Nice work on the truck Steve. The hood looks really good. Glad to hear it fits good.

Re: Project "Jezebel"

Hey guys, now that it's getting a little cooler here in FL I can spend some time on Jezebel. Spent most of the summer offshore fishing in the gulf but now Im motivated to getting her done. I signed up for the PowerTour next year and that gives me just 7.5 months to get it done and all the bugs worked out. Wish me luck, I'm gonna need it considering work is trying to kill me!


The gap between the hood and cowl was too tight. I sectioned the cowl to give about a 3/16 gap. Here is a couple pics of it tacked together.

I then had a situation where the cowl stuck out a little more than I wanted so I pie cut the driver side cowl and pulled it in line.

Re: Project "Jezebel"

Here are a few pics of the finish welding of the panel. My sand blaster crapped out on me before I could finish blasting the 10+ coats of paint off.... Ill need to rebuild the carb before I get it running again. I know its not just me but Isn't it always something trying to pull you away from project?

Thanks guys, it seems that today I am much more busy than I was a few years back. I'm hoping to get Jezebel painted by the end of the year.

Re: Project "Jezebel"

It was one of those weekends. Lots of time spent on the truck with few noticeable results. Now that I'm in the body work phase and being the lone ranger on this project, things seem to be moving at a snails pace.

My goal this weekend was to complete the body work on the passenger side. I'll have to say that with the constant distractions I only achieved about 60% of that goal. Any progress is good progress right?

Body work is boring, but here is a pic so far. I'm a bit embarrassed to call this progress to be honest. I'll keep steady and soon hope to be past this stage. My goal is to paint by Christmas.

Re: Project "Jezebel"

More progress. Im still doing bodywork but getting closer to paint every day. (Thank God!)

Here are a couple pics of my progress. I have covered all bare metal with etch primer and just shot my first coat of 2k urethane. Ill be moving from the grey primer to buff as I start the blocking process. The green I plan to use should cover the buff better since it's a lighter color. At least that's my theory anyway... :-)

I still have it a goal to have her in paint by the end of the year and on the road in the spring. Lets see how that goes.....

Thanks Guys


I have a small update. The brown truck arrived today and brought Jezebel some new swag (67-68 side trim).

I cant wait till I'm at the stage of installing it. Shouldn't be too long. Nice packaging, thanks Mar-K!

Re: Project "Jezebel"

While working the never ending job of blocking I got to thinking that maybe there may be some among us who dont really know how much work this is. Considering that the economy we have today and money running tight that some could take on this job instead of letting their projects sit waiting to save up the cash.

The cost of a paint job breaks down to Labor and paint supplies. There is not much we can do about supplies except shop around but there is much that can be done to reduce the amount of labor you are paying for. If you prep the project correctly using the correct process and supplies (check with your painter) you should be able to trim down some of the cost.

Here is the process I am following on Jezebel before I put down her final coat of shiny paint. Let me say now that I'm not a professional body man. I learned this over the years as a hobby after taking Auto Body Tech in high school many moons ago. Professionals out there, if I say something out of line here please correct in a nice way....

Starting where I am in the process (look at previous posts for more detail) you can see that
  1. The hood has been bodyworked.
  1. All bare metal has been prepped with etch primer (some use epoxy).
  1. 2k Urethane high build primer surfacer has been applied to help fill in sand scratches.

Good thing to know. Check the paint system you are using. I'm using Martin Senior products with etch primer. That system calls for all bodywork (bondo) to be applied to bare metal BEFORE etch primer.

The first thing I do is line the body lines with masking tape. Ever wonder how those Street Rod guys get those laser strait crisp body lines? This is it. I started by Identifying where the body line in the hood aligned with it's counter part on the fender. Then I removed the hood and finished the taping. This will allow you to look down that edge when it's on the truck and it will make your body panels appear to be perfectly strait.

The black you see here is dry guide coat. This will allow me to see where the low spots are in the primer and allow me to sand the surface flat.

Sand with the largest block you can use for the task until the guide coat disappears. Can you see the dark spots on the center and left side of this pic? That means I need to keep sanding until I either find a high spot or metal.

Low spot gone. Now continue on there are many more....

Views: 942
Size:  9.5 KB

Keep sanding all the way up to the tape edge. The tape will act as a guide to keep you from sanding over the edge you are creating. Finish all the way around the hood then remove the tape. Lay down a new line of tape, but this time move it to the other side of the body line where you just sanded. This will make that line sharp!

Name:  100_2507.JPG
Views: 934
Size:  13.7 KB

After you are done with that you have completely sanded your hood or whatever panel you are working on. If you still have low spots you will need to apply another coat of 2k high build to those areas. If you have bare metal where you sanded through you will need to apply etch primer to those areas. See next post for pics.


This takes a lot of time to do but the results are worth it.

Hope this helps.

Steve

Re: Project "Jezebel"

More goodies... Got my new bed this week. Everything is new, steel bed floor, bed sides, tubs, tailgate, front bed panel, everything.

I'm really satisfied with the quality of the parts. All seem to be made of the right gauge sheetmetal.

Re: Project "Jezebel"

By looking at this build you can tell I cant leave things well enough alone. I decided to change my plans for my gas tank and move to a bed fill version of the Boyd's Welding tank. My earlier plans were to do a stake pocket gas fill because my other bed had a spray in bedliner and didn't want to deal with the mess of stripping the old bedliner to install the bed filler.

Here are some custom touches to the new bed floor for the fuel filler.

Marked the location for the filler using the existing tank. I need to order a new tank with the filler centered between the frame rails.
