Re: New member with a 1960
Excellent question, we have been using a formula of baking soda and water to neutralize the rust process, before clearing but I cannot answer that! the raw amount of clear coated rat rods in existence is surely some testament of how it could possibly stand up, on the other hand I haven't heard any complaints about anyone having to re-clear coat their rat rods..... LOL now I am wondering .....

Re: New member with a 1960
The rear suspension is buttoned up minus shocks, we are waiting on some double adjustable Strange coil overs, I am not sure if I should run the lowering springs without the coil over springs, or just run the springs on the coil overs.
Earlier I had asked for some ideas for heat/AC vents, I really don't like the looks of the plastic vents that screw to the bottom of the dash.... So we came up with the below idea....... ![]() ![]() The back side (in the door jamb) had to be cut out and a fitting fabricated to attach to the AC/Heat duct hose up in the dash, the jamb area will then be welded back and smoothed out before painting the jambs, for the center I had a spare door that was the same color and had already been clear coated so we used that metal from the door panel to build the vent housing! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: New member with a 1960
Thanks for all the compliments guys. I don't have any pics but the 1 piece power windows are now in and working! They were a bit of a pain but I think they will work fine for the longevity of the truck!
A friend put together a little video of the truck and progress. Click the link below! https://vimeo.com/187586186

Re: New member with a 1960
Is that a magnetic brake by the shop door?

Re: New member with a 1960
The only thing I didn't like is that they roll up crooked, not straight up and down like factory, that's the only way they will work correctly, it looks odd... very odd but works awesome!
