Long Travel BS Thread

Thats what I did

 

haha i love that thread

 

I saw this at SEMA today. Is this for show only or can you safely run the seatbelt support like this. Being able to have access to the back seat would be great on a 4 door.

 

1 gallon pre-thinned is enough for a whole truck. Dont forget primer and clear though

 

That's what I thought you meant. I was going to say 1 gallon prethinned would be WAY too much!

 

When you buy paint does it come pre thinned? not sure what that means either

 

hey that's what mine looks like! (please excuse the rust, painting it this weekend )

 

No, that's why 1 quart will be good for what you need

 

automotivetouchup.com pre-thins it for you so all you have to do is pour it in your hvlp and spray away. 1 quart per corner of the truck should be good, pre-thinned.

 

The paint shop in town here has good prices and doesn't thin it for you. what are their prices like online? Does the quart to gallon pre/post mix equal out to be about the same?

Edit: Nevermind, just checked it out. Seems to be pretty pricey

I kid, i kid.

So you are saying thats ok to build like that...

 

haha yup, my seat is farther forward cuz Jen drove my truck today, but I have one more cross tube going up across, so, compared tot he SEMA truck, mine is better built

 

as it should be. the driver for that truck was a cardboard cut out, not much protection needed...

 

hahaha, cardboard driver = light race weight

I have a third seat that is all fitted and ready to mount back there, just need to fab the mounts and tubes so it's safe

 

Anthony rode just fine back there without a seat...

 

Many 3 seater trucks are built that way. But most have a tubes going from the top of the tube that the belts attach to, to the c pillar

 

Anyone have pics of the regular glasswork bedsides cut at a angle after the rear tire?

 

thanks for posting that man...i had no idea they even did that
