Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Pure genius on the speaker tilt! Such a common sense solution, but I never would have thought of it.

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Well I have mentioned that I have been getting other stuff done, as I was waiting for the paint to dry.
I also felt it was time for a new video offering. So, here is both !! http://youtu.be/olxPUPikMSw

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Cool idea on the door speaker. is your organe peel like little spots where the paint just "avoids" sticking to?? I had a similar issue once before where someone had used WD40 around a part I was getting ready to paint. The stuff in WD40 got airborne and settled on my part. I had to strip it off and wash it down with laquer thinner before I started again....

If it is truly "orange-peel" it could be caused by spraying the paint on too dry, thus not allowing it to flow-out before drying. But often this is misdiagnosed, and is actually "lifting" caused by using a lacquer product over an enamel paint or primer....What happens is the lacquer solvents bite in to the enamel causing it to lift, and look wrinkled... Moral to the story is, never use a lacquer product over an enamel, unless you use a good sealer, but you can always use enamel over lacquer...

Congrats on your new shineys from Modges, you lucky bastich !! They are going to really set your interior off like a firework ! Quote:
As far as the doors are concerned, the mods are about done, and I am prepping to re-hang them. I am only holding off waiting on my deadner and carpet to arrive so I can install those unrestricted by the doors. All I have left on the doors is to mount the side views and arm rests. If anyone has a pair of the arm rest nuts sitting in a spare door, please let me know if I can sway them from you!

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
Thanks Clem, I just threw it together.
When I got the vid of the moose last week, I knew what I wanted to do because the TV Show theme was totally stuck in my head as I was filming the beast !! (Wife and I stopped in Roslyn, WA and posed in front of the old Oasis Cafe from the show too... good times!) Quote:

I still need to temper it, and it still needs more shaving, but it is cool. As soon as the interior cab is done, moving under own power is next goal. That entails: Radiator purchase and install Power Steering Pump bracket mods Fan shroud mod/install Drive line install Rear Sway bar install Fuel Lines purchased, bent, and installed (main and return) All fluids put in (coolant, brake fluid, powersteering fluid, and oil topped off) off the top of my head, that should about do it. As for a date, I am still shooting to have it completely done by 4th of July weekend-ish. Ahhhh he was too little to mess with. I know that sounds funny, but really, he was a little-un. Quote:
I have seen what you are talking about, but that has not been my issue. I think it is more what Modges is saying below.... Quote:
It starts off looking like Mojave mud flats, with the cracking and peeling, only wet. It turns all the paint, no matter how many layers there are into goo. Even if I let it dry, sand it out, and reshoot it, then other areas adjacent to the first spot will do this. So far the only remedy I have found is to strip it all down to bare metal, and use the oil and wax remover that I have. Then while it is still wet with the remover, I wipe it down with clean rags until the area is both dry and the rag is clean. Only then can I re-shoot my paint without strings of cuss words attached. The next time (as if I want that to happen again...) I will be sure to shoot some pics and maybe video. Well until next time.... Rock On Dudes and thanks (always) for looking at my junk. Heheehhehehe (no Bomp, not THAT junk)

Re: Not Another Rebuild Thread....
What Modges said was my next direction without seeing it. I had that happen too on a pumper I did for a friend. i was using a cheap enamel over a laquer primer that was sealed, but I had sanded thru a few small spots and thought it would be OK, it wasn't. I had to strip it all down and start over like you mentioned.
Anyways, I always like looking at other's projects and learning from their troubles and helping out when I can.
