Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
John,
Nice work, I really dig this truck. Hopefully you know the members down your way that are talking about doing a get together this year somewhere between San Hoe and Vacaville. Thanks for the pics, makes the thread! Devin |

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
Thanks fella's for all the kind words !!! These words keep me going....because I am usually a #1 procrastinator !!
Anyway...here are two more pics...What I did, to change it up a little, was add a second coat of textured paint to the engine compartment. I wanted to somewhat hide the imperfections of the engine bay sheetmetal. I masked everything off from the top edge down...but now realized I need to go all the way the fenders edge..I think that will look better...What do you guys think ?? John Two pics...... ![]() - ![]()

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
Well, what I mean is not up by the cowl..(that will remain primer)...but over the top of the inner fender, and stop the tecture right where the fender attaches. Anyway, I think it came out ok. This kinda sets it off a little, instead of having everything black. What I really wanted was a textured paint that had RED spreckles in it..that would of been SICK...But I could't find any in rattle can...although they have that in that zolotone stuff (spelling?) which uses a spray gun...didn't want to mess with that right now.
I'm just dieing to get this engine back in.... John

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
I think I would go all the way to the fenders also. If you are keeping the radiator support covers, paint them with thee textured paint too. Is the engine going to be red?

Re: Project "Rock-a-Billy".....Saga Continues.....
I'm going to pressure wash under the hood, and do that as well....
Now once I give a body a nice satin primer...it should set it off nice. I probalby should clear the engine bay.....but ?? John

If you clear it, just use a satin clear.

Well this is all I got done this evening...painted the rest of the engine bay, and the frame......
