How does that summit racing chassis paint get applied?
Spray gun, or is it from a spray can?

I sprayed mine with a gun, it is a two part paint. They do sell spray cans of this paint I used one for touching up a few areas after assembly.

Default Exhaust install

Here are some pictures of the exhaust. I still need to do the tail pipes after the bed is back on. I used "Stove paint" it's good to 1000 deg. F. up to 1200. I used the met dark silver. It dries to the touch in 20 min. and needs 300 Deg. F to cure. It got to 300 during the cam break in.

It's all looking good. When do you think you'll be finished?

Just need to take the cab back off and paint everything. I'm looking at @ 4K for paint, cut & polish. Or try it my self for @ $1800. Not sure which way I'll go yet. The plan is to paint the bottom of the cab & bed and see how that turns out then go from there.

When I bought mine, the plan was to use it as a test mule for moving up to painting my Chevelle. I still want the truck to come out DD nice but I won't expect perfection from myself on it. The Chevelle will be a different story. I also bought some cheap spare body panels for the truck. I figure the body panels will be like kindergarden, the truck middle school and the Chevelle college...all as far as painting is concerned.

Are you going with a mild or wild color?

Stock RED, maybe a black stripe on the hood like "Operation Muscle Truck".

Default Pro trucks wanted

Just became a member after seeing your truck. I have a red 90 sport that we do SCCA autocross with. We went to the RTTM hosted by Brain finch and the truck amazed a lot of people.

That's pretty cool. What's your set-up? any pictures of the motor or suspension?
