GOT THE WIFE'S TRUCK RUNNING!!!

Post by shrektruck »

Unfortunately the engine was always fine, it's the paint I'm talking about. :( :( :( I'll be blocking down those sags for a while.
It's all one color and shiny though. It looks good from across the street and was good practice for the shrektruck's paint job. :D

Ok, Sorry!
Pics tomorrow night if I don't have to get underway. The wife's truck is a piece of Dodge though so I didn't think anyone would be too interested in pics.
Good night all.

Let those sags firm up, then take a nib and knock them most of the way down, then block them. I just shot a door on my daughter's pickup when I was sick, and ran it like I've never done before :eek: :eek: !! I was soooo ashamed!!!!! :oops: Thank God for nibs and block sanding.. can't even tell it now, but I learned a lesson about not shooting when I'm not feeling ok!!!
When I was owner/tech-rep for a paint comany, we used to get calls from irate customers that had run their paint, and I'd usually say that we must've sent them a can with a run in it... that'd usually get them off base a little and ease the "tone" of the conversation a bit. Jon Kosmoski always said "if you want to see what caused the run, go look in the mirror" and as tough as it is to admit it, he's right... :lol:

Is a "nib" a straight razor?

DC, they're more like a rasp or bondo file. I tried one of the straigh razor blade things sorta like a little wood plane and it wanted to dig in on me... the nibs give me more control...
