[@stevesrandomadventures9066]

Don't sell it to Tim it won't get finished you should probably just scrap it.

[@braddamron1008]

No he doesn't poor westen is gonna soon find out that he doesn't I mean he was supposed to have that guy's truck done months ago and it's still a long ways away from being done

[@ethanauwerda]

ok win are you going to start the build on the Lincoln comments swapping it and the Bruno truck putting the comments in it

[@dmaxwell95]

I say go for it with an open air sandblaster (from what I’ve seen it’d be the most effective by far) if the Semi Casual guys will let you operate one in the shop! I’ve been really enjoying these past few videos cause the truck refurbishing and modification content is my favorite in addition to the hauling y’all show and "Will It Start" content!! Y’all keep up the awesome work and I can’t wait to see how the Tratter Taxi and Blue Collar turn out!!!

[@bd5av8r1]

Semi Casual. :) You trust them with the Trotter Taxi, let them have Blue Collar. Second pick: Go to the Truck guy in TN that helped out with Blue Collar before. (Gentry) :) Gentry is doing total restos, thus the recommendation. (apologies) :)

[@bd5av8r1]

SANDING: Try "Dustless blasting" they can set it so it doesn't strip it totally down, but leave enough paint and primer attached to make the new paint adhere to it.

[@markreynolds1663]

POR15 makes an acid etch that you spray on and it will etch the paint. Just wash off. Pretty easy

[@ronlords698]

The stuff you do for your channel is not boring Bruce I like your videos you do step by step content I don't like it when there's big gaps

When I worked for a Crown forklift We used either old pieces of small tubing, or wooden dowels wrapped with sandpaper, taped it down with duct tape, electrical tape..whatever at the one end to hold it in place. It worked well for getting inside bolt holes, and hard-to-get-to places.

[@dylanhockaday9878]

Switch cabs then take that frame and the old cab and make that a pulling truck and make blue coller a show truck to hall the pulling truck

[@stevelewis6643]

Look for this stuff called ( wil bond ) u can find it certain paint stores and online it’s a surface prep it’ll do the same thing as sanding he just wipe it on takes the shine off of any paint surface Really good stuff and it makes the paint bond to it also that’ll help with getting into those hard-to-reach spots

[@561ENTERPRISE]

I hope the primer under the 5th wheel is also a sealer too. Most lacquer primers unpainted will start to rust. Not sure what to say about the crevices. Looking forward to the finish. 73's Bruce.

[@YourGodStalin]

Pretty sure they do new trucks only.

[@bowslap]

It’s a beat-up Freightliner cabover. Does nothing to promote the brands or models Fitzgerald sells….not saying BC isn’t worth the time or expense, but parts are getting harder to find for these, not to mention people still versed in working on them.

Bruce just strip those bits with a air needle scaler gun , an air bag top bits too , it may texture the surfaces so the paint has best grip , so much faster too , paint chips off it soo fast ya mind will say yea quicker sanding almost just steel in minutes

Sand blasting would be the easiest but that causes a lot of dust. The next choice for me would be wire brush. Have fun. If you do blasting I would recommend moving it outside so you don't fill the shop with fine dust.
