted them red... Now its fairly cold out so im hoping they dry by morning but its hard to say.... Im thinking the red/black look will be a nice accent but maybe not we will see

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

Either way, I think your paintwork was good quality. It all looks good to me.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

oh well part of owning a truck the age that it is. just thankful I wasn't across town when it all went down, and also that i was at a part store thankfully. but a guy suggested a way to check the starter so I'm going to climb under the truck in a few minutes and test it.

Re: Project 78 High Sierra

those make me want to get them too, I probably will end up doing it too haha. I have to do simple things up until march, so probably start fixing some exterior issues get the truck all sanded down and what not.

What kind of pain did you use for the fender?
