Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
We didn't end up going to the truck pull we were going to go to in Mo on Sat, so in between rain showers I started blasting my doors. Man was it hot, muggy and misreable. I just acted like there were hot chicks in the distance so I could get through it. All in all the doors cleaned up really well. The RH door had some rust through in the lower front corner, and the inners of both corners had holes in them. The LH door had 2 cracks in the window opening and some holes on the inner door skin from where the door was hitting the rocker panel. I was really surprised how little rust holes these actually had.
Here are repair pics. Seeing how I'm strapped for time on this truck, I decided that on the inner panels I would just use my valvoline epoxy and not cut and weld new metal in seeing how I'm in a hurry.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Last night I got the RH inner side sprayed with etch primer and sealer primer. I also cleaned up the door hinges and primed them. This morning I went back to the shop and the dang thing was kind of tacky. I put it out side in the hot sun to cure longer. Then I started on the body work on the LH inner side of the door. My hardener for my filler wasn't too happy so I will have to get some more.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Actually, I might have one I would consider selling. I need some new injection lines and they are pricey. I'm assuming you need a torque converter core too?

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Tonight after working on a customer's truck after work, I decided I had to do some thing to my truck. I fit and installed my fuel neck filler. I was hoping to have it turn out a shiny metal mirror like the pros, but not exactly. I'm happy with it. The patch I purchased from Infanti Machine, which I later found out was a site vendor. Excellent, excellent customer service and products. Here it is.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Just noticed your sleeper signature... 6 cylinder automatic... I guess it's accurate, but a little understated.

Actually, it only uses oil when you go over on an oil change.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
Thanks Cam. I flipped the LH door over today, sanded it again, and etch primed, then seal primed it. I edged the RH door and will hang it today. I'm stuck now. I'm just about set on trying to give the body work a quickie, bolt all the panels on, mask off what needs to be and spray it red/orange and be done with it. IDK at this point, but I have to do something soon.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
This primer is really irritating me! It doesn't seem to want to fully dry for 2-3 days. I'm about ready to dump it on the junk pile! That's what I get for buying it off clist.

Re: Finally starting my Longhorn 4x4 conversion
I'd do that if I had the room inside or the extra time. I'm going to be switching to filler primer now that the real body work needs to start. We'll see how this week goes for progress. It's got to get done.
