Sounds fun

[Dubway5887]

Should be fairly quick.

[Dubway5887]

Do they have the right center bore for us?

[aeion]

Who?

[Dubway5887]

The wheels your looking at getting. I was just wondering. Because I keep find some decent wheels and every time the center bore is too small.

[aeion]

Ahh. Yes they do actually. But in general, if you want wheels to fit these, you have to bore the centers out of whatever wheels you get. That's what the previous owner did with my current ones.

Forgot to post my latest photo in here. Bam.

Looks great man! That paint looks gorgeous

Is that white on the inner fender on the bed? Maybe paint it black so it won't reflect so much.

[aeion]

Haha the paint is pretty heavily helped out by my friend Photoshop. The whole thing needs to be resprayed as the last owner did a shitty, shitty quick job of painting the truck and it all needs to just be redone. The bed used to be white and that's where the paint is chipping off because of the PO's neglect to paint it right. There are more white chips around the bed.

Buuuuuut one day I will paint it and it will be BEAUTIFUL AND AWESOME.

However, thank you.

Paint over paint? Did they at least manage to take the clear off of it?

When you do the sanding, DO NOT DO IT BY HAND get a sander. I swear me and like 6 other people are going to have some sort of lung disease because we hand sanded my friends rx7 in the high school parking lot a few years back. Took one and a half hours to do half of it hahahaha.

[aeion]

No. They didn't. And I certainly won't sand by hand haha. I've done bodywork on one of these before and a sander is mandatory equipment lol.

Still debating on colors.

[rice4life]

I vote deep marine blue.

The paint code is #BN6

[aeion]

I do love this color...

[TheCrabMaster]

No. They didn't. And I certainly won't sand by hand haha. I've done bodywork on one of these before and a sander is mandatory equipment lol.

Ditto on that, spent like 3 hours yesterday sanding, even with a palm sander, it felt like forever thou

[Dubway5887]

Yeah I've got 17" escalade wheels right now....because baller? No not by choice I can assure you. Like the saw blades of nissans lol. Yeah body work sucks seriously on these. I've got a few heavy duty sanders and it still takes forever and I still ended up blocking it down by hand. I'm currently up **** creek with tons of body work to get it prepped for the booth.
