Its basicaly like sealing the plastic. then you can put primer and paint on and it will stick. Thats How they paint New plastic bumpers and grills for cars and trucks that Have been Wrecked and need replacement parts.
Check it out when you get a chance...

Wash it with Hot Soapy water, Then use a plastic Adheasion promoter like Bull Dog. I noticed they started saleing it at the local Autozone and other automtive parts stores like 2 years or so ago. Before I would order the same stuff through the paint store at work.

*Subscribed* Of course I planned to come back and read the thread later, but you guys know how that goes...
Congrats on the super clean build so far!!! Any estimate as to how long until it's up and running? This thread is definately making me itch to graduate and start making some money so I can get to work on an LS2 or iron block 6.0 build in an ext. cab or, preferably, crew cab S-10. I'd like to get rid of the 4wd in a crew cab and lower it a tad. Eventually I'd like to put a 78mm turbo on it, but that invovles even more money.

Small update, i'll have some more soon though.
cpw cooling setup done.
frame welded up and plated in(I know the notch is big, but trust me it is solid)
cleaned up the frame and painted the firewall. It turned out as good as I hoped it would!
old stuff removed
to make way for these, belltech 3" leafs, extream swaybar, blazer spindles and brakes.
I have a few more things done that i'll post up in a few days, i've had no damn time, I wish I wasn't in school right now.

sorry for the delayed reply, yes they are selling them, the long tubes wont fit with ac, you would have to reroute a primary to make it work. I have the 1 5/8th mids that I will get some pics of soon. headman told me they would probably need a notch in the ac box, but it looks like they will fit fine.
