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?

Re: Daverods project 66
Looks so nice
I like bare metal, but love the look of some nice primer I have read you need to seal the metal first before priming, but then I have also read you can apply it to bare metal...so maybe it don't matter which way you do it. the internet is great but you get so many different contradicting opinions....kinda confusing at times

Re: Daverods project 66
My first words when I walked in the paint store were " I need a primer that I can put on bare metal". She told me that was the stuff?

Re: Daverods project 66
I think if your going paint it right away you can use a metal primer. If you have body work to do you then have to seal it first so it won't rust. Again I said "I think". What do you guys think?

Re: Daverods project 66
My plan (do I have a plan) was to prime, do my body work (Rage body filler) then Slick sand, then paint? Mayde I have to seal the slick sand. I'm not sure. I was looking on evercoat web site the orginal featherfill says you can put it on bare metal. This stuff says g2 on in. I think that just means it can be used over a eching primer? I'm confused.

Re: Daverods project 66
Worked on my doors today. Took the windows out, sanded the paint off, began to wonder if you can ever stop the rust? Used about 3 can off rust stop, hay it can't hurt. Sprayed it inside the doors, around and inside the hood, all the places I could'nt sand or sandblast. I'm going to see if I can get these doors to work. I don't really want to spend the money to buy new ones. Should be getting my engine back from the machine shop this week . It's a 350 bored .10 over. I have a turbo 350 and a 400. I think I'll use the 350. Did'nt really need to do the engine now but it just somthing else I can check off the list. Still looking for a steering column.

Re: Daverods project 66
Man I'm glad I live in California with all the rust I've seen here. The etching/sealer primer that I use can have bondo over it.

Re: Daverods project 66
Make sure the machine shop put that little galley plug back in place under the oil pump driveshaft area (ish...hard to describe. You should see it when looking in that area. Little feller, about 1/2 an inch if I remember right.). They remove them to vat the block.
It's happened a lot over the years. Forget that little plug and it won't build oil pressure. Big pain.

Re: Daverods project 66
Look straight down into the engine bowels in this area.
It should likely be a shiny new little bitty freeze plug.

Re: Daverods project 66
And that rusty thing sticking out of the block near the oil pan rail in your picture. That is some goofy unknown something or another. Unscrew it and replace it with a 1/4 npt plug. That's the lower drain for the block water galley.

Re: Daverods project 66
I see nothing. I don't think they put it back. Maybe it's in the gasket kit?

Re: Daverods project 66
It's been afew years, so I'm dealing mith my memory here...
I do believe you might have to remove the rear main cap to see the area better. It's up in here somehwere. I promise, I'm not getting Alzheimers yet. You will know it immediately when you see it. I think it's somewhere next to where the oil pump rod goes into the block.

Re: Daverods project 66
Another plug to check and make sure is in place is the one on the deck just behind #7 cylinder.

Re: Daverods project 66
I it was a 79 van. I started to drill the holes with a 4" hole saw but I was'nt sure if it was for metal and I did'nt want to mess up my good hole saw. So I went with one of my favorates the mighty "Saws All" and a $3 metal blade. It worked good. Just cut what I could and ground the rest with a wornout grinding wheel. It turned out the 4" wheel was a metal one but it seemed to be taking to long. Around here 4" hole saw blade is about $25

Re: Daverods project 66
Fairy came today brought me my "How to book". Had to take half the day off so I could get some good reading in. Bought a different lower shaft from the parts forum. It's off a 71 measures 3/4" so it should work. Back to my reading I'm just getting to the good parts of what not to do.
