Ok guys, another minor update. First up: at least it wasn't hot today when I decided to go work on the truck........

protrash64 · 07-12-2009, 12:11 AM

If you cant tell......its 110*. I also wanted to put out some general info that I discovered today. I bought power window regulators a couple years ago and I finally decided to scope 'em out. Looks cool and not too difficult at all....but here's what I found. I have the Electric Life kit for 64-66. You must drill to mount the motor assembly and it leaves 3 screws exposed thru the door!!!!. 2 will fall in the lower portion of the door and 1 falls in between the raised area and the door panel. I dont care that much, but I could see some people being very upset with it.

Decided to knock out the front clip with the 'bodymans palm pilot'

...used some 180 and went to town. My front clip is in good shape and will take the least amount of work so I just decided to hit it and quit! Need to do the corners, edges and small work but it was nice to get the majority knocked down in about 2 hours. I'm trying to keep up with shortbed 70

...not really. Put in some more effort on the doors and will be repairing the drivers door soon.

Also got to use the round Durablock as Alan suggested in the 'indent' of the door and it worked nicely. I'll probably go back over that area of the bed before primer gets stuck. Enjoy. (Notice my Craigslist find= 36'' Maxx Air fan)

cool man, glad you seem to be having a cold front hanging around

that fan is a nice find

kyle4381 · 07-12-2009, 12:32 AM

Looking good. I will come by and check out the progress. Maybe roast the new Michelins...

Thanx for the inquiry....you're pretty much right on. I was laid off for nearly 6 mos and that is when I started the work out of boredom as I stated in the beginning. It was kinda a reverse psychology type thing; I knew if I started doing something that I really wanted to do, I would get a job......and sure as sh!t I got a job. I work for a solar electric company installing grid-tied photovoltaic systems. We start at 4:30am and its HOT

....sometimes I cant even eat dinner Ive been cooked so bad during the day. I dont have a lot of energy left for the truck lately. This is the worst couple of months in the Valley IMO and I probably wont resume anything major until temps moderate a bit. I have some neat stuff and changes coming up and I will post up when I get going on them.

Hope everybody else keeps on truckin' before winter; I'm waiting for winter to get something done.

shortbed70 · 08-15-2009, 02:18 PM

Well congrats on the new job and I understand about the heat thats why I haven't done anything with mine in two weeks but today I got board and primed the whole cab hopefully for the last time.

Strodder · 08-17-2009, 07:36 PM

Subscribed. Have to catch up now.

scotts62 · 08-17-2009, 09:32 PM

but looks like we have to wait until winter to see any pics

Oh yeah and congrats on the new job

hAetWagon · 08-18-2009, 04:04 PM

The truck looks good. That palm sander may get you into trouble for body work though...lol

A palm sander is not recommended for body work as it leaves little circles everywhere;

I used 180g paper just to knock the high build down and I will be covering it in another layer of high build. I know its not good but its the only power tool I have for sanding, not enough air capacity for a line sander at my house. It did a good job for what I needed done as I kept it moving and there is not any serious stuff to do on the front clip. If I spray on the primer as thick as the last batch, nothing will ever be seen

daverod · 08-18-2009, 05:30 PM

Here's what I use. It's orbital. Don't cost to much.

Dinos63 · 08-18-2009, 06:00 PM

JEFF I KNOW HOW YA FEEL, IT JUST NO FUN TO WORK ON STUFF WHEN YOU ARE BAKING

MacAttack · 08-19-2009, 09:24 AM

It may hit 78 here today.

jchav62 · 08-18-2009, 06:24 PM

I was born and raised in Henderson, NV, just outside of Las Vegas, not much cooler than Phoenix. I built my '62 there, mostly in the summer of 2001. Almost died a few times it was sooo hot. I was an impatient SOB. Then I moved here to NM, got an office job...really softened me up. If it's above 90 degrees, I can hardly hang... I have to stay inside by the fan..

Yeah...don't bring that blast up. I was 13 years old and it ruined me... I haven't slept right since... j/k

May 4, 1988... I was in the pizza line at lunch at Brown Junior High School... I remember it well. My Dad actually worked about a mile away at a lime plant when the blast happened. Scary stuff for a youngan...

I was just across town Joe. We evacuated and when we got outside we saw that mushroom cloud. I was sure the Russians had just bombed Vegas and we were done for. Too much cold war, Russian, Commie talk from my Grandpa during my childhood I guess.
