I sprayed it off to get all of the dust out of it that has been collecting for a couple months since I got it and started tearing it down. I dryed it off completely before putting it on the trailer. It did not get any rust due to spraying it off because I dryed it imediately.

I'm thinking about it. The body is wavy as hell all the way down both sides, so I may just leave it and straighten it when I have time little by little. Then clear it for when I take it to shows so I don't have to scrub rusty fingerprints off.

themostoriganal · 05-06-2005, 10:48 AM

there was a thread on streetsource that i read not to long ago that was about sealing bare metal. people were saying that clear coat wouldnt stick properly or something. im sure you could find it fairly easily. i think it was under minitruckin general

ectiger04 · 05-06-2005, 11:32 AM

this is the first luv i have liked, instead of studying for my math final in 20 mins i read this thread.

I have a friend that has been doing paint for around 10 years, he should be able to help me out. It is just an idea right now, I'll figure it out if I actually decide to go with it.

Thanks. That really means alot.

iLLblazer · 05-06-2005, 12:19 PM

wipe it down with wd40 before shows. should seal it from rusting.

T Baggin S10 · 05-06-2005, 12:26 PM

I did that with my frame on the S10 while it sat for 6 months. I was going to do it this past weekend, but I did not have time to go get any.

96dragginSdime · 05-06-2005, 06:32 PM

hey man didnt even see you at the show and we were parked right next to each other

T Baggin S10 · 05-06-2005, 07:39 PM

That is a member of my club. I believe his is stock floored, but I dunno, never looked at it that close. His entire frame is candy orange with alot of heavy flake, his motor is all chromed out, interior is all glassed and painted, bed is molded shut on the back and top. I only took one pic of it.

2LO2SEE · 05-09-2005, 01:39 AM

man a body dropped chevy luv, i thought i would never see the day, 2 thumbs up to you man, btw as anyone see a customized jeep comanche pick up? those things are kinda rare to even spot on the road.

downtoearth · 05-09-2005, 01:51 AM

You sould leave it bare metal on some 20's, that would be sic ass!

SammyLJ · 05-09-2005, 09:28 AM

20's with no tires and 7 inches wide may fit.

I'll have to measure exactly how much room I have.

72 Mercedes with factory airride. Heres a pic of it at showfest this past weekend...

DblPrkd · 05-16-2005, 10:29 PM

That car is amazing! what all is done to it?

_Sly_ · 05-16-2005, 10:39 PM

that things tight.. how much work u have to do to get it that low?

monzadood · 05-16-2005, 11:26 PM

man, you need another thread just for this car. that thing is too cool.i would definetely roll that with some blacked out windows.

T Baggin S10 · 05-17-2005, 12:12 AM

It has factory airride, I took the bumpstops out on the driver side front, it layed another inch and a half or so, I cut the rear drivers side bumpstop and it layed about another inch or so, after draggin the exhaust alot at showfest it layed a little more in the rear. I'll be doing the same thing to the passenger side bumpstops sometime this week. I have to disconnect two levers to allow it to lay out, but it only takes a minute or so. I shaved the corner lights on all 4 corners and the antenna. I did not have time to put all of the molding back on before the show, but it looks alot better with it on. I'll get better pics of it after I go pick it up from Shreveport Louisianna on Wednesday. I had a blowout on the highway and lost one of the hubcaps on the way home. The spare that came with the car had a crappy tire on it so I took it out of the trunk to make room before going to the show. It is at a club members moms house so it is safe. I may start a new thread here for it sometime. I don't want to spend tooo much time working on it because the luv needs to get alot of attention.

HOK makes a product called Adherto (AP-01) a clear adhesion promoter that can be applied to bare metal and cleared over.

baggedime · 05-17-2005, 12:34 AM

Sweetness. I love any old car that has minitruck-style mods on it. I still can't believe how much bondo was on that thing. I'm surprised the guy didn't try to uni-body the thing with bondo. Hell, why even "BD" the thing? Just start addin bondo to the rockers, eventually you'll get there

blackLS1 · 05-17-2005, 01:16 AM

I like the truck better dude.

illFX · 05-17-2005, 02:04 AM

Your an animal! Both projects look hott.

94fivespeed · 05-17-2005, 04:29 PM

yes, i agree with everyone else, badass. Keep up with the good work.

~~bradcarney~~ · 05-19-2005, 02:33 AM

hell yea i wanna see some progress pics on both of them real soon

blackLS1 · 05-19-2005, 03:00 AM

Lets some more luv pics

As soon as I get back to work on it. Damn shows rob my weekends that I would be doing alot of work on it. I have to get my blazer back together soon so I can get rid of it, and get the interior out of the mercedes so I can get it redone. So I should have an update on the luv pretty soon, just have to clean out the bed and cab and get back to work on it.

nfamus10 · 05-24-2005, 03:35 AM

mad props on taking the luv out to shows. some people think the only reason to show is to get a 10 dollar trophy. don't get me wrong, taking your class is cool (and the one off trophies are badass at some of the shows) but just going and taking your ride is most of the fun. you still lookin for a donor truck???

T Baggin S10 · 05-24-2005, 05:31 PM

I agree about shows.

I'm not looking for a donor truck anymore. I'm going to work on all of the body as much as possible and get it the way I want it before worrying about a motor. I'm most likely going to do patch panels in the areas that are really bad so everything is still origional to the truck for the most part. I'm planning on taking the bed back off, and the cab off to work on the undersides so I can get rid of pretty much all of the rust. I'm going to do alot more than I origionally planned so I'm taking my time planning out alot of the stuff to do in stages, and feeling like i actually got something done when I work on it. I should have another update in a week or so. I have to get the blazer back together this week, and do a few things to the mercedes, and get the rest of the small things done that I have going on for other people right now.

nfamus10 · 05-31-2005, 02:46 AM

i here that. slow and steady gets it done for good. iz gonna be badass. u gonna go to texas showdown in h-town on june 4th??

T Baggin S10 · 05-31-2005, 04:51 AM

Yes I am going. Not taking anything to show, just going to do coverage and check the show out.

It has factory airride, I took the bumpstops out on the driver side front, it layed another inch and a half or so, I cut the rear drivers side bumpstop and it layed about another inch or so, after draggin the exhaust alot at showfest it layed a little more in the rear. I'll be doing the same thing to the passenger side bumpstops sometime this week. I have to disconnect two levers to allow it to lay out, but it only takes a minute or so. I shaved the corner lights on all 4 corners and the antenna. I did not have time to put all of the molding back on before the show, but it looks alot better with it on. I'll get better pics of it after I go pick it up from Shreveport Louisianna on Wednesday. I had a blowout on the highway and lost one of the hubcaps on the way home. The spare that came with the car had a crappy tire on it so I took it out of the trunk to make room before going to the show. It is at a club members moms house so it is safe. I may start a new thread here for it sometime. I don't want to spend tooo much time working on it because the luv needs to get alot of attention.
