Happier with the results, but a lot more work.

Dash pad is bolted in now. Looks alright. I oblonged one of the holes so the pad would settle in better.

RatRod68 · 11-30-2012, 11:15 AM

it is a little more work, but the peace of mind knowing there isn't places where the metal can flex, shrink, expand or anything else under your gorgeous paint is worth the extra time. You will most definitely be happy with the result in the end.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-30-2012, 09:19 PM

Exactly what these guys are saying.

Your dash pad turned out nice. Is it getting chilly up there yet?

Gorgeous paint? You did read the part where I'm doing it myself and it's my first attempt right.

Not yet. Supposed to be 40's or warmer for another week or more. BTW, I'm working in Iowa next week. I have to go to Des Moines tuesday for a plant visit on wednesday.

Here is what I meant by the weld wire being rolled like crap. I just bought a new one but set them side by side to show the obvious difference. The unruly wrap on these small wire feed welders causes problems with how smoothly it feeds. It has more drag so you have to loosen the nut holding the wire spool and tighten the tension on the feed roller. The problem with doing that is if the wire hits the work without an immediate arc it can cause the wire to snarl at the feed rollers where a little looser tension there might be enough for the feed to slip and not snarl for better wire spools.

Went to an auction this morning and won the bidding for a leg vice. For those not familiar, it it commonly used by blacksmiths. The leg will go to the floor and brace it for serious hammering. For $50 I figured it was worth getting now and storing until I have room for it. It will pair up well with my multi-function vice I just got that has the rotating head on it. Eventually I'll have a shop where I'll be able to form just about anything I want.

Also won the bid for this cooler. I plan on polishing it up some and painting a chevy logo or script or something on it. I already have the one painted to match. For some reason I can't identify, I really dig these old coolers.

Oh, I did work on the Jimmy a bit too. Just kept tacking away on the driver side of the hood. I did most of the grinding and its about 95% done.

And here is a better pic of the dash pad.

I'm dragging my feet installing the rest of the dash parts. Mainly because I want to paint the kick panels first, then do the heater, then the rest of it. Once the paint is done though I might just mask it off and spray the als liner on the floor in the front half of the tub so its done and I can mount the seats. During all of this I still need to work on the hood. Egads that's a lot of work. Not sure I'll be painting the outside by New Years at this rate.

One more thing, I found that my horn relay was killing my battery. I think I have the horn parts messed up in the steering wheel. It doesn't move like it should and I thinks it's stuck on. I unplugged it for now but at least my battery will stay charged.

That cooler is awesome! Nice score.

I love old coolers too...I found this old Kampcold that is going to take up permanent residence in the back of my K/5 when it's done.

jaros44sr · 12-03-2012, 04:45 PM

Nice coolers, i like it...looks like i gotta start looking for one, nice accent piece

Truck is looking awesome, nice budget build. Wished my would stay on some sorta budget

Are you going to put a seam sealer in the toe kick area? or just use the liner as a seam sealer....

VA72C10 · 12-01-2012, 08:12 PM

Looking good!

Thanks VA.

This morning I finished welding out the passenger side of the hood. Not ground yet. Front next. Might be able to finish the welding today and get the top piece fit up and ready to glue down. Between weld passes I prepped the kick panels for paint. Sanding is done. I need to mask it all off and I can maybe spray it today.

hgs_notes · 12-02-2012, 07:50 PM

I was able to get the front of the hood welded today. No grinding though because I was going to be spraying paint. Which I also got done. I really wish I had sprayed the kick panels when I did the dash. Would have been so much easier. I just had a different plan at that time. Anywho, pics...

After sealer...

Painted.

I messed up a little on the driver side. Last coat of clear and the spray gun got hung up under the dash and I held the trigger too long, so it made a run and kind of made the gold look like it melted in a spot or that the metallic flake shifted. I can live with it. No pic of that.

Been a pretty productive week. This week won't be. Too much work (job) to do.

hgs_notes · 12-04-2012, 12:13 AM

Spent about an hour tonight masking stuff off on the floor and kick panels. I got a bead of seam sealer along the floor edge by the kick panels. Removed the gas pedal assembly. Now I just need to get the tint, wipe the floor down good and it's ready to spray the als liner. Probably have to wait until thursday or friday though.

Sometimes it's hard to say which I dislike more. Sanding or masking.

RatRod68 · 12-04-2012, 08:41 AM

sanding. that **** gets everywhere.

hgs_notes · 12-07-2012, 12:40 AM

This morning I picked up some tint for the Als liner. Just got done spraying it on. I'm having bad luck with the stuff not spraying evenly. I end up having to use a roller to even things out, which is a normal method also, just a bit of a pain.

Good enough for gov't work.

hgs_notes · 12-07-2012, 09:41 AM

Went out this morning to check on things. Its all still there. Waiting. Saying stuff like "Come on already, finish this up." and "What did you forget?"

Anyway, its setting up fine, but before I pulled all the paper out I figured I should spray those foot pedals black. Details, details.

I remembered to paint the transfer case shifter too.

Low Elco · 12-07-2012, 09:55 AM

I had a heckuva time with open time with Al's. It'd gel on me before I could get it on. Tends to leave quite a bit in the gun, it seems. Good product when done, though. Yours looks great!

I've been able to get it sprayed, but its a manic few minutes. I really think it covers more evenly with a roller though. And since the yellow is so light and I can sort of see through it in areas, I think I'm going to get a coat of paint in the bed before I line it, so it looks more even if the liner is a bit thin. Just a single coat for a base color. Probably should have done that with the front. I think it would have looked much better.

When I did my truck bed it wasn't as much of a problem because it was a darker color. But even there in the sun I can see small little dots that weren't completely covered and should probably be touched up.

I think if I was just using black I would just use one of the cheaper off the shelf bed liner kits. But when you want to color match you have limited choices.

hgs_notes · 12-08-2012, 12:26 AM

Next phase of the floor. Bed liner floor mats.

Without the masking you can see the floor is a bit to yellow. It needs a second coat anyway, so I'll try some tint that is more orange.

This has been one of those days where I just need to end it with one or 3 of these...

Low Elco · 12-08-2012, 12:49 AM

Got the front of yeller dropped tonight, have one for me, I'm out!
Posted via Mobile Device

hgs_notes · 12-08-2012, 09:07 PM

Last night I had some extra black bed liner. Decided to stick with the theme on my cooler.

hgs_notes · 12-09-2012, 01:14 PM

Last of the front floor work is done. The ford grabber orange was fairly close, but I thought I could do better, so I went through the body shops color chip books again and found a nissan color that was very close. Had the parts store mix up the tint and it was just a bit darker, so I added some of the grabber orange color to it until I thought I couldn't match it any better. It was really just looking brown because it doesn't have nearly the pearls or flake in it that the paint has, but that is actually a good thing because the pearls and flake don't work as well in coloring the liner mix.

No sprayer this time. I just don't like how it flows. I used a roller method. I had 3/8" mat rollers today, but I think the 1/2 would have been better. My method is to roll on a coat, then go back a few minutes later and coat again and keep doing it until I use up the mix. It worked for me.

Pics...

before...

Probably won't do much more today. This stuff needs 24 hours to cure and What I need to do next to the hood is grind welds. Don't need that dust settling on my tacky liner. Besides that, I need to move some stuff around so we can finally get our christmas tree up.

87Jimmy4JP · 12-09-2012, 10:06 PM

I would have to say, I think you nailed the color...and, with that many layers on there, I would say its protected!

looks great

Jp

hgs_notes · 12-10-2012, 03:40 PM

Thanks Jp. Putting the liner on with a roller actually makes thinner coats I think. Its almost like painting with household paint. I'm using up some of my vacation today. In and out of the garage. So far I got the heater box in, heater hoses (need to paint the vents yet), gas pedal, radio (not wired yet), heater control (need to find and hook up cables), gauges (need vac line and oil line through firewall), transfer case shift boot (need to find the screws) and glove box in.

Currently working on painting seat brackets, kick panel vents, console, etc. Will need to work on wiring and the other things in the parenthesis above, but its actually going together.

Check out my old radio. I bought this for my C-10 in the summer of 1984 I think. I used it until I tore my truck apart for the paint restoration. The aluminum mounting plate is the same one I made in shop class all those years ago. It just covers the holes and strengthens the mounting a bit.

71swb4x4 · 12-11-2012, 12:19 AM

Looking great!!

Interesting lighter, it looks like it's billet, is it?

Low Elco · 12-11-2012, 07:54 AM

Maaan, that's comin out nice! Are you hauling it to the bodyshop to shoot the outside?
