After blasting I painted the bottom with POR, immediately after painting I sprayed a thin layer of primer on this. That way you can sand and paint without coming off.

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I was wondering if you'd do anything with the rear cab seam, guess I just needed to wait and see....
How much work did it take to clean up the seam after being welded? I did something similar, welded it and ground it somewhat. I'm thinking of making a profile template off the doors and trying to get a similar profile on the back wall (since the doors never had a seam to begin with). I tried to make sure my welds were hot and quick so as not to build up too much material in there, and I think it worked pretty good but I'm trying to get some insight into what it'll take to make it look good....and yours looks good. Thanks! |
Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
I'm still amazed. I always wanted to do the removable top mod to mine, but didn't have the guts! Or skills but you've got em. Looks great......more pics!!

Jim your posts are like a good book, I find myself wanting to look at the end and see how it all turns out, but I don't want to miss all the good stuff that leads up to the end. Don

At this point you are thinking is this guy crazy or what, paint the axle flanges. Well my thinking is if I take everything apart and put back together, it has given me the chance to check everything, retorque all bolts, etc. I feel a lot safer the first time out and it's just time and a little paint. If something does go wrong, it's easier to work with clean parts. This is NOT a show truck, eventhough I go to many local shows, I drive this thing everwhere it goes, it's NOT trailered, and it's been put away wet many times. This is just how I build my stuff. Enough BS
