Re: My 1965 build thread
Thanks Allan. I tried to buy it here at the paint store and they said it was discontinued.:hc: So much for the money I made today. Any ideas on where I would get a lock for my glove box. Do they have LMC for 59 Impala's?:crazy:

Re: My 1965 build thread
I majored Architecture, and Commercial Art. What do I do??? Become a Mechanic :metal: I'm not sorry though. My friend is a Architect, and I was making more money than he was, besides I can repair my own car, which saves me a lot of money.:thumbs:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Getting more done. The cab is almost sanded. I have a few little areas that still need to be sanded. If it wasn't for Mothers day I might could have it painted this weekend, at least the orange. Then I will go back and two tone it. I mounted the seat brackets. I glued the floor reinforcements on with 3M 8515 panel bond and bolted it all together so it can set up. When I install the carpet I will remove the seat brackets so hopefully the floor reinforcements will stay in place. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09547.jpg http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09548.jpg The water pump and fuel pump also got installed. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...e/DSC09544.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
When I grow up and get a 2 car garage of my very own I'm going to be a madman. Frame off restoration will be when I know I've arrived.
I can't stress how much I've learned from this thread that I'll carry with me for life most likely. Can't wait to use it.. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
No matter how old you are, your always learning something new. Even with all my experience I try to learn something every day.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Im using 2.0 and 2.5 mm I have usualy I hold it till I see just a little bit of light peak out... that usally works. so I have tried longer and shorter times. I have triled leaving the guns there a few seconds to cool... I just dont know
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
So you have used these pins in other places without any problems?
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
yeah thats what I dont understand. on the same truck too. I just cleaned up the door. I have a nasty dent on the bottom of the tail gate. and I want to get that pulled out. If that dosnt work then Im goin to cut it out and weld in a patch...

The only thing I can think of is the alloy content in the tailgate is different. I'm not a metalurgist, but I've had that problem on some new cars. YOu are using new pins right? I've tried to reuse pins and for the most part it doesn't work. The tips get contaminated. Try grinding the tips down just a little and see what that does, just curious. If you do cut out the damaged area are you hammering it into shape and welding it back in? As long as it is not rusted. |
Re: My 1965 build thread
i think I am goin to re skin it..well I am goin to cut out the chevrolet. then move it to the outside then skin it so i looks kinda like a new tailgate. but with the old letters
|
Re: My 1965 build thread
if i cut it out I think i could just fab a whole new bottom using pipe for the curve and just brake at the two seams. would be stroger and clean

An old man told me to try to learn 2 things a day. It doesn't seem like much , but add that up over a lifetime. The problem is I forget 3 things a day. I was going to say that too, but I didn't. :lol: |

Didn't get much done over the weekend. Sdailey came over and helped finish sanding the cab and taped up some of it. I finished modifying the cab lift bar so it will go a little lower and finished taping it up. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09624.jpg As the lift goes up and down it will tear the plastic some. I will just have to patch it as I go. I'm hoping to get it at a good height so I can paint the bottom pretty easy. http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/t...b/DSC09626.jpg |
Re: My 1965 build thread
