Looks good man, the Indigo Metallic Blue always looks great on these trucks.

People on the Stormtrack forum told me to LineX the truck to protect it from hail damage

I obviously didn't so I'm probably going to be going through hoods like I go through condoms (as if).

The skies are looking mean today.

The paint is not even a week old, and someone keyed it. At least the scratch isn't too deep, I might be able to buff it out.

Man, I would be so pissed. Hope you can buff it out

Me too! I remember when I first got my Dodge Intrepid, some jerkoff did that to it at a Walmart I was having to cover for work. Was all I could do not to yank every kid outta that place for questioning.....

So most of it buffed out (a bit of wet sanding would probably get it the rest of the way out).

At least it isn't as noticeable.

I also took some time and hand washed the truck as well as waxed it (I know that some say you shouldn't so early, but the painter said that since it's a single stage Urethane it should be fine).

So I got impatient (this pinstripe guy isn't someone you can just make an appointment with) and I pinstriped it myself.

It doesn't look too bad, but not as good as this guy can do it, so when the time comes, I'll just peal my crappy one off.

He says that he can make it look factory with the chevy emblems.

One of my good friends owns higher end vinyl cutter (not one of those cheap things) and he said that he'd help me letter my truck up with the skywarn logo on the doors as well as some other cool things.

I also found this cool Sony handyman TRV 16 Hi 8 camcorder at the thrift store recently.

It's kinda useless these days, but I am a sucker for old camcorders, and this one it mint.

Even the 20+ year old infolithium is good (if sony ever did something right, they made these batteries to last).

This thing also has that banned form of nightshot on it (you know, the type that pervs used to see through clothing)

Having it on the dash kinda reminds me of that one scene from twister.

This camcorder makes me want to buy a nice dedicated video camera to put on my dash

My Cannon Rebel T6 doesn't have on the fly autofocus while recording video, so having a dedicated camcorder would be great.

I have that exact same video camera. I have had it for years.

Jester, I asked you and another guy once before but did not get a response. what radar apps or sources do you use?

there was a radar app called storm radar that had a very detailed image with a long term 6 hour? future image. they were bought by the weather network and shut down. I started using the weather channel one and it's okay but I want something better.

what do you use for radar?
