Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Picked up the cab and doors this morning. The factory primer color underneath was red oxide with tan overspray around the edges, so we sprayed the bottom with PPG DPLF epoxy to match the original primer. We'll do the overspray pattern tomorrow using single stage.
With primer on it, you can see how much effort we spent smoothing the weld seams on the rust repairs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Stayed late tonight to spray the bottom of the cab with the factory style overspray pattern around the edges. We had single stage color matched for this since base/clear wouldn't have the same effect. I didn't have anything to go by, other than one post I found that said that the bottom of the firewall wasn't masked from the factory, just that the paint was solid until the last roll at the toe boards. Hopefully it's close to how the factory "painted" the bottom of the cab.
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also shot the column parts, hinges, and front cab mount covers. ![]() ![]()

Started wetsanding the cab today with 1000 grit. Marked all the edges with a sharpie marker so we could see if we were sanding around the edges too much. That keeps us from sanding through, or getting it too thin and burning through with the buffer later on. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Couldn't find a decent radiator support so we ordered a reproduction and used the bottom half to repair the original RS.
Marking the cut lines. ![]() Cuts cleaned up, making a template using masking tape. ![]() Took measurments of various points so we could align the template, then stuck it on and sprayed silver paint to mark the cut line on the new RS. ![]() ![]() Initial fit up of the two pieces. ![]() ![]() After final fitting, welding, and smoothing the welds. Really surprised at how well the two pieces fit together. ![]()

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Guide coated the cab with powdered charcoal before wetsanding with 2000 and 2500 grit today. The charcoal shows all the 1000 grit scratches, so we can be sure we sanded all of them out with 2000. It also won't stick to non-sanded paint so it shows any spots we missed.
![]() ![]() ![]() After sanding with 2000 and 2500. We'll buff it tomorrow and hopefully have it back on the frame by Friday. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
I buy it a hobby/art stores like Hobby Lobby. Comes in stick form and has to be ground up; I use a 2 or 3" air grinder with a worn-out 80 grit disc held over a paint cup.

Looks fantastic as always.
Do you spray all of those little parts with a gun or with a spray can?
