yeah that stuff is tricky on a verticle surface. You ever hear of dolphine glaze? Its the same stuff only about half the price. You probably know i just figured i would share in case you didnt.

I agree on being tricky on a verticle surface, especially in the summer. There are some guys in the shop that use dolphine glaze. I'll try it the next time I need a skim coat. I didn't know there was a big price difference.

I think of it as being a sprayable filler comparable to a skim coat. The last time I bought some it was cheaper than regular epoxy primer and has a high build.

It says it's a primer surfacer and can be top coated.

Find your local bodyshop supply and check with them. I think it requires a 1.8 tip on your gun. It is very thick. I'm not saying it's right, but I reduced it down with reducer to make it spray a little easier. On autobodytoolmart.com it's 61.99. Here is a LINK

Re: My 1965 build thread

Thanks Allan. I tried to buy it here at the paint store and they said it was discontinued. So much for the money I made today. Any ideas on where I would get a lock for my glove box. Do they have LMC for 59 Impala's?

I think the metal glaze is close to $30 of that sqeeze bottle, the dolphine glaze is like $12.. its in like a bag/pouch and close to the same quantity.

Might have to do a mail order. Here is a LINK for a glove box lock.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I keep telling myself all this sanding is good training.

Wax On, Wax Off.
I should be ready for my Ninja car polishing!

I told myself after doing the body work to my forst car in highschool I would never do this for a living. Look at me now. Before I couldn't spell bodyman now I are one. Where did I go wrong?

I keep telling myself something but it ain't that nice. Someday all of this hard work will be very satisfying.

Re: My 1965 build thread

I majored Architecture, and Commercial Art. What do I do??? Become a Mechanic I'm not sorry though. My friend is a Architect, and I was making more money than he was, besides I can repair my own car, which saves me a lot of money.

It's nice being in the shop. You don't have to dress up or shave.

Getting more done. The cab is almost sanded. I have a few little areas that still need to be sanded. If it wasn't for Mothers day I might could have it painted this weekend, at least the orange. Then I will go back and two tone it.

I mounted the seat brackets. I glued the floor reinforcements on with 3M 8515 panel bond and bolted it all together so it can set up. When I install the carpet I will remove the seat brackets so hopefully the floor reinforcements will stay in place.





The water pump and fuel pump also got installed.

Re: My 1965 build thread

When I grow up and get a 2 car garage of my very own I'm going to be a madman. Frame off restoration will be when I know I've arrived.

I can't stress how much I've learned from this thread that I'll carry with me for life most likely. Can't wait to use it..

No matter how old you are, your always learning something new. Even with all my experience I try to learn something every day.

You're 28? 1/3 of you're life is gone. You're right though I think we all have learned a lot from Allan and everyone deserves at least a 2 car garage.Thanks Allan. Everytime I look over your thread I see something new that I missed. Trucks look sharp you'll be driving it soon.

An old man told me to try to learn 2 things a day. It doesn't seem like much , but add that up over a lifetime. The problem is I forget 3 things a day.

Thanks Dave, I'm glad that people find this thread educational. In our jobs no matter if your a doctor, home builder or mechanic we get so use to what we do in our daily jobs and I myself thinks that others know just as much as I do or more about bodywork. The fact is it ain't true for the most part. I'm like ya'll if I had to build a house. I would be asking and watching others do their job and adapt their practices into something I can use. I never realized that I could ever help anyone thru the internet. I agree with Dennis (strodder), I'm always trying to learn everyday.

What kind of pins are you using and how long are you holding the trigger? Do they just fall off or do they come off when your pulling on them?
