Re: slammed 57

Man did we get a crap load of rain last week from hurricane Eta ,15” of rain.The streets were knee deep but did not make it up int the house ( thank god) finally had a break in the weather and had the cab blasted , had a couple of spots to fix before epoxy but got it done the very next day . also sprayed the frame while the cab was at the blaster. And then assembled as a roller so I can push it in and out so I have more room to work on the cab , the suspension parts will be sprayed silver soon enough.... but as of now I have a ton of block sanding to do , now the real work begins!

does it come as a facial? I could use some of that. haha.

looking good. keep those pics rolling in, we all like to see them. it gets us inspired again.

got inspired. went to the bolt supply place yesterday with my 4 1/2 year old grandson. covid restrictions in the place so masks, hand sanitizer etc. the counter was actually taped off and there was a row of makeshift boxes as a barrier to getting too close. it took them awhile to pick the stainless fasteners but after a 140 dollar hit to the visa we were off. no, I didn't buy my grandson the 50 dollar flashlight he thought he needed but on the bright side he didn't break anything or knock over any displays. his eyes were wide open the whole time though and lots of questions. anyway, when I got home I realized I had only grabbed the bags off one of the boxes so I need to take another trip across town to pick up the ones I left sitting there on another box further over. my wife was like "so, you spend 140 bucks on bolts and washers and then leave 100 bucks worth of stuff in a bag sitting on a box in the showroom?" yup. oh well. I actually need more stuff anyway so it won't be a wasted trip. lol.

Re: slammed 57

curious, what is the texture and depth of application for the Raptor? depends on how much you spray on or is there a recommendation for max depth? more easily scraped off with deeper applications?

lol good story bud, as for the raptor liner theres really no control of the texture, I would have liked a more fine texture but it still looks decent. I only did 2 coats but even if you add more I belive it would look the same just mor mils thick

Re: slammed 57

Question: You made changes to the cross member on chassis from the beginning and I wonder what prompted them (want to learn). Also, what are these brackets going to be used for - exhaust hangers?
