Would I need 500* paint? lol

 

No you dont but its good, durable paint for what youre painting

 

Look in my SASsy thread. Ive get some pics of a 3rd member painted cast coat aluminum

 

I can't find the thread.

 

As far as progress.. I almost got the passengers side frame wire wheeled all the way. It's been raining for the past couple days but I got about a hour to wire wheel it today. Going to pick up some kroil tomarro so I can get these bolts off. And Im going to look at some wheels and tires today.

It was about 5 or 6 threads below yours

 

I've read that one already. You taught me ALOT!

 

Id personally want 4.56's with 35's for street use....

 

STREET USE?!? who said anything about that! lol
I'm tryna make a mini mudder.

 

This is going to be a multipurpose truck that will see some street time.

4.10s and 35s wont be bad. Ideally we would have gone deeper since we changed the front gears but i think he'll be fine until he either builds another engine, wants to regear or both.

 

Offroad only 4.56-4.88 with 35s

 

I'm not really into the 80's models truck. But I have to admit that one looks good!

 

Its growing on me but then again its been in the shop for 3 months and I'm ready to see it done
