Re: Restoring Rusty
then it was time to shoot some special primer, in other words the first can I could reach on the shelf
and after that I wanted to cover this with this special SEM undercoating stuff I've been saving for days and wanting to shoot it on something so bad, well I lost the can in the last house move I recon, cause I couldn't find it today, so I used that junk spray I used on my dash that is supposed to give a wrinkle texture finish but it sure don't it does shoot backward onto your arm though |

At least you didn't shoot yourself in the eye.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Dude. Don't you live in like the middle of California? Are you buying your truck parts out of the northeast states or something? Sorry to see the weight-saving-area on the inside of your hood. Your progress looks good across the board though. The Saginaw held up just fine with the landscaping duties, right?
PS, I hope you don't mind my apocalyptically numbered post landing on your thread. If I thought a deal with the devil could net you some rust-free parts, you know I'd be the first to sign up. Maybe. Last edited by LT7A; 08-08-2018 at 04:30 PM. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Let us know what you think. I thought about doing all of inside my cab with that stuff.

I discovered this product when I had a shop weld in the floor on my '68 Mustang about 10 years ago (god I'm such an idiot for selling that Ford) it looked so good and I bet they didn't do much prep and clean up just shot it over all that junk, and still it looked amazeballz. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
You can probably find a severely taco shelled hood in one of the local salvage yards to liberate that corner from.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I just spent all morning going through this whole thread and Gregski you sir are awesome. The time it takes to do the work on your truck plus taking the time to document it all and share it with us is a huge help to everyone here.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Thank you for the kind words I appreciate that, especially since now that Rusty has been my daily driver for the last 18 months I am tempted to just do it, and not document as much

Re: Restoring Rusty
Shouldn't this guy be working on that hood?
so I bought this extra door trim (first pic only one of two pieces of the kit shown) last winter and have been waiting for the proper Global Warming to applicate it it is supposed to server two purposes, stop the water leak on the driver's side, and the constant whistling on the passenger side so today I used the good natured alcohol to clean the doors the best I could and then the Gorilla Snot to stick it to the door |

Re: Restoring Rusty
I can always count on Gregski for a chuckle. I remember a few bars and have recollections of some people from the fraternity days who I think might have had some bad natured alcohol to drink. I've become a big fan of isopropyl alcohol as a residue-free way of prepping parts for paint. Good work brother.

Re: Restoring Rusty
would you believe me if I told you the driver side looked much neater than this passenger side?
since the tube of glue sat in the parts store for years and then on my work bench for months I believe the contents separated so I used my finger to work them in whilst on the door, not the greatest idea as now i have goop on my finger and had to take the pics left handed, hence the finger shot in each of the pics, awesome!

Re: Restoring Rusty
yes, I painted the back sides of the interior metal door panels of my '71 truck (they went to plastic nonsense in '72 my birth year) turned out great, they no longer ting and ping like hallow tin, they sound muted now, you can tell this is a quality product, I don't want to post pics as this is the 3rd gen section (translation too lazy to take pics) ha ha
sorry I bolted my trans tunnel cover back on and have been too lazy to remove it to spray it with this product but it is on the Ta Do List! Last edited by Gregski; 09-01-2018 at 10:34 AM. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
ok so it looks bad, but at least it's good metal
hey man, this ain't no welding class where you're sitting on a bar stool running beads for an hour in perfect position, it was difficult to get the torch in there and also grind it all down with an angle grinder, Chip Foose borrowed my slim portable solar powered belt sander and has yet to give it back |
