Re: The Resurrection

Your HOA must be REALLY good at sending you notices

Don't miss that about N. Vegas at all...

Re: The Resurrection

Lay some plastic bag or light tarp over the wet stripper and it traps the gasses allowing it to work faster/better.

A carbon face mask helps too.

Re: The Resurrection

In for this- great work! If you don't have your mind made up, Southern Polyurethanes is a great place for the epoxy primer you'll need, and a lot cheaper. Keep it up!

Re: The Resurrection

you are making great headway! I wish the weather here was as nice as that when you get around to installing the gastank again. I would love to see some pictures on how you did it. In the next few months I should be doing to same gastank relocation that you are doing and would love some ideas on how you got yours to fit between the frame rails. keep up the good work

Re: The Resurrection

thanks for all the comments everyone. yeah its going slow considering its 60 degrees here

As far as the gas tank goes i will be glad to post more pics. its not as easy as i was hoping for, but it tucks up nice and its cheap part to come by. i only paid $80 for a 65 mustang gas tank. if you are ok using a grinder on the frame rails and a hammer to the side of the tank a bit it goes in smooth...i will post more pics don't worry. i think the suburban tank is a easier install but i wanted a center position for the filler neck. (it just looks cool) plus i know it drives some of the hard core Chevy guys nuts to see ford parts go in

any way... new pic of the signs my girl got me for the man cave

Re: The Resurrection

Well progress is slow but we are getting lots done this winter.
- welded all fender holes
- sand blasted doors, hood, tailgate, front bed panel, door hinges, old front bumper
- Doors-- rust fixed, holes welded, metal body work, east wood internal painted inside, 3M rubberized paintable undercoated inside, and eastwood epoxy primer outside
- Hood-- metal body work (to include front gap) eastwood internal painted inside frame and eastwood epoxy primer outside
-Tailgate--realized it has to many holes within the "chevrolet" logo and way to many dents. going to use it as paint experiment to find the right color of pearl orange...then it will be recycled into sitting bench for back yard.
-Cab--"holy" crap it had way more rust then i realized. had a field day at Tuckers buying patch panels. been cutting rusty metal like a mad man.

Next-- sand blast cab, weld in patch panels and then on to custom paint for frame and reassembly...longest rebuild ever! i need another mojito

Oh how I miss the Southwest! Best time to get outdoor work done was in the beautiful winter time weather.

This is a great (and thorough!) build...excellent job!
