Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
Did a quick firewall repaint this afternoon. I just could not bring my self to leave it brown with a new paint job on the out side. I spent a bit of time moving what I could and tapping or renolds wrapping the rest. It worked out real well I only missed one real small corner that I will just use a sharpie on

Amazing work...

Today it was a bout 45 degrees out side but in the booth I have heaters (off when painting) that get it right up to 75-85 degrees to help bake the paint a bit. The cab is all done now except for the white on the roof. Turns out that Drip rail sealer I used SUCKS! It shrinks about 70% and looked like crap so I took it all out and ordered some good 3M urethane and a $100 gun to use it with. It won't be in untill Wedsday so the roof will wait till thurs day for paint. After I removed all the caulking I primmed the gutters again, sanded it all down so it was ready for paint then masked off the roof. The blue wraps down the inside or the gutter rail and stop about the bottom of the gutter. Now I will do a real tight masking job so the caulking will roll up the blue and cover the seam then die into the roof judt below the body line of the roof it self. Then 30min later I can shoot the white right over it. This should look alot better then it was going to and the white will run right to the top of the drip rail edge. I will need to use my Sata mini jet4 gun to get down in the rail the way I want it then kick things up to the Sata 3000 for the rest of the roof. Well so much for this being a real quick paint job like i started to do. I wanted to just do a bit of body work and shoot it all together. Then i found the rust in the rockers so the doors had to come off as well as the fenders. Since the fenders came off that ment I had to remove the hood as well. While the fire wall was easy now to get to I opted for a repaint so it would look a bit better and make my EFI panels blend in better. Then the body work started and I just could not bring my self to let any little flaws not get fixed while I was their, it will only take a few extra minutes right! Then I decided I had to go a bit further and almost gut the dash so it would turn out decent and that ment more time and work to prep. So all in all it will end up nicer than I had planned but as my wife said I might as well do it right or I would never be happy with it if I didn't! She know me too well. But keep in mind this is still just my shop truck that will be used for dump runs, trailer towing and all around beating on. The last vehical that I finished for my self was a full on 71 Bronco rock crawler that ended up in for 4X4 power mag and was totaled 24hrs later when I was down in Johnson Valley on a wheeling trip. So this one will be nice but it will get used as well. Another 7hrs for today's work. Kevin LFD inc. 166hrs main build $6043.00 main build 68 Paint hrs $705.00 Paint |

Re: LFD's low buck truck build!
I used the 3M 2K self-leveling stuff on mine over a year ago. ZERO shrinkage and it still remains slightly pliable when cured, so no worries on cracking. Highly recommend.
