I've never used the stuff, but have heard good things. Maybe it is time to pick up a can.
I painted up the B pillar trim with the Duplicolor Flat Black vinyl die. I am really liking this stuff. It goes on smooth no matter what you do to it and dries very quick. I had a run on the one piece and once dried it was completely gone.

I let the truck run for about 20 minutes so I could see what the temp would do. I am thinking it does not have a thermostat. It crept its way up to about 210 but the upper radiator hose never built pressure. It was hot and I could feel flow going through it. Either way, I'm going to pick up a thermostat. Most of my gauges are working, but I have no gauge lights. I guess it is possible that all of the bulbs are out, but is probably more likely to be a wiring problem. The radio actually works. It is a really nice aftermarket Jensen from about 1990 (I'm not sure how to type sarcasm). The speakers are crap, but those yard sale pioneer 6x9's helped a lot. Eventually I will get into the dash and put some decent speakers in there and I will put a better head unit in.
