Looks good Dan. I think i will try that paint on mine. Does it come in any other colors than black?

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Yep, many colors, OE tractor colors. Ford/ new holland blue, Caterpillar yellow, Red, green, silver, etc. pretty stinky stuff:smoke:

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

I worked on mine a little today. Maybe soon I can get a few parts on the frame to the paint stage.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Frame is looking great, nice job...Jim

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

All those neat colors and you went with black?!? :uhmk:

:lol: I was thinking John Deere green would clash with the blue exterior paint :uhmk::lol: Maybe Caterpillar yellow like our fork lift at work would match, better consult the wife. My daughter thinks I should paint it purple (yuck) I guess I am a pretty safe boring honkey so a black frame it is. I want to paint the trailing arms, control arms, pan hard, and sway bar a silver or charcoal grey. I will call you next week about that seat... Can I have your biscayne now that you are done with it ?:smoke:

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

Looks good! I made the mistake of painting a frame yellow one time........ Ended up sandblasting that amarillo crap off and painting black later hahaha

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Nice work on everything and great fab skills. I really like your wheels are they vintecs. You'll be passing my project up real soon I think

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

I should have done that to mine. Turn the frame over and mount the front cross member. It would have been easier to install the bolts instead of laying on your back. I need to watch this one. For more ideas.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Cool I saw your notch progress. She's looking good.

Thanks Jim

Thanks Mike

Thanks Daniel

Thanks Kyle, I love your truck!

Yellow :uhmk: Thats funny lol

No actually they are Budnik Famosa, they look identical to the Billet specialties Vintec to me. I wondered if they were made in the same place and just got a different cap depending on brand?? I attached a couple pics, #1 is the Vintec, #2 is the Budnik Famosa.

I doubt I will pass you up :lol: I have some time off work for the holidays and school is out for a few weeks so I am trying to get the chassis together.
I am pretty slow:lol:

Yeah it made installation easier but now I have to con my neighbor into helping me flip it again :lol:

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Im stuck inside with my little princess who has the Flu? Maybe get some time this evening once the wife gets back from Christmas celebration #2 of 5. I sent Porterbuilt an email to order their fully adjustable trac bar. So here is a pic of it.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

I'm not done with the Biscayne quite yet - that was just Phase I. :lol:

That seat is there anytime you're ready for it.

I thought lola was perfect already! New dirvetrain? LS2 T56 swap would be the bees knees!


Fixed on the ol frame a little this afternoon. Georgia had a disgusting tow bar hitch contraption welded, more like melted, to the frame so I had to sacrifice a small piece when I removed it a few years ago before I started the rebuilding.
I traced the profile on Suspect's frame (thanks again buddy) and cut patches with the plasma at work. I love the plasma! I Need one at home. Here are the pics, tacked on, welded smoothed, and a little primer. There is still a hair of the old weld on the length of the frame I need to smooth out.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

The finish work..

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Brought my wheels in just incase the blizzard hits in the morning.

Merry Christmas!!

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Looks like its coming along good! keep up the work, and I've used tractor paint several different times in the past and it does work well!

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"

Haven't looked in on ya in a while, but your build was one of the first ones I ever read. lots of good info. Merry Christmas, and you will love your PB trac bar, I have been really impressed with their quality.

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Hey Dan,

Happy New Year!

It's been a while since I've been on here. Looks like you are making some good progress; wish I could say the same. I have not been getting notifications of your updates, and I have not been on here for a while.

Nice job on the frame fix, and I am so jealous that you got some last minute Twinkies. I love Twinkies. Nice wheels also!

I have been sidetracked with a major home improvement project, and a major lack of motivation, but I am trying to get re-motivated, and hopefully perusing the board will help me.

Hopefully I'll start getting your updates sent to me again, and maybe I'll get my butt moving on my project soon.

Darien

Re: Rustbuket 67 build "Georgia"
 

Looking good, Dan! I need to practice welding a little more to get up to par with you. I spent 15 hours a day on my truck "Lucy" over the week of Christmas and had to go back to work for some rest so i know how ou feel. I'm seeing a little light at the end of the tunnel on this project, but I can still see the bottom of my wallet unfortunately.
