Man that motor in the first pic looks like it has a little rust on it. Let me know if you need anything man.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I need your harness. PM my with your bottom $$. Just spent a bunch but time is $$.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Did'nt like my new paint job of the roof of my 64. Primer it and shot it again sanded it down alittle much better. Painted my fender with some slick sand. I love the smell of that stuff.:lol: Sprayed really good booth worked well. Cut out my old heater controll thing and put it in my new dsah. Should work good.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Oh ya fixed a big scrape on my drivers door. And don't forget just say no.:smoke::lol:Especially when anywhere near Rexburg.:dohh: Had to say :buh: to a good friend for awhile.:waah: Just more time and $$ and can spend on my truck.:metal: I did find out I drink way to much caffeine.:mm::lol::lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Sanded down the fenders with some 180. That slicksand is sweet. Sands so nice. Patched a come small spots with some filler, sanded them, sprayed them again with some G2 feather fill. Turned the air up to 35 worked a lot better. I had it set at about 25.Went with the black. If things don't work out so good I'm going to sand the burnt orange down to give it a patina look. So far it looks great.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave-- Pm sent on the brackets - I saw a set in the Jalopy jungle a while back, but I did not need any, So I left them . Not entirely sure if they were 292 brackets or 230/250. Hope they are still there!!!!
There is a difference. You need the style shown in picture #4 or #5 in post 1919 above in this thread.
The short radiator hose turning back under the bracket is the difference. The 230/250 does not have that short hose. Check out post # 28 - bottom picture of "Bubba's Recycling Project" http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=365170&page=2 for a picture of the 230/250 set-up
I can check Wednesday if it is not howling snow. Snowing here big time tonight.:chevy: Bubba

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You live in Idaho. Don't let alittle snow stop you.:lol: Just take a bigger shovel.:mm: I need to go sand some more.:waah: Almost have my cab ready. Seeing all these guys knocking out low riders in 6 months is really pissin me off.:lol: Of course they seem to have tons of cash. I think that helps. Oh ya and the not painting anything also helps.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

yeah it sucks seeing all these guys drop loads of cash in their truck all at once, But I guess that's how the games played. Atleast you can say that you've built yours and not someone else.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Can't wait to see it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Don't get me wrong I have no problems with dumping tons of cash in my truck.:lol::lol: It just take me alittle longer.:lol: Gotta spend your $$$ on somthing. I don't plan on taking any with me when I check out of this place.:devil: I'm not sure but I think you get 50 virgin trucks and unlimited cutting disks at the next place/planet .:lol::lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks for the pictures. Spent the whole night laughing.:lol:http://belair.smugmug.com/Motorcycle...31279370_9yNTy You do like your smug mug.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yes I do love Smug Mug. Did you check out the other pictures? Some of the galleries are made to be private because of nudity. It's Smug Mug's rules. Two of the bikes at the motorcycle show were built by my son. :metal:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looked at all the trucks. Looking for paint ideas. Orange with some flames maybe. The hot rod art and the old garages were way cool. I think I'm going to have to remodel the front of my barn.;) Guess I'll have to look at smug mug later. I have to go pay for my accuair stuff.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

3 coats of slick sand.:uhmk: Got my notch. Lots of stuff to do.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Man that looks good. Dont you want to paint it before you run the harness in there. I wonder how the wirings going to work on the guages. You'll figure it out.

I'll get it out to you monday if I can.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

he could use a seperate loom for the gauges ending intoo a multiplug so there eazier to plug intoo the main wiring
that way you can put the gauges and facia in as one unit and reduce the change of scratching and laying under the dash upside down for a long time hooking everything up
beside that you can put the main wiring in later so the colourcoding on the wires are still visible and not covered with paint

Re: Daverods project 66
 

He's getting my painless harness made for these trucks. I just didn't know how the Impala guages hooked up.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It's going to get painted first.Tomorrow is another day.:lol: Got one side of my notch cut out. Think I'll weld the inside seams. Watahyahknow I've got time I'll just wait till Allan does his gages I'm sure he has it all figured out.:uhmk: I do like the idea of just painting all the wires gray. Saw this picture on the web, thought of you Paul.:lol: Better check your paypal. Get that thing in the mail before the mice finish it off.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Haha nice pic Dave. Truck is coming along. I have the harness boxed up. Just waiting to get back to my house. And thanks again. Have a Merry Christmas.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave, just get a 59 Impala wiring diagram for your dash.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Cool thanx. I'm thinking I'll be needing that. Got the slicksand sanded with 100 grit. Ready to spray with some g2 feather fill. I love spraying. How did I ever get along without a air compressor? Changed the oil out yesterday. Need to go to HF and get a air chiesel today.;) Heating my spray room up as we speak. Wonder if I should get a Imlala dash harness?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

What are you chiselin' on???

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I put notches on my 64 used a grinder to get the rivets off. Thinking a chisel would be better. Done doing the notches just thinking about next time.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

You need to quit messing around and get that harness figured out.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

errrr:censored: A learning day. Things learned.
1) Just because they give you 4 tubes of hardener doesnt mean one tube per qt.
2) Make sure to open the air hole thing on the lid of the spray gun cap. (I think I already learned this once before).:lol:
3) Always have some extra hardner laying around.
4) Laquear thinner thats been sitting in open air for days is'nt laquear thinner any more (it's water).
4) Learn the proper way to clean your paint gun.
With all that learned I'm worn out.:lol: I did manage to get one coat of G2 on. Took about 3 hours.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Hey Dave learn to clean your gun. My buddy that went to school for paint and body always keeps a little cleaner in his gun after it's clean just in case.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

used to work as a automotive painter we filled the gun with thinner screwed the nozzle loose held a finger or rag over the opening and shook vigarously while triggering the air ..... those where the older paintguns with the cup underneath i dont know if that works on the newer guns with gravity feed
gave a hell of a mess but it worked whell after that we took it apart firther and used the rag to get most of the rest of the paint off

as for hardener ..... one pea size blob hardener for every golfball size filler too mush hardener and it whont set

Re: Daverods project 66
 

That's what I do to my gun then take it apart to make sure it's clean.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I did fill it up with thinner I just never took the tip off and cleaned the needle thing. I think a piece of teflon tape got stuck in there some how. I cleaned them good with some fresh thinner ready for round two. Well, as soon as I go get some more hardner. Sanded down what I did with some 120.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yeah why not. Good idea

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looking good :metal::metal:

I like the simple notch. I'm thinking about the same for my truck :ito:

That dash is way cool too!

Keep up the great work and keep the pics coming :metal::metal:


Tony

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Just wondering how it would plug into the painless harness?:ito: My arms hurt. Drilled like a million holes for my notches. Pan bar really sucked should have just welded it.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Take your bed off when you do it. Makes way easier. Got mine off ebay for 90 plus shipping. Plan on doing a lot of drilling. Get some good new bits.;) Easy to do. Just grunt work.:lol: Round the corners of your cuts so the frame won't crack.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'm sure you can splice it in. :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanks for the tips. Are you welding yours up too? I was going to weld mine and just use a few bolts. Also, my drill doctor is one of my favorite tools. I've got plenty of sharp drill bits :metal:


Tony

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ya I'll weld the inside. I'll have to look up the drill doctor.;) I could have used the doctor today. I did put the floor jack under the drill a couple times really helped.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Huh, floor jack, I never thought of that one :metal::metal:



Tony

Re: Daverods project 66
 

on the old the vilbis paintguns you could unscrew the air adjustment remove the spring and pull the needle out of the back of the gun to clean it (carefull theres a foamrubber like seal there to keep the paint from spitting out the back ) and they had a nifty tool to unscrew the nozzle itself behind the head , we had small pipebrushes to clean the nozzles if sumtin like that happened the nozzle is a precicion thing you dont stick metal objects like screwdrivers in it or you ruin it and it wil spray and sputter the weirdest patterns
