Man that is awesome work. Keep at it.

timmytimm3 · 11-20-2017, 09:43 AM

More progress. Cut the bedsides down, fixing a bunch of rust and dents.

I soaked the bed end pieces in Evapo-rust. It's a water based rust remover and worked great. After rinsing in soap and water, I used Eastwood internal frame coating to coat the insides afterward. Since it's water based, if you don't introduce any chemicals you can just dump it out.

timmytimm3 · 11-20-2017, 09:55 AM

Hammer and dolly work. It's finally starting to come together.

I had small discs laser cut so I can fill the trim holes. I drilled them out with a step drill, put tape behind the hole to hold them just below flush and tacked them in.

jhrusk · 11-20-2017, 11:07 AM

Looks good.

tinydb84 · 11-20-2017, 01:15 PM

Some nice work on that bed.

timmytimm3 · 01-16-2018, 02:34 PM

Quick update. I've been buying some parts and should have the bed all together very soon. In the meantime, some eye candy.

14" 6 Piston Wilwood front brakes

Some updates. A friend tig welded the bed seams with silicon bronze, then my father and I did lots of hammer and dolly work to fix some oil canning and dents.

My father bought a metal shrinking disc kit which works to heat up stretched areas and then when sprayed with water it will shrink the area back down. It's a lot easier to control than a torch. There is still a bunch more metal work to do before bondo but its getting there.

Jferrante · 02-02-2018, 01:50 PM

extremely talented, love the e36m3 have had 2. Will be following along!

northern 85 · 02-03-2018, 07:41 AM

Nice, cant wait to see where you go with this build!

timmytimm3 · 02-05-2018, 09:11 AM

We spent a lot of time fixing the contour of one of the bedsides that was pushed in. I made a form with (2) 2x4s to match the curve of the fender and then made a "J" shaped hammer to reach up under the inner fender part. The bedside was laid face down against the form and hammered to stretch the metal against the form. It worked really well.

I have some more hammer work to do and then I should be ready to assemble the bed and sling some bondo.

gringoloco · 02-05-2018, 11:04 AM

Nice work! Didn’t just wanna fill it with bondo?

timmytimm3 · 02-12-2018, 09:39 AM

The bed and cab are together for the first time in over 20 years! I just found out that my father bought this truck the year I was born and got it on the road the year my brother was born.

Progress...

timmytimm3 · 10-23-2018, 07:51 AM

Finally an update- sand and sandblasted, epoxy primed. The bottom is seam sealed and Lizard Skin ceramic coated and I used their topcoat over that.

Really happy to have the rust repair done on this !!

SCOTI · 10-23-2018, 11:06 AM

Looking great!

timmytimm3 · 10-23-2018, 02:52 PM

I removed the attachments, fixed the orientation on my PC and re-uploaded them.

Still upside down !

gringoloco · 10-24-2018, 10:18 AM

That’s gotta be a good feeling!

i had the same problem finally found that if i went to the photo editing did nothing except save and then they were fine didnt have to rotate them just saved went back to thumbnail they looked the same but posted like they were supposed to. no idea why
cool project btw

timmytimm3 · 10-25-2018, 07:53 AM

Few more pics. There was a nasty dent right on the ridge of the hood that my father and I hammered out and shrank with a shrinking disc. Really happy with how it came out.

The seam on the front edge of the hood is also tig welded shut and I should be priming it soon.

aggie91 · 10-26-2018, 08:39 AM

Great work so far. My '65 was bought by my grandfather the same year I was born. Someday it will get the love it needs to repair all the rust that happened when I had to store it out in the open for a long time in the early 2000's.

tinydb84 · 10-27-2018, 03:12 AM

Looking good

timmytimm3 · 08-06-2019, 02:50 PM

I got the hood down to bare metal and primed with Southern Polyurethane epoxy

**Android04** · 08-06-2019, 03:25 PM

Looks killer

88Stanger · 02-06-2020, 07:20 PM

Update?!?!

timmytimm3 · 02-07-2020, 09:41 AM

A few updates. I lost interest in posting here because every picture is flipped. Then when I edit it and save, then re-upload they are still flipped.

My cab and doors are body worked, the interior and jams are painted SEM Hot Rod black, the PB Fab hood hinges are mounted, and I'm working on building the frame for the raised bed floor.
