Re: My 48 ford shop truck
With some new found motivation,got the rest of the truck in primer a second time....
Dash/Interior:  Bed,inside&out:  Tail gate,bed floor compartment door:  Interior console/storage unit,rest of floor compartment doors:   Now Im back to blocking primer again,but this time its the final round before paint..... |

Re: My 48 ford shop truck
While this all is going on at home,I took the motor to work to clean it ,re-seal it and just check it out in general before it goes back into the '48.
The motor is a sbc ,steel crank,forged pistons(.030 over),comp cams 292 cam kit,erson gear drive,double hump heads,2.02/1.60 stainless steel valves,screw in studs,guide plates,roller rockers,torker intake,holley 750 double pumper.Your basic hot rod sbc.  It was originally built in 1995,but the truck it was in got tore up in a hail storm and didn't get fixed,(the chassis/running gear are under the '48 now).Basically the motor had less than 25000 miles on it,and has been sitting in storage mode since '98.I didnt know what to expect when I opened it up,but had a nice surprise when I did..... Heres what it looked like after I wiped it down with some carb cleaner on a rag.....      Its not to bad for a 15 year old motor. |

Re: My 48 ford shop truck
I cleaned it up,stripped off the old paint and put it back together.While I was doing this, a strange box showed up with this in it:
 Always wanted a tri-power,so here it is.the only thing I did not like was the color of the actual intake itself.I though it should be "brighter".So I made a call to a local powder coater,and had the intake ceramic coated,then a clear added.Its more like I wanted it,and the coating will keep the intake from getting stained by oil,gas or chemicals.  Now all that was left was to make the rest of the motor look like I wanted.....so a little more cleaning,alot of masking,some paint,and some partial reassembly,you get the idea of what I was going for.....    Now I just have to get it home,and back in the truck with out scratching it..... |

Re: My 48 ford shop truck
Have been sanding for what seems like forever,but finally got the truck ready for paint,or at least as ready as its gonna get.Borrowed a enclosed car trailer,and had a buddy help me haul it into work to get some paint on it.
   Had another buddy I work with,who is a painter,offer to help me out and spray the paint.So after a very long friday night and a little bit shorter saturday,the truck has paint on it. Its no show truck but Im pretty happy with how it turned out.Its about 150% more "finished" than I had originally planned when I started this build.          Got to get it back home on monday,so I can get back to work on it...... |
