Thanks Jason. I just want to get it running and on the road. Then I'll blow it apart and paint it, but I'll do the inside and the frame first, before I drive it & paint the outside later.

daverod · 05-04-2010, 10:10 AM

Nice plan. I think I'll do the same.

But your way ahead of me.

daverod · 05-04-2010, 05:56 PM

But I need an air compressor before I can do much more. Come on money tree. I'm thinking you'll be done first.

watahyahknow · 05-04-2010, 07:27 PM

friend of mine used a couple of propanetanks hooked up in series with a big water seperator and a realy small compressor he let it run for bout 2 hours to fill up the tanks before he started painting .
it worked pretty good no airpulses from the compressorpistons or water/oil in the air to ruin the flow out the gun
the small compressor does have a shorter than normal lifespan running it that way but its cheaper to replace then a big compressor and has more use like lifting it up a stairs and use it to power a tacker or nailgun

Strodder · 05-04-2010, 08:05 PM

I think Dave is talking about a compressor for the air bags. Are U Dave??

i figured he answered to youre idea to paint the inside and run it as is for a while but if thats the case he could use a aircopump out of a certan year volvo ( think i still have that website somewhere if you need it ) or a CO2 tank with a regulator tied down in the bed for the time being ...... there a lot of guys doing it that way sumtimes because its cheaper than a pump but most of the time to get the bags filled a LOT faster

daverod · 05-04-2010, 11:06 PM

I was talking about a compressor for painting/sand blasting.

But I need two of the other kind also, I don't need those for awhile though. I was looking at getting one from Lowes for about 800. When I get it I can start painting some stuff. I already burned up a pancake compressor.

Strodder · 05-04-2010, 11:37 PM

Sorry, I was soooooo confused...

daverod · 05-04-2010, 11:47 PM

Happens to me all the time.

Your forgiven.

Strodder · 07-13-2010, 09:26 PM

I'm getting close to start working on her again. I have a 06 Ford Focus for sale. When it's sold I'll have all that money to buy a bunch of stuff for the 65. I have to finish the roof, then will work on the interior. I have to shave the dash first then paint the inside of the cab. Then I can install a windshield. Then get back on the frame, and install a chrome triangle 4 link with bags front & rear. Also notch the frame then I'll have it sand blasted, and powder coated. This is why I stopped working on it. Now I need to spend some money. The Focus will fix that. Now I just have to sell it. Stay tuned.

Strodder · 07-13-2010, 09:28 PM

Plus my camera is broke, and was sent in to be replaced. Still waiting for it to be sent.

daverod · 07-14-2010, 12:18 AM

"This is why I stopped working on it. Now I need to spend some money".

Word

"Plus my camera is broke"

Stay tuned. Your a funny guy. Now sell that car.

Alan's Classic · 07-14-2010, 12:25 AM

We've been waiting this long, what's a little while longer?

Strodder · 07-14-2010, 01:25 AM

Thanks for your encouragement guys.

A used car dealer offered me $5,500 for it. I'll advertise it first. I'm trying to get $6,200. But $5,500 would buy a lot of stuff.

daverod · 07-14-2010, 11:30 AM

So did you buy it fix it up and sell?

No, my Aunt passed away and it was left to me. My Daughter got the house, and I got the Fu*kus.

watahyahknow · 07-16-2010, 05:27 AM

better half an egg than an empty shell (old dutch saying ) 6000 dollar isnt sumting to sneeze at

daverod · 08-07-2010, 11:19 AM

Come on!!!! How long does it take to sell a car? Truth, you sold the car and spent the money on that damn Vette did'nt you.

Don't forget the name of your thread is "Cheap build up". You should'nt need any money.

You said this in the first paragraph "I am going to use everything from the bumper bolts to the wiring harness". What else do you need? Your trucks not still parked out in back of your shop is it?

Don't make me go Goggle on your a$$. Carry on. I feel better now. I hope Liz does'nt see this she hates it when the a$$ is hanging out.

Strodder · 08-07-2010, 12:29 PM

Soon I'll be getting back on it. I will still use all the crap of the 73. But some things I have to spend money on. Like the A/C, paint, Upholstery, Engine Machine work, and tires. The ones on there are rotten. I still haven't sold the F*ckas. That Used Car Dealer asked his buyer, and he said they will only give me $4,000 for it. I'm trying a little longer to sell it. My price went down to $5,000. I hate looking at it in front of the house. Not one call from Craigs List.

Strodder · 08-07-2010, 12:34 PM

Mean while this is what I've done lately.

4dranch · 08-07-2010, 04:37 PM

I don't know who's crazier.... you or whoever took the picture. nice reading your stuff again Dennis..

My wife took the picture. I have her trained.

CVA59 · 08-10-2010, 06:48 PM

Strodder.................. Can you tell me what size those Cragar S/S rims are you have on the front? 15x6 or 15x7 ?
Thanks,

Strodder · 08-10-2010, 08:44 PM

They are 15x7 front and 16x8 in the rear. I would love to have 17" all around though.
