Re: Greg65 build thread
Very nice work Alan!! What brand epoxy primmer do you use. I was using DP-90 but it got SO expensive on a budget.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Everything is looking good, wouldn't expect anything less.

Well, I don't know how long it would take others to do this repair on the right cowl. It took a little over 4 hours to make the three patches and weld them in and cleaned up. Just trying to figure out if my speed is in line with the market. The pics posted in the last post were of the first piece. the pics in this post are the last 2 pieces. |

It's been a while since I have used either DP90 or the Omni epoxy primer, but I have had a couple guys tell me they think the Omni epoxy is the old DP, prior to the LF version.

Yes all prayers are welcome. It will be like Christmas morning when I see it with paint. It will make all the work over the years worth it. |

progress pics
Left cowl patch done. I paint the back side of the patches to help reduce rust down the road. The bottom of the windshield patch was done by bending a 90 then clamping it in place then hammering it to make the contour. |

I got a chance to run up and check out my cab yesterday.Alan has made a lot of progress in a short time. He still has some work left to do but it is a thousand times better than when we pulled the cab out of that chicken house. Here is pictures from when I brought it home and three from yesterday.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Bump, just out of curiosity why did you pull the roof?? Dented, to insulate, rust prevention??? Thanks Jeff

Re: Greg65 build thread
No problem at all. After removing two roof panels I had become pretty good with my spot weld cutter. It takes a little time but in my case it was worth it.

Greg did a fantastic job removing the good roof panel. No matter how good you are at removing a panel the edges have to be dollied. While doing so I was able to dolly a few dents out as well. We thought sand blasting the roof with it off wasn't a good idea since it is so flemsy. I sanded, scuffed and treated with rust converter. I fit the roof tonight to make sure I had the edges straight. |
Re: Greg65 build thread
When I pulled the skin off mine it exposed areas that were impossible to get at. I blasted, used rust killer and POR15. No rust and protected for years.
Your cab is looking like new:metal: |

Before welding the roof on i will block it and check for dents I missed. Until then I started on the speaker holes patches from a donor door. I will repair the inner structure on the door where someone cut it for the speaker before the patch is welded.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Nice work as always.;)

Re: Greg65 build thread
Glad to see the ball is still rolling along! I agree, nice work as always, Alan. :bowtie:
|
Re: Greg65 build thread
great work alan, attention to details, most people wouldn't have bothered with the inner structure, just welded in the new panel and let it go... this greg is why you definitly picked the right man for the job:metal:carry on master for grasshopper is watching:lol:

Prepping the roof. primed the underside of the roof skin. Used a weld thru primer. Then welded up the holes, ground flat, and sprayed weld thru primer in the roof channel to get it ready for the roof. |

With Q pads installed and some dabs of urethane applied the roof went on for the last time. |
Re: Greg65 build thread
Great body work pics as usual Alan. I followed your build and I'm happy that Gregg picked you to do his truck so I can learn more. I've referenced these builds often as I've been doing my own body work. Thanks.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Love to watch the Quack Pack! Missed it last night though, had to go to a Visitation for my wife Uncle that passed away on Tuesday.
One question for you Alan, What are the dabs of urethane for between the skins? Could you use Panel Adhesive to bond the roof skin on instead of welding it? |
