I got the rear end completely cleaned up and then I sprayed it with some rustoleum, turned out good enough considering its going to be under the truck. Today I spent a few hours on the firewall and it is pretty much ready to be sprayed, I should get it sprayed in the next few days depending on the weather.

I also did some work at the metal shop in my school, I turned this piece of aluminum on the lathe and polished it up and it looks almost like Chrome! It's going to be part of the missing bracket that allows me to mount my unity spotlight to the window pillar

Morning Mate
Been keeping an eye on you. Great progress as always. Also with being back at work and writing up my USA Road Trip report the last few weeks, I just did not reply to many threads. |
Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside

Well that progress was short lived, after I finished the painting on Friday I headed of to work to let it dry on the nice sunny day. When I was at work the weather started to change drastically and started to pour rain for 10 minutes. I just dried of all the water now and about 80% of the paint job got watermarks all over it. So I'm going to wait a while until the paint fully cures and try wet sanding it, I'm really hoping that it'll work and I don't have to redo it.

Made some more progress on the rear end today, I rebuilt the rear brakes with new shoes, wheel cylinders and springs, since I used the 78 backing plates and brakes I ordered the wider 2 3/4" shoes, so now its upgraded a bit better than stock |

Been making lots of little progress, just not much picture worthy... But I did get the heater all assembled and installed on the truck for good now. Tomorrow I'll be finishing a pushrod for the brake booster.

Yesterday I finished up the brake pushrod and installed the booster for good. For the pushrod I welded part of the old one to part of the new one, it's threaded and has a locknut so I can adjust the length if needed

I welded a nut on to the diff cover and put a short bolt through it with an o ring for making oil filling much easier.
