I actually have 4-5 guns. One for primer, one for sealer, one for base, one for clear and a mini jet for spot repair/small areas. And I have an airbrush too.

All have different sized needles and all spray a certain type/viscosity paint a certain way. Plus with a gun for each product you do not have to work about contaminating different paints, and you can use a cheaper gun for primer and sealer, and replace those more frequently as they wear out faster.

Nice pick up Linc. What size motor do the Lightnings have?

The have the 5.4 SOHC modular v8. With an eaton supercharger...

Thats right, I have heard about them, they are awesome. My Aussie "pick up" (see my avatar) has the same 5.4 motor but with DOHC. No supercharger but still good for 350hp at the flywheel from the factory. Your truck must have some monster torque.:yes:

Ok, so you have the same motor the Navigator has in... Good motors, I have a 5.4 sohc in my 4 door f150 and it is still doing great at 170k miles...

Very nice! I like the Lightnings minus the stupid tail lights and 2wd. I would ditch those FlowMasters though. Everyone and their brother has them and they don't really sound that good. I've got Magnaflows on my Mustang and they sound awesome (mine are only catback for now, sounds great but no drone at speed).

^+1. We just got these motors downunder 6-7 years ago. Wasn't a fan of the Windsor motors, but these knew ones are like a new age Cleveland motor:yipi:

How is your truck coming along ?.

Swap out those Nittos for Mickey Thompson drag radials. They hook mucho better!!!

I love the way both sound on Mustangs! Kinda favor Flows tho....


Linc: Love those Toyo tires on there! Too bad they changed the design. Im convinced the new ones are built for more comfort than performance....

Ahh they make hook a bit better, but you can get 30k miles out of the nittos, and I do not plan to swap when I want to drag.

The toyos are ok, got them for painting a truck hood and roof, so basically 100 bucks and a few hours of my time. They do not grip as well as the oem eagle tires... When I swap them out I will go back to the goodyears...

Mustakes do sound good, but it is hard to hear them when they are so far behind me...

Still working on the truck, we got super busy at work and one employee had a death in the family so I doubt I will have much free time this week. Last week of the month, gotta get the money in! Had 5 cars dropped off on fri, and I have a motorhome to fix and paint a bit of. Way too much for a week but we will get it done...

Get all the work while you can:lol:.

You got that right! I will work all night and I do not turn anything away... Most other shops are feelin' the burn, but my mad people skills (cutting deals alot these days) are keeping us busy. Not getting rich quick, but I am paying the bills! Just need to sell a few more rc toys and I can finish the big projects!
