Re: Daverods project 66
 

I would flat clear the whole thing for durability and shiny clear the flames. Did I just invent he term "shiny clear"? I think I coined a phrase. Anyway, you won't be able to color sand or buff the flat clear because it will start to get shiny, so your not getting yourself into a bunch more work. Do a test. It's the only way to see before pulling the trigger. Oh, it's about the time of year where I mention how cold it's getting down here in Vegas. This is where you give me **** and imply that I'm a puss.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I did notice it warmer here at night then in Florida.:lol: I kinda like the cold. It's better then heat. You can always just put on more clothes. I think I would miss the snow. I like to sled and snow board too much. Maybe when I'm an old #uck I'll think different. Sorry Strodder.:lol: I think I need to do some paint testing.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I would spray a flat clear. It will fade and start to look chaulky if you dont. Oh and I through in some wire loom in with the harness.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I'm not sure, but I think that the Hod Rod Flatz should be ok. I'm not a fan of flat myself, but as long as you use a paint that is made to take the elements and has UV protection it should be fine. Like I said I like shiny, but diversity is what makes our hobby great. Great build, keep up the good work. Also your local paint supplier should be able to answer any questions you have.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

How did you know? :lol: I was too lazy to look for it.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Here's our house we had in Vegas. Yes it gets cold there. :mm:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I think the Hot Rod Flatz is made not to be cleared. It says its sealed. If I was going to clear it why not just use normal paint that can be sanded and then clear it. I'm not to worried about it fading or chalking. I am worried about how tough it is. I want to do a test piece and then rub on it to see how much it can take.:uhmk:

Geez Dave, you are reading the directions?
Then the gas mask respirator must be working !!!:lol:

The truck is looking great !!!!:chevy:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Oh by the way. That UT burnt oranage sure looks good.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got a big box of pampers today.:metal: Thanks Paul.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Gave up on the gas mask idea for now ,bought a throw away resp. It was cheaper then new cans.:uhmk: And quicker then the mask thing.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Don't look now but in the second pic I think your duck got away.:lol: Nice house. Looks easy to build. How many Sq/ft?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I wonder if that's Bonnie floating in the pool. Oh and your welcome for the Pampers. I figured you might need some. I found some wires that go to the head lights. Didn't know they were still on the front clip. I'll get them in the mail to ya.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

2400 sq. We liked the house, but hated Vegas. We only lived there for 19 months. And made a ton of money. We got out just in time. Then the housing market dropped. :metal:
BTW #uck that duck :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It's always good when you count your money by the ton.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Thanx Ruff. Reading the instructions now. Are u sure its painless. Looks like it going to hurt.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

We bought the house for 305,000 tons,and 19 months later we sold it for 500,000 tons. Who says you lose when you go to Vegas. :haha:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

It snowed here today. Flurries mostly, but I guess it counts for Vegas snow.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Put my bed back on by myself. Well, the dog tried to help. Made a shifter knob.;) Now if the snow would melt I could go test out my new notches. Thinking about putting a rear sway bar and moving my rear shocks.:ito:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave do you have a switch for each bag? If you do you don't need a sway bar.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I Like the shifter . What happened to the shingle hatchet you had for a while as a shifter???
I built a Shifter knob from a brass door knob once , Poured it full of lead and then drilled and tapped it . ..
Worked good and looked cool but it was always too darn COLD in the winter when you had to shift !
I took it off and went to a 8-Ball The plastic felt warmer..:chevy:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

I got the accuair for my 66. I was thinking about the sway bar for my 64. It just has jeep springs for now. If I put bags on my 64 no compressor do you think I would need a rear sway bar?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

When I bought a new shifter I got rid of it.:waah: Had to cut it off.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If the bags will be conected then you need a sway bar

Hows the one in Ca compare? I was thinking about moving. Place up north called Weed:lol::lol:Sounds like a nice town. Maybe give up construction and start farming. Or maybe teaching I do have a teaching degree.:lol::lol::lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

The house here is 1800 st. Just right for only 2 of us. It's a newer house to and much nicer on a full acre. Vegas was only half acre. We paid cash for it, but took a loan to build the shop and remodel the bath. Got a very low house payment. Remember i'm supposed to be retired. Yeah right :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

hope everyone has a great new year .
about the shifterknob if it gets too cold to touch maibe its an idea to dip it in bedliner , get it covered in rubber at least .
if you dip it in red/chevy orange and detail the machined surfaces of the cam in silver (or silver and detailing the low bits in red so it dont rub off ) people can still see wat it is , never seen a shifter like it and i like the idea

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Maybe I just won't drive when it's cold out.;) Happy new yr.:metal:

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
 

that's cool dave. I wonder how the truck looks with the patina.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Got sick of sanding on my truck. Thought I would change out my upper and lower ball joints. One was bad, I think that is what was causing my high speed wobble.:uhmk: Did'nt get to crazy cleaning, this summer I'm putting lower spindles and disks. When all else fails get the BFH.:hc: Have to wait till weds to get the lower ones. Might have to clean and paint.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

3 rolls of peal-n-seal should have got one more roll.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Where did you pick that up at. I need some for my s10.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Lowes 14 a roll.;) Where's your s10 build?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave, ya know since the front end is already apart ,Now is an EX-cellant time to just put on the disc brakes............:but: it will save you having to tear apart those new ball joints and having to pay for alignment twice..:chevy:



When you get that done ,you can go back to sanding and Love it!:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

he does have a point , diskbrakes would improve the braking a lot , not sure anymore but i think you need to change the mastercylinder too or the calipers wont loosen again after braking , ask someone who done that more recently
