farmer52 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 1500 watt sound system next? He will need it if he installs straight exhaust pipe(s). A good idea to sound insulate the cab with matting.

I have already got the back rims painted. Think im gonna do another coat when they're off again. Im trying to talk Papa into getting his sandblaster out so I can sandblast the front hubs because I tell you what, getting ALLL the coats of paint off them rear hubs was a pain-in-the-ass. Sitting out there in the blistering sun chiseling away at them...my god. Anyways thanks Randy.

umodelnut Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Matt should be proud of me, I got one hub stripped. Maybe get the other done tomorrow. Used some stuff I found in our paint room, it was Dupli-Color paint stripper in a can. Some nasty stuff. Still gonna blast the hubs. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32534-took-her-for-a-drive-last-night/page/2/#findComment-202778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these tires and rims are junk.
