LOL !! That is about right for me, but Martin....?? More than likely a full set plus steamer trunk Ian. And we are not done yet........ I have parts coming from Missouri as well as the S/S bed strips and fixing kit from Mar-K as well as a full set of side mouldings going to Clem's as well...... I see my life filled with panic in October.

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
On Friday during the day, I called the Sandblasters as they were doing my crossmember and trailing arms . They told me they would be ready on Saturday mid morning .
So on Friday night I thought I would strip down my engine ready for paint . On Saturday morning I got a call to say they were ready. So after speaking to Rian in the morning to discuss the front upper and lower wishbones , he told me he had taken about 4hrs to blast his heater box . The thought of standing in his garage blasting them all day, was enough for me To load them into my car before I headed down to Ashford . It's about a 60 mile round trip . After speaking to the blaster and striking up a good deal for cash, I collected my parts and left him my wishbones . Engine stripped ready to be cleaned and painted . Parts collected from the blaster The next task was to remove the old bushes . They were really stubborn ,so after trying to push them out with a socket and bush removal tool, I gave up and got out the torch and burnt them out hey presto out they popped ready for paint . Heating them up works a treat Bush removed So after a clean up I got the first coat of Por15 on them pictures to follow

Looking good Martin, the blaster did a really nice job. What are you going to paint the engine with?

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
I have already got some VHT Chevy orange . I got it to paint the old 307 . luckily enough I didn't get round to painting it before I sold it , so I will use it on this engine instead .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well this morning I got up early to make a start on the truck .
First job was to pull the painted parts out of the carport . Once I inspected them I gave the crossmember another coat of Por15 . I then installed the new bushes into the trailing arms . It was still a little early to start grinding , so I dug out my new brake callipers , as they needed painting .I prepped them ready for paint , then I put a coat of VHT red calliper paint on them . Once they were painted , it was late enough to get out the grinder and start on the chassis . Parts out of carport and another coat on the crossmember Close up of the new bushes installed Chassis nearly all rubbed down . I just need to flip it over to finish the underneath Here's one of the callipers all painted So all being well I have ordered some Por15 metal prep , which should arrive Monday or Tuesday . The crossmember and trailing arms were sandblasted so they had a slightly rough surface for the paint to key to . As the chassis has been sanded down to bare metal as opposed to being sandblasted it recommends using the prep first So hopefully I will collect my wishbones next weekend and carry on .

Re: Martin's mi-STRESS, 1965 Long Fleetside C10 "Rebuild in ENGLAND"
Well tonight , while I was prepping my engine for paint , I got a text from Don . It was to tell me my hood bird I ordered had arrived at his place
The pictures from Don note they are of my bird on his hood I will post the engine pictures once I have moved it out of the garage , as the pictures where a little dark , by the time I finished . |
