Alan it is on the P sheet...after 7 days you have to scuff it and clean it before coating. Apparently it take 7 days for it to fully harden....so what do you do for a living?? I thought you worked in a paint shop, you just do the repair stuff and someone else paints? sorry, i'm nosey ;)

Like I've said before somewhere along the way, I'm a body and frame guy trying to learn as much as I can about paint. I've painted about 20-25 cars which doesn't make me a painter.;)

I'm liking it Joe. That looks good. Putting the attachment points on the other 3 sides would be great.

I was really hoping that Rokcrln was going to make/sell plans for a 63-66 tip-n-flip. I could make one myself, guess I'm just too lazy to do the legwork.

After going back through and looking at some of your semi recent pics, I think I need to break down and build a cab lift and a real dolly(instead of my wooden one). It would ultimately make my life easier.

*sarcasm/* Thanks Joe! As if I didn't have enough other stuff to do! *sarcasm\*

I look forward to seeing you make progress. Keep up the good work!

Looking good Joe. Thank you for the great OKC welcome you gave us on Thursday evening. I almost peed my pants.

I've never been to OKC in my life. We pulled into the hotel at about 9pm. I step out of the truck, set my foot on the ground, and the first thing I here is -"Who said you can park that POS there?!?!" Scared the crap out of me. It was Joe. Funny guy.

It was cool meeting you, and thanks again for the welcome. Too bad we didn't get more of a chance to chat. Don't forget to add "Hoser's Girl" to your list too... My lady's also a member. C-ya!

Thanks Joe!!
Yeah man, sucks the family was sick.....wish we could have hung out more.
the look on your face was priceless :lol:
Hope you guys had a good time seeing the sights!
I guess the trip back went a little easier, with out the extra truck behind ya, eh?
It was a pleasure meeting you and your lady. It is so nice to put a face with the text:metal:
one of these days we are going to do some road trips out west and visit NM, AZ, NV, WA, OR, and CA..........
I just added "Hoser's Girl", thanks for reminding me;)

p.s.
hope Jason didn't give us okies a bad name :lol:
