Where is everyone #5

Pulled a Talbert beam for R&L, actually enjoyed it. Don't forget the pics lol.... still enjoy all that goes with this kind of work.

 

Yes sir it is.

Even with mufflers when we are on the phone I can hear the ol big cam coming up through the gears or the Jake. That green truck was ninja silent. Hit the throttle on the big cam and instant response. Hit it on the isx and instant let down.

 

You are sooo easy.
Not that I have room to talk. I'm sold as soon as they mention food.

 

Runnin dry van has just about killed my soul. I get lumped in with all the other idiot steering wheel holding window lickers and feel like Im in a race to the bottom on the rates lately with these idiots that run junk freight at terrible prices. I wont even get into delivering to warehouses and distribution centers.

 

Spot market van rates are at an all time high right now, I have buddies pulling van making more than I am with a conestoga.

 

Good morning Men. Looks like another nice day here. Gonna head home after breakfast. One of these days I might take Uncle Joe's beer fridge home to my shop.

 

I'm starting to get the impression that you're a "glass half empty" kind of guy.

 

On the topic of polish, I use the California Custom purple stuff. Free from the company is the best price for right now, but on my old girl, I'm going to have to do some sanding work to really get a proper shine on the chrome that faces the elements. Does anyone know what kind of sandpaper to use?

I know I want 400, 800 and 1200 grit to work it, but the only sandpaper I'm used to buying is that for wood working. I don't want to go and use that and ruin the metal.

 

Manly! I like!

 

@Zeviander , it kinda depends how bad the aluminum is. You can go pretty coarse. I've seen guys go clear down to 80, but took forever to bring that deep out. 320 to 400 is about as coarse as I go these days and finish with 800 to 1000. A Red airway Wheel with the blue or brown bar will usually make any aluminum look like mirrors from starting at 400 grit paper.

I use either 3M wet sand paper (the black or grey paper) flat on a block sander or just regular automotive paper on my DA sander. I usually try to acid wash whatever I'm polishing before I sand. It really cleans and opens the pours up.
