sent you a pm about the grill

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Bought this the other day. I'm going to use a bathfan in a box then run a hose from the box to the mask. Fresh air for cheap. Pretty sure I'm going with Hot Rod Flaz burnt orange for a paint color. My 66 was orange to start with so I guess it should stay orange. Ordered some Porterbuilt hinges and some patches for my fenders(still waiting). Went to some yard sales picked up a couple more fans in my paint booth room. It kicks out some air. Got all my little stuff I did'nt want to do done( new control box in my hot tub, new oil pan gasket,rear seal,painted headers,trans gasket,shifter seal, on my f250) Be glad to get that frickin Ford out of my garage so I have some room. Works slowing down so now I can get some stuff done.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That would work good when you have gas also. :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol:I can think of a couple good uses.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Saw some cool trucks today. A old 51 on bags got away.:lol: You know Strodder you should keep your mask in a plastic bag the cartridges only last so long when exposed to air. Probably to late, in your case the damage has been done.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That is one heckuva gas mask.. Army surplus???
Looks like something you would use with bottled air.
If you have a bath fan in a box, I do not think you'll have much pressure at the mask,
Try the central vacuum exhaust instead. Or the helium tank.
C'mon--answer the door on Halloween wearing that!!! Scare the Kids!!

Re: Daverods project 66
 

you mount the fan in a box put a vent in it set it outside in some fresh air. Most those fans kick out about 80 cfm should be plenty. If your breathing that hard your not painting. Read about it in the paint section. I guess it works? we'll see. Cheaper then a real fresh air supply,better then buying organic cartridges all the time. Firefighters mask.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

it should work , you might need to put in some sort of valve so youre not recycling the same air in and out , it might allso be handy to put some of those helmetvisorpull off thingies they use for offroad racing on there too so you can see through the paintfog after some time in the booth
you might want to test if the inside of the visor fogs up over time too once youre painting it gets hard to do sumtin about it

i think hooking it up to the compressed air trough a filter reduser and two airhookups (one for the mask one for the paintgun) would work best alltough it smells bad you only dragging one airline with you hooked to youre belt and a small line across youre arm to the gun , less stuff to drop intoo the fresh painted roof or door

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave, your Impala dash is looking good. It looks like you have worked on it since the last time saw it. :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Never really thought about the hose getting in the way. I think I'll run it down the leg of my paint suit. That way I can trip on it and put a nice hand print in the fresh paint.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I don't really like the square edeges I made on the center part. I guess I never looked at yours close enough. How do you get the round edges? I'm thinking about doing buckets seats and some sorta center console. Not really sure if I should build it now or do it later out of glass.:ito:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I was thinking about some pipe that was cut in 1/4. But the corners would be a pain. I better look at your some more.;) Allan one of these days in your spare time you need to make a index of your thread.:lol: Sprayed some slick sand new gun and tip worked great.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Took a trip up to Spudtrucks place. Got me a tailgate for my 66 and a rear bumper for my 64. Thanks Spud. Even took my for a ride in his truck./ Can't wait to get my 350 going.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I love my little paint room. I just make a big mess, flip the fans on, crack the garage door, little air hose action and clean shop.:metal: Welded up some rust holes that where hiding under bondo. Sprayed it down with some rust stop along the seams and on a few rust pits. First skim of mud. I'm pissed I threw away my bumper brackets when I got rid of my farmer bumper.:dohh::censored:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Kinda like these but patina look, with black under it ,flat paint, with clear coat or ghost flames. And I'll get some stripper cages and some Hooters girls chicks too.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Anybody smart enough to turn this truck orange?:smoke:Bam, Ok how about some flames and more patina and a door logo. And put it on the ground.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It sure doesn't take you long to get started on stuff. It looks like you got right to it. Hope it was what you expected. It was good to finally meet the infamous Daverod. Looking forward to someday getting down your way and seeing your setup. Keep up the good work.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It was expected.;) It will be good practice and it's be good enough for what I want it for.;) And the price was right.:lol: With my new air tools I'll have it in slicksand in a couple days.
