Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Ive tried it... works well but still I push and cut throug.....it happens. just hope its in a less noticeable spot..

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:lol: good enough to sell is my motto on that if it is a turn around car

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Looks slick Alan.
I really like your color combo too...

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Looks great. The trucks gonna be classy.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I'll find out tonight. I generally have good results. I'm kind of worried that metalics are piled up right there in the run. The bad thing is they are in a very noticeable spot.

:agree:

Thanks David. I don't think there is another one like it.

Sexier than socks on a rooster :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:haha:
We have a rooster from hell out at mom and dads he has 3" spurs, youd be the man if you could catch him and put socks on him! He fights back :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:haha::haha:

Alan you have no one to blame but yourself on this jacking if it takes off:lol:

"Sexier than socks on a rooster"
That's just too funny there.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Hate to say it but if the clear is fresh you could sand it blend the color back then reclear.. That spot in ther rear may be hard to see when blended.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Have you figured out the run situation yet Alan? You going to take a lot of tedious wet sanding and try and not go through or sand it down and re clear?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Man, Allan, the more I read your thread the more impressed I am with your skills. Your painting is outstanding. I had a run similar to yours in a door, luckily, I could use a block to sand it our and keep it level. That one is in a tricky spot since the panel is concaved. I know that you will make it right!:metal:

Really digging your colors. You have insired me to work on mine again and to get my shop started. I think I asked before, but what size is your home shop?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:haha:

:agree:

I'm still at work, so no nothing has been done yet. I'll work on it tonight after the kiddies go too bed. I'm going to try my damdest not too go thru, but if it happens at least I tried. I will take my time with it. I'll up date tonight with pics of how I use the putty.

Thanks aggie, glad I can impress someone.:lol: My shop is a 30x30

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I see yours at 30x30 and mine seems so small at 25x30

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Allan, I've been gone since Friday. Man your getting some work done. :metal: It's coming out really good. I like the color combo even more now, Fish Eyes, and runs suck. Don't they have a tool to shave off runs? Then color sand them out.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

No matter how big your work area is it will never be big enough. ;)

Thanks Dennis, they do have a tool like that. I don't have one, but have used one.

Ok here is the process I went thru in sanding out a run. It took me about an hour taking my time. In that amount of time I could have sanded and recleared. Then there is the materials cost. I've still got 3 more to work out. What would really suck is sand thru on the last one. With this process it can still happen, but not as much.

This is what I used. there are other products that can be used.

Apply it sparingly. It takes along time to sand it off.

This a small block I cut from a large paint stir stick. I used 1000 grit and went over it with 2000 prior to buffing.

Buffed but still needs a little more.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I had a container of that in my hand after our pm's. I think the glaze is what I really need to use. Thats a good use for it cutting those runs down.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Great work Alan. It's little tricks like these that help edjumacate us all on paint/body. Keep it up!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:agree:

keep it up!!

I saw a trick on tv to use a razor blade perpendicular to the surface and scrape the run down then you can sand to smooth it out, then buff.... any thoughts?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I have one of these, it works pretty good but ill have to try the glaze sometime.
Run Razor

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

looks like a plastic screw to me :uhmk:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

i just used this method on my bike tank. works but still have to sand

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Allan, that's a slick trick. Thanks for sharing.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:thumbs:

I'll do my best.;)

If you have a steady hand and the clear is cured good it can be done. Have to watch the corners of the blade. I've done it before and was nervous the whole time. If the clear is not fully cured it can roll up the clear and take out a chunk. A convex curve would be a little easier to learn on if the need ever arises.

;)

Hey ya'll, how 'bout some rep points for that one. Yes I'm begging.;) Out of about 300 views a day on average one person gave out rep points for that tip. :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

It was me i think because it wont let me give you any more points :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Mine is similar to it but not exactly, thats probably to hold the razor.. mine isnt that fancy the blade just snaps in :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Joe I saw that tip done on power block, not sure which show it was, but looked usefull. I think Alans would be a lot better for the novice like we all are. Keep up the tips and tricks Alan

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I try to get you as much rep points as I can Alan but it says I have to spread some around before I can give you some more. Who wants some!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

What the hell is a Rep Point??

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

same here...
I try to give them out regularly, but sometimes I forget:mm:

Dennis,
Look here
REP POINT LINKY

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:thumbs:

I hear ya brother. It happens to me alot also.

:haha:

I figured you'd bring your post about rep points back too the top. ;)

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan,
I know what your saying about the rep points...but we can only spread so many during the 24 hours or only so many on a thread...
So, take it from someone who can't wait for your updates on your rig and I hope I'm not speaking for myself but I enjoy and learn so much from your post. rep points or not......:metal:
So it's not the rep points, it's the veiws to your thread you should be aware of. over 53,000, that's way more than Joe and his steak...;)

I meen we are all still waiting on the update on the cabinets....:lol:
Thanks Alan

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

No you should have...alot of folks read your post and move on...
No one said your a rep whore did they???????????????:lol::lol:
you help a lot of folks out here. And we thank you...:thumbs:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Gotta say I don't know anything about the Rep points and I started reading your thread when you were on page 36 and I've read every post. This is honestly one of the most informative pieces of work I've ever read on the internet. What you've shown is awesome and worthy of as much rep as you want. The fact that you take time out of your already crazy busy days to share your tips and tricks to help out people, some of which in the business world may be your competitors is a true gesture of good faith. I look forward to reading the updates everyday so keep them coming. Thanks

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

:agree::agree:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I'm still confused about the Rep thing. :dohh: I read the whole thread about it. I must have missed something. What do you have to do to get a Rep, and where in your User CP do you see how many you have, even if you don't have any? Maybe I'll have to read it again, only slower this time.:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I just saw it. I have 59 reps. Wahoooooo

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Hey Alan what type of paint and tip did you spray your cabinets with, I'm wanting to spray a pic nic table with sealer, would be a lot easier, and my fence.

Also before you were talking about doing a video of how to's, anything going on with that. I have a 64 so it would really help me out!

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Thanks David, I guess since I'm not a rep whore I'm just an :aw: :lol:

I appreciate that zythen, I was to tired last night to post up anything.

Do you have it figured out now? Click on the little snow flake under peoples name on the left side of the screen where it says online/offline to leave feedback. It only allows 4-5 in a 24 hour period and there are other limitations. You'll see what I mean.

I shot oil base on the cabinets and thinned it down no more than 10%. I used my gun with the 2.0 tip. It sprayed great. When I sprayed stain on my privacy fence I used a 1.4 tip. Then stain was like water so it sprayed great also.

As far as the video goes, I just don't have the time right now. It will mainly cover repairing dents and filler work. Maybe someday I can get it done. If the sales are good I could fund my truck build, because the money tree died.:lol:

I got all of the runs buffed last night and was hoping to sit the cab back on the frame. Then I realized I've got a few things to do first like drill and mount the tranny cross member. I wish I had some headers so I could go ahead and get them in with the cab off.

Hope ya'll have a great day!!
