Well slowed down a bit. Got the rear of the frame painted, and striped the truck down to start polishing it with the kit I just picked up from adams.

I cleaned off all the dirt, and cleaned off what I could with thinner. Then I just used 3m under coating to cover everything. except for the stuff I had already painted.







Then I covered up the cowl, headlights, removed the mirrors, door handles, and started on the hood with the Adam's Severe Swirl Remover. By that time the fumes were a little thick in the garage and the temp dropped to where the stove wasn't keeping up so I quite. But with just one pass of the severe swirl remover it already looked a ton better. I took some before shots of the paint in the worse areas to compare later.

 

Finally got the bed back on, just to find out my rear tires rub the bed side slightly. So no driving it until I get a different setup for the tires.











Got it all bolted down, and it was already close, then once I put the bumper back on, and the tailgate it was tucking tire. Then I sit in it it gets even better. Still pulled it outside to take a few pics since I have it all cleaned up.











So now i'm in search for a new tire combo, or wheel and tire.

 

Looks really good man wow great job! I would do enkei rt6 wheels they look sick on lowered trucks

 

I've just been trying to find something local that will tuck without me having to destroy my bed sides.

 

Alright have a small update. The 22" billets are not going to work out so I tracked down a set or 22" boss 313's with a 40mm offset and they are 9.5" wide that I will be picking up today. From what I've been reading they will tuck with 0 problems. I'll have to get some tires for them but at $500 still seems like a good deal.

Well I wasn't able to save the black chrome on the wheels. While I was removing the painted lip I found out the whole wheel had been painted with something. Ended up having to get them powder coated.







Got them all mounted and balanced at work today, but it was dark by the time I got them on the truck. I'll finished pics tomorrow.

 

Nice truck man great work! You need a 1" spacer on the driver side coil to level it out had to do it to mine to level it out.

 

Snapped a few pics at lunch with my cell. I should get the bumper cap back in the next few days and I'll get some with a rear camera.

 

Looks really good.
