Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Great pictures, I wanted to make the last plaza get together. I can't remember what happened. I think I was working in the garage, and had already drank a few beers.

Thanks!

It was just some local guy with a posting on Craigslist. I think she paid $75 for it. It's a nice quality carpet too. Tightly woven, stitched edges, formed nicely with padding already on it.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Thanks all! Like I said...We are still chasing the bugs out. Tomorrow we'll be putting in a new starter. There's also been some issues with the fuel. If the truck sits for even a day, the fuel line completely drains out... It's like running out of gas and trying to re-prime the system daily. I may try an electric fuel pump to solve this problem. I also have to chase down a couple oil leaks. It's all a part of the fun! I'll keep you's posted. Later....jc

Could we get some more picks of Fred's 54? great looking car. Is that rattle can Rustoleum Satin Black?

Talking Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

It is actually a '50/50 mix of rustoleum and lacquer thinner shot through a paint gun'.........quote right outta Joseph's mouth. My brother Fred and Joseph really know their stuff...............or they are gonna figure out how to make it work!!! Chicano Engineering! haha

Joseph is at home right now chasing more of those bugs on my 65 down. I am sure she will run like a charm when I get home. I am lucky!!!!

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

The 54 looks great. Do you think they could put a post up on how they did it? Did they paint a couple of coats, then sand, paint a couple of coats and sand?

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Fred didn't do any 'between coat' sandings on the '54. He did some quick body work, put the car in primer, final sand then paint. He usually does two or three coats of color with an HLVP gun. He uses lacquer thinner because it reduces the drying time big time. He used semi gloss black on the body and gloss white on the roof. All Rustoleum.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Thanks for the info. That's a great looking "poor man's" paint job. What type of gun is that a gravity feed? I bought a cheap gravity fed gun and was thinking about doing the same thing. I've never painted anything (except rattle can). I wonder how long it will hold up. I guess for the money, you could just rough it up and spray it again. Thanks again for the info.

He has a few different brand guns. I think one gun is a 'high-dollar' one from Mac Tools or Snap On, but the one he likes the best is a Campbell Hausfeld he bought from WalMart. He picked it up a while back in a set for $60 that came with a regular size gun and a detail gun. I'm a 'Rattle Can Master' myself. I recently bought myself a cheapy gun from Harbor Freight. I'm going to try my first gun paint job soon on my '73. As Fred says: "Go for it...the worst you can do is 'f' it up"...

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

I bought a Harbor Frieght gun myself. That's my thought...what's the worst that can happen. I can always sand it back off if it looks horrible.

Re: Progress on my woman's '65 Short/Fleet.

Well it's been a while since the last post. Update:

We took the truck to our good friend and body man, Abe Flores in Moriarty, NM. He's going to tackle those door skin patches for us, finish up the fender patches and fix a few dents for us. I'll be out there to help him when I can. He's an awesome body man so I know the work will be "cherry".. Thanks Abe! I'll try to take some pics of the progress and post them as the work gets done. We can't wait!

Later... JC
