Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Hey Joe,
Sorry I did not chime in sooner. Have been working on a garage cleaning project all weekend. On the DPLF products, this is what I have done/learned. The 401 activator is for applying directly to bare metal, and requires a 30 minute induction period. Something in the chemical make up, changes in that 30 minutes to make it work properly. I never noticed the primer thinning out in that 30 minutes. I have used the 401 activator with all the DPLF I have sprayed. The reducer, turns the DP into a sealer, instead of an epoxy primer. If you haven't finished, you definately want to use the 401 on the blasted parts. I have sprayed all of my primer with a $79 husky hvlp gun at about 35#'s of air with a 1.4 tip, un reduced, and have had no issues with thickness. The tip is a little small, and causes a slight orange peel, however I will be blocking this down, later in life. My thoughts on your thickness issue are: Ambient temp too low, or too cold over night. Old product. Or maybe gun/compressor set up issues. In my business I do epoxy concrete coatings, and the products I use, definately have a shelf life, they thicken up as they get older. Hope this helps, Nick |

That would be like 2 years off. National board meet is next year. My truck has a lot to prove before it gets that far away from home. All the Okie boys should be done and broken in by then to.

The frame, engine and trans cleaned up real nice......almost ready for paint :thumbs:
How'd you manage to keep those dogs clean and dry at the car wash? |
Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
yeah after the clean up, i've been thinking about por-15......dunno.
the plan was to get it sand blasted then paint, but now I don't know..... :lol: they didn't like it, but they stayed in the truck the whole time |

Re: Our '66 Short Fleet Build
Exactly what I'm doing with my frame, but you know that already. I just have to get the rest of the body of so I can get to it.
Then again Alan's looks really sexy painted. ;) So the car wash didn't have an issue with you rolling in with a frame and engine to clean? They normally have a heart attack when I roll in with my Jeep covered with mud so I could only imagine what they'd think if I brought a frame/engine in. hahaha |

i'm thinking about trying out the Zero-Rust, it is about a third the cost of POR....think I'm still gonna get it all sand blasted first :lol: I didn't ask ;) it wasn't really greasy, mostly just dirt, other than the rear differential. there was an outlaw dirt track racer cleaning his race car there too. I had a couple guys come up and ask "what is it" I told them and they both told me that was the way to do it :lol: |

Progress is progress...Looks dam good!
We were there not too long ago with my woman's '65. Luckily there wasn't too much rust on the chassis, we shot it with Rustoleum semi-gloss black paint...:chevy: |
