Re: 1972 C10 ... SoCal BBC/TH400

I have the US Mags - Rambler wheels. I bought this set used off another board member. I recently painted them gold.

Regarding the paint - I would certainly paint another vehicle, but I'm not sure metallic will be used. I think you just need more practice to spray a good metallic paint. Most likely my other project will get a solid color paint job.

As I expected, the bugs are starting to surface with some miles. It didn't run well. Checked the timing (it was at 4 degrees) and replaced the plugs to find 7 fouled plugs and 1 plug that was cracked in half. Its running better now.

The steering on the truck is horrible, so I've been working on that this week.

And still have a persistent drip from the trans.

But its a lot of fun to drive!!!
