Looks good.

Nice looking truck Dennis! I noticed the wiper motor mounted on the firewall, is that stock? If not could you elaborate a little on how you went about doing that? I have been wanting to upgrade mine in my 64. Thanks!

When other people do it I've noticed they get a lot more paint all over the place.

I wounder if you can spray that stuff? Is it to thick?

It's coming from his hands. He has a weed problem.

Thanks D. The wind kicked up. All it takes is one gust. It's windy up here a lot too.

Look again. It's a 1963 Studebaker Lark. The wiper motor is in the stock location.

No it's thin, but covers really good. POR-15 said you can spray it too. But why when it comes out really smooth. Besides you don't have to mask anything. Just a drop cloth so if it drips it won't get on the floor.

Sorry about that Dennis, somewhere along the way I missed that "little" detail.

Well it's good to see a lot of cars in your shop...I know you may not think so some times, but with the economy the way it is, give thanks Dennis...

Believe me I'm thankful. And lucky too. I still need to spread the word to keep busy. I was coming home from getting parts, and I saw my old 37 Ford Coupe driving the other way. I sold it about 15 years ago. I did a big U turn to talk to him. This guy just bought it 2 months ago from the guy I sold it to. It looked exactly the way it was when I sold it. It still looked great. He needs some work done on it. That's more work that I hope I get. He was missing his front license plate. It said 37 Steel. I told him that I had it. And he can have it free. So I know he will be in to see me. I'll post a picture of it when he comes in.

Thanks Allan. I wish I was doing all this to my truck. Little by little I'll get to it.

you are making me believe that going POR is the right way for us to proceed

Thanks so much

Hell yes. I could give it another coat, but I don't think it needs it. When I do my truck, I'll make sure I wet everything down to minimize dust, like when I spray paint. I'll also do it early in the morning when there's no wind. You'll see pictures when I do.
After I clean up the frame holes & remove some brackets I be ready. I just have to get the customers cars off the lift.

joe231 · 06-27-2009, 03:00 PM

what are you planning to do for prep before POR'ing the frame?

One word SANDBLAST. The Studebaker was a pain in the butt doing it with the body on. I got the part of the frame I painted down to bare metal. With my truck it will be a frame off. I want it down to bare metal too before I put the POR-15 on it. But in a cleaner environment. With the Studebaker's frame I used a scrapers, and wire wheel on my hand grinder to get it down to the bare metal. Plus before that I had to get the grease, and dirt off first. POR-15 has a degreaser, and metal prep your supposed to use also.

joe231 · 06-28-2009, 03:24 PM

that is my plan also...guess we are on the same page
