Vinegar or molasses works too.

 

Steve she's looking a little naked right now. Can't wait to see her fully dressed again. Lol

 

Where did you get that style. I could only find nylon style

Thank you for that link! Mine is completely shot.

 

That method stinks, attracts flies, messy (molasses), and is less effective than an electrolysis vat set-up.

The most anyone of us has to get is a box of washing soda.. about $6. We likely all have a plastic tub, a battery charger, and scrap steel.

 

I have had a busy last few days so after work I spent the little time I had to get the most done as I could. The paint shop would have my hod done today so I really had to light the afterburners.

Here's the summery, the steering block helped correct the extreme angle of the drop link but I discovered having 3 lifted steering components threw the geometry off the movement of all the linkage. I could not make a left U turn at all, I sent the pedestrians that where crossing the intersections running for their life. I removed the drop pitman arm and replaced it with the stock pitman arm and all my troubles went away. Not only do I have my full turning radius back but the ball joint no longer hits the spring bracket.





I finished up the fuel lines but I still need to fab up some pretty brackets for the hose. Last Tuesday I picked up my powder coated inner fenders and they came out looking a little more grey but I really didn't mind after I looked at the red of the truck and the black parts I pained. Then today I picked up my hood and the guys at the shop put it on and one guy stayed and aligned the hood. It took him almost 2 hours and he really was attentive to detail.

So here it is!













I had them re shoot the top of the hood too and clear coat. It came out really nice!





I still need to install the splash guards, change the oil and do some detail work but it's pretty much done! By the way the new Red Head steering box works great! It drives perfectly tight and straight. Sure feels good driving the Candy Cane again.

 

Nice!!! That color almost glows in that light.

Wished I would have done my inners gray. They are always dusty looking and I'm no fan of cleaning.

 

Wow looks nice.

 

That is a damn beautiful truck but those grey inner fender panels would **** me off. Didn't you want them black? How'd they get the colour so wrong?

 

It's Hammertone Sliver and for the most part it is but it looks grey on the top side. (The most visible side.) Black is too dark for me, I like to see the details under the hood.

 

Your hood really turned out nice. Looks like they even did a nice job detailing underneath. Are you going to put a light back up under there?

Glad you got the steering figured out and no pedestrians were lost in the process and the Redhead is as good as it is billed to be.

Nice truck!

 

Why was the hood at the body shop in the first place? I feel like I missed that part. Also, what was done to remove the putty crap that holds the inside hood bracing to the hood itself?

 

Steve, that hood and those inner splash pans look great. Well done .

 

Beautiful Steve.
That's one of the best trucks I've ever seen.
