Straightened the upper rail http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00524.jpg Here's a little tip. If you mud up to a joint put some tape over the joint and right on the edge to keep it out of the crack. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00525.jpg Wiped the whole thing http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00527.jpg Sanded with air tools http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00529.jpg Then hand blocked with 80 http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00530.jpg Blocked with 180 tonight. |

[QUOTE=Alan's Classic;3400348]150 is that for both sides? I'm sure it's just one. It sounds like a deal. Have you seen any of the guys work?
*Thats for one side, He's pretty good. I dont think he is your caliber. But i would feel okay with his work. * *Since the truck is at Dad's, he has a 40 year fab/welder coming over to look at it. They want to replace the entire cab floor. Alan what are your thoughts on that? |

Removed the wheel tubs. Does anyone know how good the repops are at fitting? I'm wondering if it would be more economical to get a new one. Once I removed the tubs and looked at the bottom of the flanges on the RT it was in worse shape than I had thought. If I do repair them does anyone know if there is a tool to make the square holes? This is the RT one in both pics http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00546.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00547.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00531.jpg Removed undercoating in both tubs. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00539.jpg 198 wanted to eliminate the chains. I split it in 4 places peeled the flange out and welded in a piece of flat metal to reform the flange then welded the big hole up. Both sides are done. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00542.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00545.jpg Working the inside of the LT bedside. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00543.jpg Spent more time in this area than I had planned it would take. The worm holes are from PO and the metal was stretch so the metal was tin canning. Got it stiffened back up. Then welded the holes shut. The lower corner was also pulled away from the bedside. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00548.jpg http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00551.jpg The right bedside is rougher thean the LT. Sanded almost all of the old primer off cause it had surface rust popping up all over. This is where it is at now. http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...d/DSC00552.jpg |

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
Same concept Alan, you lay a sheet over the wet paint and wiggle your fingers around and remove. Bake then clear.
* Bed is coming along great! |
Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I can actually understand all the jargon you're using now..lol
The bed looks to be in decent shape considering. How did you shrink the stretched areas? |

have you tried to use that shrinking disk?

Re: 198Plus build by Alan's Classic
I talked to Ron Covell at the Fathers Day LA Roadster Show about shrinking. He said he doesn't even quench it. He lets it cool natural. I haven't tried it yet. Ron is one of the best metal guys around. He's the one that has all the videos, and class rooms seminars.
