Re: Greg65 build thread

I'm not sure on the brand of the pump. A friend of mine bought a couple of these for his Camaro and one for me. I think it is the same company that makes pumps for Holley. Anytime you want to meet just let us know. The next time I come up to Tn. I will give you a heads up. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Greg65 build thread
The process of putting the rib in the floor. This will hold true for most patches.
First I cut out the new piece then taped it where I wanted it. Then I screwed it in place. I use a thin 1/16" cutoff wheel and cut out around it. I cut slits in the end to form the taper. Then used magnets to hold it in place while i tacked it. You could also cut out the bad place then put it on the new patch and do it that way. Which the way I mostly do it, but I had such a small piece to work with I did it this way that is pictured.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I used a small screw driver to even the pieces up as i tacked it. Then welded by skipping around to keep the heat from wrapping the metal. Then ground the welds flat.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I always thought you should sandblast before doing the metal repairs? Won't you be worried about trapping sand in some areas of the cab and doors?

Re: Greg65 build thread
My rule of thumb is too cut out all the bad metal then have it blasted. The floors and rockers were done by someone else. I cut out the rest of the bad spots so it will give the blaster access to areas behind the rust. It takes a lot of time to get the sand out, especially the rockers in this case. The roof skin is removed so that should be easy to remove the sand in that area.

Re: Greg65 build thread
A little late on the pics, this was loading day.
He was supposed to be done today, but that didn't happen. No biggie, it was raining and tomorrow will be stormy. I should be able to get it Thursday.

Re: Greg65 build thread
I need your note pad, to copy off of.
![]() Today was a wash literally. I wanted to epoxy prime it today, but Mother Nature said no way. The California doors are in great shape, I really didn't seen this being an issue. The blasting showed some holes (small) in the bottom of the doors. It's far better than what we have to work with around here.

Not near as bad as the first two doors. The cab is looking great Alan.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Very nice build, and I like the color you chose! I'm a little biased though!

Like Alan said, there is no easy way to fix the door edge. Have to make relief cuts through the inner and outer skins to pull it out straight. Just bending it out without cutting reliefs will cause low spots right behind the edge and the edge still won't be level with the rest of the door skin.

Re: Greg65 build thread
Thanks, I started with blue, then turquoise, and finally decided on fawn. Funny how many times I've changed my mind in ten years.
