You are 100% correct.........you know the numbers!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

keith, Truck is looking good!
if you dont mind me asking where did you get the dolly's from. I have seen some at harbor freight, but just curious, where you picked those up from, and are those the same dollies that are supporting the jackstands in previous pics.

Thanks

Heath

Lookin' good Keith!

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I picked them up at a local swap meet and they are the same ones that are supporting the jack-stands.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

I've been trying to figure this one out w/o publicizing anything. Tonight, for some reason ;), it hit me. Just for you, my 'latest' project now has a female name.....


























STELLA . . .......

Re: Hazel the older Sister....

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I don't think we have a flat enough road to drive that on here:D

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

man that hurts my head thinking bout how that works, and how well it would work....?????:confused:

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Looks like the shocks "lay down" when the bags "air up". I'm pretty sure that won't work.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Looks like it'll work to me.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

Guy's (SCOTI/n2billet), I think Heath was able to pull the information you might need in relation to the KYB shocks. Check it out...

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

well deserved ttt

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

hey n2billet,, can you help me out, new to the truck scene, what do you mean scuff and spray, and cover in laquer thinnner? gona do my truck soon and really like your methods, scotch brite brillo pads? or the green pads, and what kind of spray can paint u reccomend........ thanks any help is appreciated.....

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

I know this drill well.... Scuff & spray is just that. You want to clean everthing as much as possible using a Scotchbrite pad (green or red) & some cleaner if warranted (SimpleGreen or similar). This frame was very clean so it didn't require the SimpleGreen step. It was scrubbed, blown off w/an airhose, & then thoroughly wiped down w/some shop towels soaked in thinner to degrease everything.

For color, we like to drive these things which means stuff will get chipped/scratched & we want to be able to do quick spot repairs. The frame/suspension are coated w/Krylon industrial semi-flat black (available @ places like Grainger & Fastenall). Easy to apply, dries fast, but is not bullet proof.

If there's any hint of rust on your frame (none on this one), use a DA sander on the outer surfaces to remove as much as possible (all of it if possible). A large diameter wire wheel on a drill will help get stuff off the inside surfaces.

Just wipe everything down w/thinner or degreaser prior to laying down your choice of color. Use 'lint free' towels too to keep things free of lint trash.

Re: Hazel the older Sister....
 

SCOTI is right, that is a fool proof way to prep one if you are going to drive it and not make a trailer queen. For the paint, I have used Rustoleum Semi Flat Black that I got from Home Depot and was very pleased with the results. Same as the Krylon, tought but not completely bullet proof.

I hope the we get to see more of Hazel soon, I know he has other more important things on his plate right now.
