Good Saturday
Pretty good Saturday. Got a good bit done on the 70 today. I started out with a multicolored mess
![]() and now I got her down to almost just about basic black. I sprayed the inside and outside of my cab today with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. Hopefully protect the metal until I get back to the final body work. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My son likes it as it is. He wants me to do some red flames on it. I guess he'll be a rat rod boy. Wife just said, "You didn't paint the hood." ![]() Oh well. Later I got out the oven cleaner and pressure washer and cleaned The Valdez oil spill from the rear of the frame. ![]() ![]() Got her all dried off and now I can finish up the rear of the frame, get it painted, and start adding the blazer tank, new rear end, and who knows. Oh well here is a few more shots of how she waits for me to get back to her. ![]() ![]() Now onto clean-up and dinner with some board members. Gotta love this place. Thanks for listening to the rambles.

Re: Good Saturday
Yeah I know
![]() I forgot to clean off all the ancient tree sap drippings before I started today, and really wanted to get the metal covered. Hood will be on the next go round.!!

Re: Good Saturday
The advantage of living on the MS gulf coast!!!
Today, in the tundra of north MS it has been cloudy, overcast with a brisk north west wind and a balmy high of about 45 F. It is always good to make progress on the truck project.

Re: Good Saturday
Looks good Bill. He got a taste of the arctic by coming up my way so I could meet Jimbotronics. It's in the 50's, but he's a misplaced Yankee so he liked it.

Re: Good Saturday
Hey Bill, hows about I send you some of our Iowa weather? That should slow you down.

Re: Good Saturday
Truck looks good and progress rocks Palf, but if you look closer at the 2nd picture of the series, it looks like the fuel filler could use a little more mud, is that an area you are going to address or are you just gonna leave it alone. Just looks like the filler panel was a little flat compared to the surrounding panels.
Oh.... You forgot to paint the hood. Brandon |
