What did you do to your NBS GMT800 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Hoping this rust metal primer sticks good to the aluminum, I probably could have roughed it up better, but if it runs long enough for the paint to start peeling I will consider it a win, lol

I usually use a 'self-etching' spray primer for magnesium & aluminum.....

Now with that said, what was the unforeseen event?

It's deep, bro. I'm kinda scared.

1/8". They were maybe an eighth away from touching.

I tried to let it go when I saw it last night but had to set The Universe straight this morning cuz I'm fighting odd vibes due to an unforeseen event that took place on my way to the gas station an hour ago.

Whew! Moving on...

thanks. Sometimes one is just not thinking about the least common demonomitaor and simplifying fractions.

Hahaha!!! I would be too!!! One does not just find a random 10mm socket by coincidence. I would lock all the 10mm sockets you own in a safe and toss the key!!

Oh, don't try to be smart now and throw all them syllable-laden terms at me.

Good to see you back! I bet that was a great road trip. How long did it take you?

The whole trip was right at 80 hours. I've driven coast to coast a few times before so I just hammered through this one without stopping at any sights. I had to keep the speed around 60 mph so it was 18 hours of driving, stop to sleep 4 hours and shower, then another 18, for a little over 3 days.

I listened to about half of the audiobook version of David Foster Wallace's "Infinite Jest" along the way.

I read something about that, and then decided to just smear on what I had. Realized afterwards I forgot to add hardener to the red, so I'm not real confident in this paint job, lol

Nice. I took that ride back in 2017 hauling 2 lambos coast to coast. Took us 6-7 days iirc. 1 day to fly back lol.

I used Hammerite crinkle finish on mine. They’re finally starting to peel a little after 2-3 years. I just cleaned them with laquer thinner first.

Bought a new lower radiator hose. GM Professional, it came with a protective cover in the middle.
