I used a couple pillow block bearings that were mounted vertical with the same size bearing to make a speed reducer for my industrail sewing machine. Could be usefull to mount on top of a crossmember.

I finally got all the rust off and some metal prep on it to keep it from rusting again.
Now I just have to figure out how to hang the frame in the garage so I can paint it without to much trouble.

With all the neat stuff you have made, I know hanging your frame is no problem...Jim

Well I finally made a little progress on the truck.
Got the frame cleaned then primed and the first coat of paint on it.
I used Rustoleum "Hammered Black" in a quart can which really looks like a very dark grey when it is applied.
This kind of annoyed me as I used a rattle can on some of the small parts and it is a little darker.
The other thing that is annoying is the window for a second coat. If you don't get it on in under 4 hours you need to wait 7 days because of the way this stuff dries.
It looks O.K. in the pics but definitely needs another coat.
Kim

Kim57 · 11-15-2012, 03:30 PM

I also detailed the engine. I used some cast aluminum paint on the heads and block and a light blue metallic on the intake rocker covers and pan.

1Bad,

That's it.
I'm going to use a small roller for the second coat to see if it makes it any easier.

Thanks.
I always planned on 2 coats and may do 3 just because its the frame.
I've read the longer this paint sits the tougher it will get.

ChuckDriver · 11-15-2012, 10:06 PM

Nicely done!

Painter D · 11-15-2012, 10:56 PM

Motor looks good

Chevette · 11-16-2012, 10:53 AM

Very nice, Kim.

mknittle · 11-16-2012, 12:02 PM

I did under the seat for a test. that way if I iscrewed it up it would be covered up.

silicone and paint dont mix well.

Kabwe · 11-16-2012, 12:23 PM

Kim,

Just load her up and drop it off. I have to kill some time waiting for the first coat to cure all the way through.

The Holidays slowed me down quite a bit.
I hope to get the frame put together in the coming weeks.
I'm waiting on new ball joints as the ones I had sitting on my shelf for it turned out to be the wrong ones.
The place I ordered them from is working on getting me the replacements.

It's been a couple weeks now so I'm getting a little antsy.
I broke down and sent some of the suspension parts out for powder coating.
I'll post pics when I get a chance.

solidaxel · 01-15-2013, 12:37 PM

Nice work!!!, what color are you going to use on the suspension parts?
