Re: 72 K30 Build
Lot of time to clean and paint all the small parts, but it all adds up to a nice finished look. I've discovered that this attention is needed even for brand new parts. Got a new brake booster and master cylinder for my truck. Assumed they were coated, and they looked coated but are now covered in surface rust.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thank’s, deejaaa1!
Cab parts have been outside soaking up the UV light, some stuff is getting really close to paint. The hood is the first to get to 400 grit, cab also ended up outside after these pics were taken. My friend’s guard dog (Ozzy) is thinking about peeing on Mrs. 7dee2’s clean car, but decided not too after I yelled at him! ![]()

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thank’s, Scott! I really can’t take any cred as I’m still banned from the painting process. When I asked to help again, it was like do us both a favor and leave it alone!
![]() ![]() Mocked up the S6 compressor to see if the original brackets would fit OK, I’ve read some people had issues. The only modification that we needed was adding a thick washer on the rear lower pivot point.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Not too excited about the cheapo metric hardware that came with the compressor. Replaced it all with, you guessed it flange bolts!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thank’s Ryan!
This ECP/Entropy radiator showed up and I’ve been on the fence about it? ![]() Thought we needed it but I seem to be changing my mind and will probably stick with the 4-core copper and brass we have been using. Time will tell if that is the right decision or not. The good news is we can use this aluminum one for our half ton project later and probably won't paint it.

Re: 72 K30 Build
The engine is looking pretty nice with the air conditioner stuff on it! I'd go stock radiator as long as it's good.

Re: 72 K30 Build
That radiator does look pretty nice. Why not use it? Other than the stock appearing route you have going on.

Re: 72 K30 Build
looking good as usual... Brett did you paint or powder coat the radiator support? Battery trays etc?

Re: 72 K30 Build
That’s nice of you to say, Scott thanks. Core support is some heavy coats of that Zero-Rust paint over sand blasted metal just like the frame. Only difference is I sanded (prior) and cleared (after) a little on the frame and didn’t on the core support. Radiator is high heat VHT satin paint like the engine block and pulleys, etc. Battery trays and horns are also painted, Rust-oleum Canyon Black satin. Pretty sure the new fan shroud is powder, I believe.
While on the paint topic, we’ve got some white paint starting!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Hi I'm new here but have been following your build great job by the way. But I was curious about the zero rust paint. I am thinking about using it on my frame. Does it seem to be very durable as far as scratching and chiping? Did you use there Crystal clear clear coat on the frame?

Re: 72 K30 Build
The hood looks like it came out beautiful. I know there is a lot of work in that! I just spent the better part of a day doing just the color sanding on my hood repaint. Still have to buff it out. Your progress is amazing!

Re: 72 K30 Build
The paint is a dual stage color coat then clear coat?

![]() ![]() ![]() Thought someone might ask and for my own information here’s a break down so far of the products used. DP90 epoxy, 3-4 more coats of high build primer with this filler and then roughly 4 more coats acrylic urethane single stage paint. We’ve had really good luck with this paint on past projects so I'm a fan. Had the supplier bring in more base and did aquire a second gallon as it is slowly being phased out in favor of other products.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Ok, I would like to know how to cut and buff the single stage, I was under the impression it couldn't be done. I also need to get some high build primer in something other than a spray can, slick sand?
