^^^ THAT kind of work sucks. i hate having to do car work in retardedly cold weather.

btw scottsdale - spray bombing inside and outside are totally different, btw i've seen people who've spray bombed cars and its turned out not bad. granted its no where as good as proper paint job tho. they just needed to sand properly and add a clear after to get it to a decent quality.

Well on the inside I'm probably gonna bedline the floor and I'll paint the plastic. But both my cousin and uncle paint cars and they can probably cut me a deal, so I dont wanna spray the outside but I'm sure parts of the inside will be sprayed!

my 2 year old rad started leaking again!!! was laying under it in at least 6 inches of snow looking for the leak. these rads are JUNK! first they have the bright idea of putting plastic on a hot pressurized system, then they decide to crimp the ends and use crappy gaskets, chalk up another one for GM

Picked up a set of seats from a '87 K5 for $20 today! One of the front seats is pretty rough on the lower seat cushion and someone had attempted to dye the rear seat black, but everything is there. For $20, I couldn't pass it up. The guy I bought them from is also giving me the fuel tank out of the truck which is mint.

He is interested in the rear side doors from my parts 'burb for his K30 3+3 dually.

Disappointed. Went to start sanding my dash only to notice that the fiberglass didnt stick there was only a couple spots it stuck the rest did not...now I'm back to where I started. Any suggestions you guys/girls have to fix my old dash or some how cover the metal that is under the dash pad in the truck to make it look nice?

96 blazer...today I replaced thermostat & ect sensor. Heat is great now.
Visited the junk yard looking for stereo as cd player doesnt work and ended up picking up the following....
oil filler tube & cap (mine was kinda loose fitting)
blk vortex throttle body cover (mine was missing the front metal hold down clip)
entire air intake hoses (maf sensor was still attached and it also had one of those tornado things in the air intake...dont know if I should leave it in and try it out or remove it??
complete air filter box (old one had cracks in it)
complete heater/ac dash control switch with all the ***** (fan/blower control dial split and fell back into the dash)
gas cap as a spare (left one too many at the gas station after fill up)
All for 20 bucks !! Bummer, no stereo though,will have to try another yard.
