ugh... so hot.... (spent the last two hours working on the truck *pics*)

Yeah, I spent about 6 hours yesterday waxing and detailing my new-to-me car in the 95 degree heat. You getting it ready to be painted?
 
nice NF, you did read the application temp on the primer you used right? some don't adhere well above 80* and are reccommended for 75=<
 
Looks pretty good. Did you do it all in the street? only 200 more sq feet to go!
 
Primer says to use it between 68 and 92, and I've generally had better luck with paint when it's warmer so I think it'll be ok. I don't plan on putting shoulder belts in it, I was jsut going to redo it like it was stock. Yeah, Idod the whole thing parked out there on the street.

200 more square feet... ugh.

I honestly have no idea how fast your sentra is.

110 HP mated to a low-weight chassis with tires optimized for minimal (read: little drag) to the road and a stock (read: racing quality) 5 speed transmission. It doesn't take all that long to break 100 in it. Ok it takes a while but it will go a good bit over 100 🙂 110 is something else entirely though.
 
I dunno, the truck has a 390ci big block. It makes something like 260hp and 375ft/lbs of torque, and it and will pull up hills better than, well, most anything else on the hill. I'd be afraid to try and drive it 110.

mmm I wouldn't be so sure. The sentra has a new oil change and the engine is so lubed the damn pistons are firing with the engine turned off. I'm inside and they're still turning.
