Family always comes first. End of story. But if she knows how important your project is to you, she should understand. At least your at home doing it, and not some where else having a beer with the guys. :sumo:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan I know what you mean. Me and my wife are always going at it about my truck. Sometimes she wants to work on it, but most of the time she wants to sell it.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Family first............Then Ronnie's truck..........Then your truck.......... :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Yeah, make it a family affair. Get them all involved :metal: In your dreams, huh.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Amen brother. It's a hard balance.

My wife use to help me all of the time on the cars before kids.

I see. :haha:

I would love for them to get some hands on. Their attention span needs some help. :lol:

I was born with a wrench in my hand.

I need some peace and quiet sometime.:lol: I've got a thinking problem.:chevy:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I know what you mean. It's like therapy. You must have young kids :dnd: :lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I agree Dennis it is good therapy....
Welcome back Alan...

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

2 girls 9 & 6.. They say an average woman talks 10,000 words a day and a man talks about 4,000 a day. When I get home I get to hear all 30,000 words at one time. HELP ME!!! J/K

:thumbs:

I was looking on CL tools the other day and ran across a rotisseri (sp) for $400 a half mile from my work. It was at a restoration shop and the guy was retiring. I wish I had known sooner maybe I could have worked for him to learn more about the restoration side of the business and possibaly bought him out. Anyway the rotisseri is home made and should do the job. If not I can sell it and get my money back. I couldn't have bought the metal for that price. While there he had these dollies for $40 now they are mine. He has a 14X24 cross draft booth and mixing room for $5000/booth and 2500/mixing room. He took great care of his equipment. I just can't afford that kind of stuff yet. Here are the dollies.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Nice buy. :metal:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Alan i have a couple of questions for you. I used the slick sand today and it kicked way to fast. and then clogged my gun before i could finish one bed side. any ideas... also what can i use to cut it. I don't remember what you said that u used.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I used a medium urethane reducer. I cut it about 10% if that. I don't have the can in front of me right now. I don't know if it's right, but the stuff is hard to spray unless it's cut with something. I'll try to read the label and see what it says tommorow.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

thanks. it was not a good experience for me today.. it was a huge mess. but it will sand off thats what counts.but had to clean my gun and that was bad.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I have been using them. Scott wants them. I am using 1.7 sharp.. well I cheated a little . the first coat was hot so i used a little less of the activator on the next coat. that worked great. still seamed to kick, I think it was just a really hot day today and it was to much to get out.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

What size of a tip do you use Allan? I was thing about buying a cheap gun with a 2.0 tip just for slick sand. When you spray on a guide coat do you use primer or any old paint?:uhmk:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

A couple of us have already decided Alan, when Jason gets his shop built your going to move in with him and work on our rides, That way your much closer to us.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

I got the gun from a guy that says it's a 1.7 hogged out to a 2.0. I really don't know what I have. :lol:

Have you cleared this with Jason?:lol:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Well ummm, I posted it on his thread, and you know Joe and Strodder wanted the help too. So you know how these things happen!

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

well guys I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but theres no fantasy involving yall here.

What's going on with the trucks this weekend Alan?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Ronnie is on the way up to do some blocking on his truck. I'll be working also on his and maybe mine later in the day.

I took this out of a VW it has an orange ring that has a light in it. I'd like to use it as an acc. point in my truck.

The guy I got the wheel skates from called me and told me I could have all of his old color chip books. I think they will come in handy.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Just more stuff to find a place for.:lol:

Check this link out to see what came to town today.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

How much did the guy want for his shop?

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

He was renting it for 1560/month.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

that's not too bad, as long as you have customers and not a lot of overhead.

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

That's not your overhead though. That's just the Rent. :waah:

Re: My 1965 build thread
 

Got a new shop dawg today. My daughters were driving me crazy so why not get a dawg I could enjoy also. Couldn't pass up the deal on this Blood Hound.
