I don't understand the ? part.:lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

That’s okay - neither did I.

By the way - the main hazard (other than having to feed her) with dating a female of those proportions is losing your truck keys, forever, when she sets on them by accident.

Mac. :lol:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

What are you going use to scrape of the undercoating on the 36 lark? I used a chisel and some old straight screwdrivers.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

jason always shows up to straighten us out
so lets go to the beach :thumbs:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I hit the toilet OK because I have short legs, and the middle one is long. :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

The parts of underneath the body that was soaked with oil just scraped off. He just wants a fresh coat of undercoat to clean it up. But if I had to scrape it off Eastwood has this. http://www.eastwood.com/under-gone-u...17-oz-net.html
Or last time I took off underwear............I mean undercoating I heated it with a torch, and it scraped right off.
See what thread jacking does to your brain. :haha:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Got most of the Larks frame cleaned down to bare metal. My arms are killing me. Man I love my lift. It was a big help. I used a 4 1/2" grinder with a twisted wire wheel.

Can't wait to get this frame painted so I can get my truck on the lift next. Sooooooon

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Nice work Dennis. I'm wanting a 2 post lift still. My ceiling is exactly 12' maybe 1/2" less with sheetrock. Do you know the exact height of your lift?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

are you using POR on the Lark?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'll have to measure it tomorrow

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Yes the stuff is awesome :metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Looks good Dennis. After talking to you I'm looking into 12' walls. A lift may be a few years off but it's good to plan for the future.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Depending on how you build it you could go with 10' walls and a vaulted truss. On my barn I stuck the foundation wall out of the ground 2' then a 8' wall. Then I vaulted the ceiling. I'm pretty sure just the peak has to be 12'. I'm putting one in my next house. My dream house is going to have one in the floor that goes down to a basement under my garage.:metal: Like a bat cave. Full of trucks:metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Don't worry about measuring. I found the info on the web. There are several that will fit.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

WOW Killer build and I love the Shop you have going !!!!



Hopefully someday I will get my project started ahahaha





Great build !! Im subscribing to this one :chevy:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Yeah dude.:metal: I want one like that to. Never have to worry about tornados.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

That would be cool:metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I need to start looking for a hoist that goes up and down. ;)The basement under the garage has always been a dream. It really only cost 4' more of wall and the free spaning concrete floor. :uhmk:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Dennis,
How did the Lark clean up?

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Hey neighbor. Stop buy and say :hi:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

I'm still cleaning it. Did you see the pictures on page 17? I'm happy with the way it's coming out. I have to install a S-10 Diff with disc brakes next. Need to finish cleaning & painting it with POR-15 first.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

yep saw that, just thinking with your speed you would be working on your truck, the lark looked like it was ready to go back together.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Almost. Still have some time consuming things to do to it. I'm going to sand blast all the hard to get at places, then paint it. I still have to make all the brake lines, and get the S-10 E-Brake to work with the Studebaker's pull handle after I put the S-10 diff in. I'm getting tired just talking about it. :lol: Hopefully this week I'll get it off the lift.:metal:

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

keep us posted Dennis...

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

You know I will.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

Here's the Larks frame ready to paint tomorrow. Spent all day sandblasting all the hard to get places.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
 

While I was at it I sandblasted my 700R4. I sneak a little work in on my truck now and then. Especially since I was making a big mess with the blaster already. Next I'll paint it.
