Think a qt will be enough?;) Did'nt you have a problem with the shine? I'm going to get semi gloss?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yes, but it might have been because I didn't mix it good enough. I think a qt should do it if you use a brush. Just make it as smooth as you can with the brush. Watch for runs. :uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Least you have some nice wheels and tires.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Wheels maybe but i wouldnt look too close at the tires if your impressed with them ;) :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Well they look good from the side. :lol: I'm going to see if I can get 20" to fit. I like the looks of yours.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:haha: thats what she said..

Yeah i like them because they are simple and not too blingy.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

If you guys are just feeling broke this month yall are doing good. I'm always feeling broke.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Dave, there always good deals on E-Bay, or Craigs List. People are in dire straights, and are giving things away.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Least you have a job and steady check.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Finally got my 64 running again. The oil pan gasket kicked my a$$. If anyone is thinking about doing this job be prepared. I had to jack up both sides of the motor up about 2" still could'nt get the pan off. Ended up just cleaning it up while it was still in place and put the new gasket on. When I went to put the engine mount bolts back on I stripped one.:waah: Good thing is they only cost about $6. Filled it up with royal purple and ran a can of sea foam threw it. Runs great no leaks. I'm a happy camper;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Not for long though. I'm getting a med board so I'll be out in about another 4 months.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Well then you won't have a job but you'll still get a disability check and unemployment forever. Look on the good side you should get a lot done on your truck. Get started on the body work, muds cheap. Could have a bad back and no checks or health insurance.;)

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Yeah could be a ton worse..

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Decided to go with the POR15 for my frame. I think I made a good choice.:smoke: Auto paint store had it in stock. Paints on really nice, kinda like water. Just have to watch for runs. Qt should be plenty for my frame.

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Get it on your hands and it has to wear off so look out :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Ya I figured as much. Laquear thinner cleaned it right up. Paint guy said to put plastic over the can before I put the lid on or I would never get it off again.:uhmk:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol: yeah that would be about right, then the next time use a screw driver and knock a hole in it :lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol::me:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Painted stuff all weekend. . Took about 3 coats of por15 to get it to look right. Painted my engine and trans.:uhmk: . Still need to box in the back of my frame where my notches are and paint my spindles.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks good Daverod!!!!!!! I think I'd feel right at home in your garage.:lol:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Looks really good man. so when you gonna get it all done now?

Re: Daverods project 66
 

Im betting on page 70.:smoke:

Re: Daverods project 66
 

:lol: Page 70 would be nice. If I have the thing painted by next year at this time I'll be happy. Still have to buy a lot of stuff and stuff.:waah: Like a real compressor so I can paint. Looking at one at Lowes for 800.;)
