Riiiiiiight Don......

Let me know a bit more about your mates rear lights.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Bought a DA Sander from Eastwood at the end of February... Used it very little, and this past weekend it wouldn't work when applying air...:banghead:

Got on the Eastwood site, clicked the "Live Chat" button and explained situation to Customer Service Rep... Pushed it over to Tech Assistance... The Tech guy immediately advised it sounded as if it was some internal problem with the item and issued a replacement order...:bann:

Small problem solved rather quickly...:uhmk:

Eastwood Company...:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I just bought one of their spray guns..hope it works as well as they say it does. lol Glad you got your new toy fixed quickly brotha. :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Man.....I hate it when new stuff doesn't work. At least they are fixing the issue!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

:metal:

Glad they were quick to resolve the issue... the reason I went with that DA is because it only uses 2.8 CFM and since I have a single stage compressor, that is well within the air usage my compressor can handle...;)

Just think how crazy it's going to get when the govment (misspelled purposely) raises the minimum wage? :thud:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

I've had real good luck with Eastwood and I use a lot of their products. The truck's coming along great Don. :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Eastwood has been good to me as well.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Did you check the position of the small lever on the left side by the handle (if it has one). Mine seems to have flopped down to the closed position every time I go to use it. It might be something as simple as pushing the lever up against the motor and it will fire right up.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Man!!!

Diggin' their products and customer service as well!:uhmk:

I don't remember a small lever on this one… will check tonight, but I m 98% positive there wasn't one… Thanks for the input! …and thanks again for the bits and pieces! :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

With Mother's Day yesterday and Stormy Skies today… no truck time, other than chasing parts, i.e. headers… Pics to come later…;)

Got this Tee off one of the FB groups for 60-66 trucks...:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Yes it was a selfie in the mirror because I didn't like the way the pics turned out when I tried with the lens facing me...

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Nice t shirt Don you could always get someone else to put it on then take there picture just a thought

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Maybe like a pretty girl!!! haha

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Shirt is on backwards ;). BTW really liking the look of those tail lights. They fit the rear end really well I think.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Shirt is a beauty, the guy wearing the shirt... yeah, he is a beauty too...
Loving the tail lights too:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

After I posted this, the admin of the FB group for this forum edited the pic and flipped it so it reads right...:mm: maybe I will edit this, then again, maybe not...:lol:

;)

Thanx Brotha!!!:metal:

Thanx Man!!! :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Martin over in the UK scored a sweet print at a swap meet and was kind enough to email me a copy…;)

Then as a surprise he mailed a very good copy of his print...:metal:

Here's a pic of the original, then a colored version I did of the digital copy he sent...:mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

WOW!!!!!!! Looks good brotha! :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Really nice work

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Have seen those, as well as other versions, at the swap meets around this area before. Pretty cool!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Guyz!!! :mm:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Another few steps forward…

Picked up My "new to me" Headers, cleaned them up and shot VHT Header Paint on them…

Had to take a pic of my dusty arm… Got the Fender I repaired ready for primer…

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Colored puc looks great Don.

What did you use for the coloring??

Reminds me of those pics Nicola took of my truck.


Your headers seem a bargain and have come out well.

Had a busy weekend myself.

Building this..... http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread.php?t=1072873

And scored a block and tackle for the garage too (free)

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Picture looks great Don. like the headers got the same VHT paint ,must do mine at some point

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Your body work is looking mighty fine. The tail lights are really cool as do the headers.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Free is always good!:uhmk:
Thanx for the compliment on the pic...:mm: I use Prismacolor colored pencils… That was a quick color study, and I plan on making a few adjustments on the final one I will display in my Workshed...:bann:



Thanx Martin… The poster you sent will be framed and proudly displayed in my Tattoo Work Station...:metal: I ended up using 1 can per header...;)

Thanx Brother!!! Fairly pleased with the fender after shooting a coat of rattle can Primer, although there are a couple of small issues that I spotted with the primer applied...:dohh: Just get to do some more sanding and break out the Dolphin Glaze Putty JMo hooked me up with. :metal: Then will be ready to shoot some primer onto the fenders… next up… Finish the inner fenders to get them in primer, then it will be time to tackle the Driver's door...:sumo:
Have a Blessed Day Brother, hope you can make it up this way soon!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Scored a set of doors cheap… ;)

After looking at the amount of time I have in repairing one fender, I decided to pull the trigger on these doors.:mm: I will do some learning on my doors in the future. :uhmk:

These are close to being ready to put together and hang as soon as I get the cab re-mounted...:metal: just gotta address the mirror mounting holes and the custom trim holes...:chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Nice looking set of doors. Congrats on the score.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Looking good, lots of great progress:metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

x2! :metal:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Nice set of doors brotha! :chevy:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Thanx Guyz…;)

After looking at the amount of time I put into the one fender...:banghead:
Which was my first attempt at a major rust repair… I decided that $125 for 2 doors would be a wise investment. The time savings alone makes the price bearable. :bann:

Plans are to get truck drivable...:metal: then hone some Metalworking and Body Skillz on the doors that were originally on the truck...:uhmk:

Thanx again for looking in on me… Plans for a busy upcoming Sunday and Monday...:uhmk:

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Do you want your money back? (haha) Nice score on the doors bro. I am ready to see them mounted!!!!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Ready to cry in my beer !!!!!!

Those doors are a great score.

Martin bought what was probably the only one for sale in the UK for $170 and we thought he had done well.

Serious score mate.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Man you gotta deal on them doors.
I agree sometimes it is better to buy a perfect part rather than spend days or weeks trying to fix things.

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

Exactly what Bomp said !!

Re: Donz '65 SWB Stepper Budget Build...
 

nice doors bro. can't tell about the mirrors but they look like car mirrors from the same period. you might consider running them.
