i am also planning on cleaning and sanding the bed to be herculined this weekend

 

 

does anyone have bad experiences with painting parts with aerosol primer just to temporarily cover the bare metal for paint later? i know the primer is crappy and not waterproof so it is really short term but man i feel that it is gonna suck sanding all these nooks and crannies and im thinking ill just finely sand this primer and then whe its ready for paint ill lay the good primer over what i have on here now

one more thing what are u guys doing with ur exhaust manifold with ur static drops??i only adjusted my torsion bars via the lock nuts since i couldnt get the bar out to reindex them but my exhaust manifold hangs realy low and scrapes my driveway when i pull out lol...my other vehicle i feel is lower but nothing scrapes on it,,no matter what angle i take my 620 @ the manifold scrapes and its not even that low haha does anyone make an aftermarket exhaust manifold for an l20b that would help this...this motor wont be in here for long but i would like to have all the parts functional for a future project maybe lol...feel free to talk shit on my posts im not very bright and just like to hear others opinions lol....go for it...thanks guys!
