Never Doing Another Project !!

As a former body guy I have to ask, are putting body filler direct to metal with no primer? Its hard to determine from the picture.

 

Yup. I blast it with a spot blaster, then use Eastwoods metal wash then putty. If this were a "show" vehicle I would have put epoxy primer on first

 

nice work.

 

Working this weekend to get the hood and fenders ready for paint. The hood im using had a 3 wing hood badge so the hole needed to be patched












Exciting stuff eh

 

It is to me, I need all the info I can on welding up holes!!!

 

Today I put the seam back in the other fender and welded up some holes

 

very Nice

 

I love it, nice work.

 

No spray room need here

 

Wowza!!!! You work fast. Love the bright red.

 

That sounds fantastic. Nice work

 

sounds like a little bit of carb tweaking is in your future....but puurrrrrrs nice at idle....growl...

 

Sounds great! Btw, I like the stove in your shop, I'm jealous. . .

 

Starting to go back together

 

Looking great

 

Started making the wiring harness today. I can do this all day

 

An Hr of masking for 10 minutes of spraying

 

So I got 2 radiators with the truck , the bad one has a flatter top and is about 1/2" shorter to top of filler as the more rounded one I used is. I noticed the hood hit the cap and wouldn't close. I took the flat cap off the other radiator and replaced the latched one with it. So now hood closes with a about 1/8" to spare but the hood is hitting the fenders now.....touch up... grrr. I'm hoping after putting on the weather seals it will help.

 

This weather strip adhesive instantly dissolved my paint.. WTF
