![]() Now does anyone have an air cleaner like that laying around. ![]() Thanks to everyone else for their input. I'm so confussed. I like the cold air intake idea, but afraid it will take away from a nice and clean engine bay. If done right it might add to the appeal. I've never seen one done to this style truck. I'm sure Jon might have a pic. ![]() The roof, LT door and dash got some Slick Sand sprayed on them ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I think a better option would be one of the NASCAR 'used parts' places. You should be able to pick up a used NASCAR style air cleaner shroud & adapt it to your firewall (NASCAR cars get their cool air from the firewall/base of the windshield). They're made from both aluminum & carbon fiber & usually go for less than $150.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Alan, do you know if the Slick Sand is compatible with self etching primer? Just wondering b/c I know that is what some of these guys are using as a base...
Can't comment on the video yet. The computers at work have ALL photo/video sites blocked. ![]() I will check it out when I get home though and I'm sure it is great! Last edited by TimE; 01-04-2009 at 11:17 PM. Reason: stoopid... |

Re: My 1965 build thread
I was told by a painter that it's not a primer. The label says it doesn't need to be sealed prior to topcoat. It's like a sprayable filler to remove minor imperfections. Once I block it I will prime then block with 400. It's cheaper than primer and metal glaze. It applies evenly minimizing sanding. It is thick and requires a 2.0 gun tip. It can be thinned a little like I had to do tonight due to being 55 degrees.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Cpp Update:
I sent emails and one or two phone calls back on Dec 9th about the concerns that I had. I never heard from them, until today. The phone call was only to see if they needed to send out more Ubolts. They sent a return authorization for the ubolts 3 weeks ago. I made it known to them the issues I've got. I told him about the instructions for the swaybar install. Like I said before they get the bars from Adco. Adco is the ones that put the instructions in the kit. I told him the instructions on CPP's website was correct. He is going to check with Adco on this issue. As far as the hardware with the kit, the hardware is supposed to be grade 5. I referred him to this thread so he could see the pix. I'll keep ya'll posted on any other info. I hope they can restore my confidence with them. They have some great products that helps us out a bunch.

Re: My 1965 build thread
Good to hear you are getting a response from CPP. It is so tough to find good companies to work with in this day and age. Everyone fights for the best price and service is what usually suffers. Hopefully CPP makes everything right with you.
