Lacquer thinner and Scotch Brite pads.....

Heres what I've been up. I'm getting the Burb ready to spray clear coat straight over the bare metal. I'm getting all surface rust off with the lacquer thinner and Scotch Brite pads, then I go over it again with a dry Scotch Brite to get that neat-o sheen.......I think we are going to put a flatener in the clear so that it has a natural satin finish rather than a glossy one. I still have the front to do yet.

 

Thats one cool Sub.............its about time to change your screen name again.

 

That 'Burb is sick....love it.

 

Hmmm, your right.

I'm thinking 1LowFordLTD.

 

Sick!!

 

That would be a sick bitch with a 5 inch chop!!

 

+1 on the chop...and I usually don't like the bare metal look,but for some reason I'm diggin it on the burb.

 

That is one cool ride!

 

very nice 1lowburban...chop it man....

 

shinin' sooo fine!....that's sharp with a capital ouch !

 

I love that sucker

 

That don't look like no Lesabre, meng. Bu it does look cool.

 

Man , that Burb looks tuff with your metal treatment.....you are definitely on the right path as far as I'm concerned.

 

Cool truck, but what's the point of running the STOCK body bare? I thought people ran bare metal to show off their superior metal-finishing skills after they've customized the body.

If you followed axeman & brewsir's advice, I could see a point in it but like that it just says that you're proud of Detroit's stamping dies.

Is that a taxi sign on your roof?

Here's one that qualifies to run bare.




I think you should change your name to 1Load and be done with it..

 

And before they PAINTED it..........

 

where does everyone get the metal colored bodyfiller?
Nice work! And I agree a mild chop would look sick!

 

Killer burb for sure, but one word of advise...
DO expect it to rust underneath the clear coat. Even if you get it all sealed up nice with the clear, within a year or so, you will start to see rust color starting to show up again underneath the clear. If that's ok with you, then go for it, but I just thought I'd let you know what to expect so you are not bummed out a year from now.

 

Now qualify is a hell of a word. It actually has many different meanings. Here I will list them.

1. to limit or modify in some way
2. to make or consider eligible or fit
3. to issue a certificate or license to

Now I believe you are referring to the second usage in this context here. Basically, you do not feel that the truck in question is condiered eligible to be run in bare metal, but the one you have cited does.

Thus being said, what qualifies you to make such a statement?

 

so awesome!

 

Close your eyes and think Black all over. The bare metal is cool, but paint that sucker if it's straight enough for that go black. It does look bitchin' though and your metal skills are impressive.

 

shiny black... yeah.... shiny black.
not that you were askin.

 

He's Rick Amado, the bitchin photographer,,,,

 

What qualifies it to be ran in bare metal is the fact that that's how the FUCK I want to run it. The taxi sign is a roof mounted factory air vent from when it was an ambulance in the Army. And yea, I'm very proud of Detroits stamping dies, thats why it isn't getting chopped.

Anymore well thought out questions?

 

for some reason,,i think guys from Jusey,hate california....haha

 

Oh yea. Safety's a bnig deal to me. Not only for me but my kids. You have to teach'em right. You should also use saftey glass' too.

Matter of fact I'm on my second set of gloves. That stuff eats through them after a while.

 

traditional wooden parking brake... kool

 

that f***ing burb is bad ass

 

Its Lead.

 

Looks sweet. Never thought someone to get one of those big pigs to look that cool! Nice work...
