Did you use your new hte gun on the column? If so, how you liking it?

**mongocanfly** · 06-06-2020, 10:10 PM

Nope..that's just rattle can...I'm using the dekups system on my paint guns instead of paint cups, and had to order a fitting to use them on the black widow...its supposed to be here mon...I'll be trying it out next week if I get a day off...

Gotcha. With a part like that you can be done with a rattle can before you can even get the gun set up to spray. Then you got cleanup after that.

Keep on keeping on my man.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-08-2020, 01:09 PM

Looks good, more progress.

**mongocanfly** · 06-10-2020, 12:21 AM

Thanks 67C and Dale..!

**clay68c10** · 06-10-2020, 06:56 PM

I just read this whole thread, nice work. I like the ways you’ve figured out all the problems that have come up. Looking forward to seeing more! It’s going to be a very nice truck when you’re done. Your folks will be blown away.

**mongocanfly** · 06-10-2020, 07:21 PM

thanks Clay...

**mongocanfly** · 06-11-2020, 04:38 PM

With all the ot I've had its hard to get motivated and get anything done..so I'm trying to get my 5min in wherever I can ..I needed to get the steering operational, so after painting the column I went ahead and stuck it together..
Somewhere way back I redid the firewall mount that holds the column..I bought a column saver to do this and of course they dont make them in a 2-1/8"..so I bought a 2-1/4" and made a spacer for it..well when i got ready to put it together i couldn't find my spacer..
sometimes around here its easier to just make something new rather than look for what I already made..
But when i was looking at it i thought ,why not just make a new swivel insert that's the correct size and not have the spacer..so that's what happened..
1.Old insert and spacer...
2.Old insert vs new
3.And installed..
Yaaah..!!!...I can turn the wheels from inside the cab...

**8man** · 06-11-2020, 04:53 PM

Hate you had to do the extra work, but it is nicer now.

67C10Step · 06-11-2020, 05:45 PM

Second ideas are sometimes best anyway. As usual, looks fantastic.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-11-2020, 05:59 PM

It looks great and I know it took more than 5 minutes..

**mongocanfly** · 06-11-2020, 09:57 PM

thanks Robert, 67C, Dale...it miiigghhttt have taken a little more than 5 minutes..haha

**72 tigger** · 06-12-2020, 05:57 AM

As always, nice work! 5 minutes- ha ha

jjzepplin · 06-12-2020, 07:29 AM

The same 5 minutes on my truck looks more like a blank stare! AWESOME!

**mongocanfly** · 06-12-2020, 03:58 PM

Thanks Kirk and zepp..

**mongocanfly** · 06-15-2020, 11:27 PM

Another 5 minutes......spread out over 2 hrs..
I dont know how many times I've sprayed these dash panels, but I hope it's the last time..
They were sandblasted epoxied,highbuild, rattle can painted at least twice
Sanded back down and painted with a gun and now redone that again twice..
They looked good till I chipped the glovebox..when I repainted it I had some kind of reaction and the paint krinkled up..
So I sanded it all back down and epoxied,high build and paint..again hopefully for the last time...

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-16-2020, 07:20 AM

Last time, hopefully. They look great though.

burnin oil · 06-16-2020, 10:08 AM

how is the new gun working out? My HF gun was alot cheaper than yours but it layed down really well. The thing I didnt like was it would loose its settings when you cleaned it. I mean that you knew it was out say 1 turn and the next time it would be 7/8 turn. Not a big deal but you kept a test piece nearby every time. Once it was dialed back in the paint layer out perfect. I was shooting single stage Nasson.

**mongocanfly** · 06-16-2020, 12:31 PM

hopefully Dale...thanks
BO, i used my small detail gun to do these..still havnt used the widow yet

**mongocanfly** · 06-20-2020, 07:08 PM

Well for the last few days I've been sitting the dash panels out in the sun to help them cure good...
I had a few minutes today ,so I got them I installed along with the steering column ...and I didnt drop any off it this time..

**mongocanfly** · 06-20-2020, 07:09 PM

And I'm almost glad I only have a few minutes here and there during the day..
sure wished that cool button worked
Today's shop temperature..
