Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.

Thanks you guys. That stance is how it sits when it's aired completely out. It's about 5 inches taller when full but doesn't look half as good.

The bare metal look is the result of mostly 80 grit on a DA sander. I also used paint and rust stripping discs on a grinder. I used wire wheels for the tight spots but never any stripper on this truck. I also have a sand blaster that I used on the frame. It's in bare metal too. I was scared to use the blaster on the panels because of potential warpage. I only had one coat of paint on my truck, luckily. The DA sander works well unless there's multiple coats. You'll need time and soap as well. Good luck apache!
