    Why do you have the insulator mount sideways?

    I didn't know which way it was supposed to go since I don't own a Dodge. The way I have it seems to work fine.

    10 months after they got it, 9 wire wheels, 2 rocker panels and a bunch of sanding later. The cab is now primed, painted and done:

    We plan to roll the chassis over to the body shop Monday and very, very carefully put them together for what I hope will be the last time. Then we can start putting things together for real finally.

    Sweet! Did you use the wire wheels for stripping paint, or rust/junk removal Tim?

    Going black on the rims or leaving them bling bling?

    Wire bruch cups for stripping down to bare metal George.

    Your rims are still blingy blingy Steve. Once we get the cab on the frame, pictures will follow.

    Sorry for the barge in Sermis.

    Tim, just the regular cupped brushes that would fit in a drill? The reason I ask is that I have been stripping my cab for paint
    Thanks, George

    George, I use the kind the screw onto a grinder. The ones you get at TSC and such last about 5 minutes. I only get wire brushes from Airgas welding supply stores. They cost the same but last about 10 times longer.

    Having written all of that. I really like a thing Harbor Freight sells. It is a grinder wheel made of some composite mixture. I used a bunch of them to get the 60 year old paint and primer off the Gasser when I took it down to bare metal. The only problem is about 1 out of every 5 disk will come apart in the first few minutes of sanding. The rest last a very long time and take the super tough military paint right off.

    The ones I have are black with orange stickers. It seems the new ones are blue:
