They try to advertise that belt for working body; I just wear gym shorts and a t-shirt or a hoodie and sweat pants if it's winter. Nothing going to scratch the body then (if anything, just going to help polish it at the end, lol).
One of the best episodes I've seen this show do. They've changed the one thing that always held their show back a little. They didn't walk out of the frame after saying their line. If they do the rest of their episodes like they did this one, there's a lot of potential for some really good episodes
I took that side trim off my 94 Silverado short bed but I didn't know anything about the heat gun and that eraser wheel. Holy smokes that was a tough job! I so wish I had known about this technique. I did put LED lights on it which made a giant difference at night in the desert. This project is looking amazing. Nice work U 2.
Took that stuff off of my Tahoe back in the day. I MIGHT have used a hair dryer, but definitely didn’t use a heat gun or eraser wheel. It was mostly my thumbs and rubbing alcohol. Those blisters took a while to fade away.
Kudos to the colour choice! People are so afraid of different colours so they default to black, red or blue etc. There's more than 3 colours in the world.
Now this was enjoyable, and it clearly shows you both are working on your relationship, even if it's only in front of the camera, Great work on the Truck guys, it is looking great.
I have to admit, when this show was first announced, I was very skeptical and thought I probably wouldn't be watching it. But so far this show has been epic! And now I look forward to every episode. (Also felt the same way about Music City Trucks, man was I wrong).
I wonder what wheels those are and specs/size/offset? And the tire size?! Id buy a set right now ( got figure out the rear end tubing they shorten too)..
I can understand why you were so concerned about placing that truck bed back on the truck after you cut such a huge amount of metal away - it could have crumpled like a piece of aluminum foil. I do like the fact that you can see the work of art called a rear suspension on that truck. I was a bit surprised you didn't give the paint a bit of a rub with 1600 grit before the clear coat. The orange peel was noticeable - I guess you could sand it out at the end as well.
Why not take the time to update the lighting of an 80's vehicle to a more modern lighting? I know getting the exact replacement part is cheaper, but being in the customization world you should have had access to any number of products to replace sealed beams and incandescent lighting. Looking forward to it's completion.
big big orange peel 21:25 on top of fender and why satin clear on a two tone? and choice of colors not my taste , but wheels are really nice,but colors taste cannot be argue.
I like where the truck is going but.....skipping a full paint, you're gonna catch flak. That and you shoulda explained the fenders more than we're gonna fix it and given specs on the wheels and tires.
They obviously hacked this truck.. so they gave it a hacked paint job. Of course they didn't paint the back of the cab, or the front of the bed. They advertised belts.. uh. Wut?
Should have finished the front fenders and added a cover over the rear suspension, even if its bolt on and off.. then painted the fender repair and bed cover all at once.
@Wayne Flanigan cover it up with WHAT???? Hopefully it's NOT an ugly plastic flare.. and even if plastic.. should be painted the same time as the body.
Iv been in commercial demolition and the crap in the air insulation and sheetrock marited a mask but I don't think the trade-off is for air is worth it in this application.
I don't like how that clearcoat came out. The colors are fine, but I think the clearcoat is inferior to the name brands. I don't see any depth and the shine is lacking. years ago, I tried the Eastwood clear on my daughter's jeep and it was horrible. But if you can get a decent finish with these cheapo paints, then you are going to look like a superstar when you decide to go PPG or Sikkens.
Engine = awesome Trans = awesome Brakes = awesome Front Suspension = awesome Rear Suspension = I wouldn't have sacrificed the bed but ok. Front Fenders = why not do some flares front and rear? That's hideous! Paint = Yuck. Lights = why not update them with the 92+ lights? Yuck. Overall = C+. I'm thinking Edsel 2.0.
So wish they hadn’t been so lazy with the rear suspension. Y’all could have easily made the suspension upgrades without sacrificing everything that makes a truck a truck.
I think the target is a particular kind of race truck, not your average street show pony cruiser. At least that was the vibe at the beginning of the project.

All that work and you don’t clean up and or red paint things like the core support and inner fenders? Come on guys your better than this. It’s the little things that take a build from pretty cool, to fricken AWESOME!
LOLOLOL!!! YOU guys left the bed like that??! Absolutely terrible! What is the point of having the bed on there, you cant even use it for cargo now! And you cut out that huge piece and it lost much of it's structural rigidity! You could have at least used the piece you cut out and welded it back on with enough clearance for the suspension!!! Just like I commented on your previous video where you built the suspension - although it may be cool - it is totally impractical and a waste for a pickup bed! There is a reason why it's a pickup bed! You should have boxed in the bed with a step, and you would essentially have two different sections in the bed for cargo...... Why the heck did you leave it like that. Jeezeeee!
Probably cause they built it for racing not hauling stuff.....and easier to make suspension adjustments when racing when its not covered up. Not that hard to figure out...
Good thing it has a decent engine and suspension setup, because the body is hideous. Those early headlights, that garbage chrome, Maaco paint prep, and the terrible color selection pretty well ruined it. The worn black paint and dated trim/decals looked far better than the end result. The obs trucks have tons of potential. Such a shame to see all of that work wasted.
Painted chrome is definitely worth 20 horse power!! Chrome is for metrosexuals!!! Real men don't do chrome!!! That's why you see motorcycle gangs with all that chrome on their bikes...think about it!! A bunch of dudes that ride together, ALL THE TIME!!! Uhhuh, you got it!!!!
This is a silly comment. Weren't all vehicles from the 1940s on mostly chrome everywhere? Bezels, bumpers, etc. Does that mean that all the greatest generation was metro lol! Chrome is actually a very difficult chemical process. Not too many places left that actually chrome dip car components. They have cheaper, paints that are sprayed on to look like chrome, but they aren't really chrome. I personally am not a fan of lots of chrome either. A lot of bike components are chromed because they sit out in the elements and chrome is very durable compared to conventional paints or powdercoats. But back to this guys truck --- I think they may be in the category you suggested lol.
They probably had to cut the fenders in order to fit the wheels and tires. Those OBS trucks are not very wide in the front. For Autocross and time attack type driving, the front needs wide tires to have a great contact patch for cornering performance
The color choice along with the stance, tire and wheel set up, man that is a good looking rig
Perfect timing I'm painting my 92 OBS this weekend going with the OE silver and blue two tone.
Heron Blue?
miss my 1990 blue and silver two tone

a silver pinstripe between the colours would finish this off beautifully imo. Great work guys
The fact that you have to use a heat gun on that glue is a testament to the glue itself.
Cut Off Saws Are Amazing Tools!!....The Glue Is Stronger than You Are!!.....You Guys Do Everything, And You Do It Good!!
The suspension has always been the most neglected part of performance in so many sport's car's that are adorable. Looking at that suspension is fun.
Looking at that suspension is a travesty.
Kudos to the colour choice! People are so afraid of different colours so they default to black, red or blue etc. There's more than 3 colours in the world.
Ummm... to be 100% accurate... there are only 3 colors. All other colors are made from the 3 primary colors. ;-)
@@unexcide2885 Actually true still. When you go a to a show you mainly only see Yellow, Blue and Red cars lol.
Why didn't you finish doing something to the fenders and box before painting? I was taught to do all body work before paint.
Now I'm really considering doing a 2 tone on my obs now. Thanks for the inspiration
The paint job turned out awesome. Love the color
Now this was enjoyable, and it clearly shows you both are working on your relationship, even if it's only in front of the camera, Great work on the Truck guys, it is looking great.
Ya. They don’t like each other. That’s obvious

While I do agree with you, these builds do have a time and cash budget.
Additional sanding would have made the paint take longer and cost more.
Not to mention not painting the front of the box/back of the cab
@@PhilthyHorseRacing that did irke me some.
The paint should have wrapped around.
As well as the core support
That's a rad-looking ride! Nice work guys!
Love that 2 tone combo
Gentleman Jim tribute? Colors are awesome.
If I knew you were gonna cut the bed up. I would have traded the parts bed I have that has minimum rust but almost a clean trade 😭
Just a shot In the dark I'd like to see you guys build a 3800 v6 maybe even add boost as well
You guys should building tubular core support for that truck
The black and overspray in the jambs are a nice touch, goes well with the grey interior, smh.
As long as the performance is good, I'm fine. That truck isn't going to SEMA anytime soon
SEMA If that was my paint work I wouldn’t take it to a local car show. Should have left the paint alone. Can’t. Do it right, don’t do it.
Not to mention the back of the cab/front of the box

They built it for racing not for driving to get groceries
Also not to blind other people with either.
You guys should of gone with an IFS IRS setup on the truck
I wish they done what they did but with the flare of the third gen also
Nice build!😎
Good looking ride but you didn't match the body lines before you painted and what's up with those butchered fenders ?
Next time use something to protect the glass and rubber trim. You are so close with the DA I got anxiety!
Im glad u guys actualy started doing nice builds instead of just destroying stuff making pieces of crap
big big orange peel 21:25 on top of fender and why satin clear on a two tone? and choice of colors not my taste , but wheels are really nice,but colors taste cannot be argue.
Did the brown come complete with UPS stickers? j/k
LOL
So "pro touring" really refers to the suspension more than anything,I mean there is nothing left but the powertrain.
That's the rear suspension I would like for my 98 obs.Do you make those kits or how can I get one? How much.
Great vid!!!!!!!!
I like these videos more
I need those wheels in 6 lug for my NBS build!
looks great but the paint job and all the Chrome and the two-tone looks very confused
What’s up with the front fenders being cutout?
Use sonax pretty well
Looks like my truck
I like where the truck is going but.....skipping a full paint, you're gonna catch flak. That and you shoulda explained the fenders more than we're gonna fix it and given specs on the wheels and tires.
You didn’t show painting behind the cab. Did you paint it or is there two huge places of old paint there?
They obviously hacked this truck.. so they gave it a hacked paint job. Of course they didn't paint the back of the cab, or the front of the bed. They advertised belts.. uh. Wut?
What size of tires are in the rear and front 😳
Should have finished the front fenders and added a cover over the rear suspension, even if its bolt on and off.. then painted the fender repair and bed cover all at once.

It’s a matte finish
Looked better before
Where did you’ll all get the rims from
Why wouldn't they paint the bed and cab separately
I think the only purpose was to advertise belts.
Send me that sport trim.
Are they really going to leave that front fender like that?
Dude said they had plans
Should left it the same color just freshen it up
Why butcher the fenders see trucks like that one at the races that don't cut the fenders like that
"That's disgusting." **applies filth right back on the dash**
Engine = awesome
Trans = awesome
Brakes = awesome
Front Suspension = awesome
Rear Suspension = I wouldn't have sacrificed the bed but ok.
Front Fenders = why not do some flares front and rear? That's hideous!
Paint = Yuck.
Lights = why not update them with the 92+ lights? Yuck.
Overall = C+. I'm thinking Edsel 2.0.
The guy said they had plans for the fenders
Brown?.... brown is what you get when you empty paint can remnants together to keep equipment from rusting... Mercedes medium semi flat gunmetal grey
Loving the wheels!!! What brand? And model?
👍👍👍👍👍
Love the show but hate that paint job. Wish you had left it black.
Man everything about this truck is dumbfounding then you see the front fenders and get so sad.
Like the build over all but those front fenders just look unfinished in my opinion
Go to 5:50 where he ssys they will fix that LATER, like in another video.
So wish they hadn’t been so lazy with the rear suspension. Y’all could have easily made the suspension upgrades without sacrificing everything that makes a truck a truck.

Why would you do all that "dirty work" in a paint booth? Seems like a paint blemish waiting to happen.
Wheel fitment between this, the Civic, and the Camaro have all looked terrible.
It's always sad when you see a GMT 400 get hacked like that. Gawd.
So y’all are not gonna talk about the wheels and specs ? Lol
The wheels are rocket racing attack. The specs don’t matter cause their wheels don’t even fit right

Translation: "Some people don't agree with me that this is the bestest truck ever.. OMG!"
truck sits too damn low! if you want to sit low, buy a car. the cutouts on the front fenders look horrible.
What a awful color scheme and even worse matte clear. The pure black truck looked a thousand times better.
I liked the 80's too but that colour is atrocious
*_Did they put clear on that truck looks dull and stock looking. Very not entertaining..._*
it's a matte clear
