Re: Daverods project 66
You are moving along fast. I just primered my cab with slick sand my arms are tired. Slick sand is thick for a 1.8 tip. I had to reduce it with acetone. I think I'm going to get better doors instead of redoing mine. How did you flit the cab to get to the bottom?

Re: Daverods project 66
I just pushed it up on the fire wall. I put a couple 2x4s in front of it to get it to lean even more. What kind of gun are you using? I need to buy a real one. I bought mine from Lowes for $39 worked good after I took the air drier off.

Re: Daverods project 66
It's called ATP? It was a kit of three guns for 80 bucks at my local auto store. I couldn't tell you if it's good or bad but for what I use it for they have turned out great. My arms are still sore from all the primering.

Re: Daverods project 66
I sanded a little and my son came over to help with some filler work. Slick sand sands real nice even with 150. Yes the biggest tip was a 1.8. As for the rust bucket my truck was that till I cut and replaced all kinds of areas. The doors I think are shot so I'm going to find better ones.

Re: Daverods project 66
Parts fairy stopped by. Brought one of my door bottoms, I ordered two. They said the other one was back ordered. I see they still charged me for both. Been working on putting filler on and then sanding it off. It's surprising how many little dents you find. Kinda makes me wonder why I even primed it. Almost used a whole can just on the cab.

Re: Daverods project 66
Thought about drilling some holes in my crossmember. Thats about as far as that got. Fixed my door bottom and hung both doors. Still need to fix the bottom of the one. Cleaned off my transmission, pulled out my rear end, sanded on some stuff.

Re: Daverods project 66
Cut some holes in my cross member need to find some pipe so I can reenforce it. Recieved my steering column it did'nt come with the lower shaft. I found this one laying around I think it off a 77 chevy pickup. The problem is the ends are different sizes? Do I need to find a different lower end or can I make this one work. It is the kind that slides in and out. It's just the wrong diameter.

Re: Daverods project 66
So far it seems to be a good book "How to rebuild your Small -Block Chevy" by David Vizard.

Re: Daverods project 66
Put my tilt column in. Had to move my dash apart alittle bit more to get it centered on the column. Not really sure what to do about the clutch petal? I'm going with a auto. transmission Should I just cut it off? Need to get a steering wheel puller so I can put my old wheel on my tilt column. Going to try and get the dash welded back together and mounted tomorrow.

Re: Daverods project 66
Lookin good!
![]() You should be able to just pull the whole clutch pedal assembly out of there. IIRC it goes thru the center of the brake pedal assembly.
