Re: Daverods project 66
B.C.....?
I use to hang-out with a bunch of Hosers in Pentictin... We spent many a night sucking down Kokanees and looking for Ogopogo... But that was back in the early '90s. Now I'm chasing down Wild Hogs & Skunks with much better results... Thanks for the memories, I'm having some great flash-backs..... ![]() 66BowTieBoy

Re: Daverods project 66
I've had some good ideas in my life. Sandblasting my truck in my garage wasn't one of them. Spent more time cleaning up then blasting. Did get my frame done though. Cab is almost done. Had to scrape some rubber stuff off the firewall the blasting didn't touch it. Inside the cab it had some glue still left on the firewall from the sound insulation. Hit it with some laquear thinner came right off. While it was cleaning the garage I also cleaned up my front clip from a 73 I'm going to take it apart and use the disk brakes. Later Daverod

Re: Daverods project 66
I started to sand blast a Thunderbird in my garage. After getting only 1/2 of a fender done, I gave up. Like you said sand was every wear. What a mess. I'll send it in to have it professionally blasted.

Re: Daverods project 66

Re: Daverods project 66
Had to wait for the dishwasher repair guy this morning thought I would weld up some holes on my firewall. Seemed like a lot of holes. Had no idea what half of them were. At first I was cutting out small circles with my grinder. Then I got smart and just pluged the hole with a long piece of long skinny rectangular steel. It gave my somthing to hang on to while welding. Then while it was still really hot I just twisted it off and finished welding it shut. I plan on keeping my orginal heater (I live in Idaho). I know I might have to redrill out some of the holes hopfully not to many. Going to go buy some primer now. I guess I'll just mix up a small amount and see if my cheapo spray gun will shoot it.

Re: Daverods project 66
I'm not a painter, but if you use a high build primer or something thick the gun should have a fairly large tip...1.5 or up. It'll clog up if its too small.

Re: Daverods project 66
Hey Daverod
I just looked at the corners I welded and I can see the ground also. I guess I will be doing the same thing. Live and learn. |

Re: Daverods project 66
I painted my cab and frame in primer today. At first I had to crank the pressure up to 100 psi to get my gun to work. After I painted the cab I took the stupid little air filter I bought off. It's made to collect water in the air line. When I painted the frame I turned the pressure down to 45psi. It worked great. The filter was really blocking the air flow. Now I can finish mounting my dash. Then it's time to sling some mud. Later Daverod

Re: Daverods project 66
Looks good
![]() Did you put that Evercoat high build primer direct on the bare metal, or did you spray it with an epoxy primer first?
