Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
For blotchy, do as mentioned. But also keep the most constant speed you can.
Agree about the looking under fenders. Missed a spot on my last primer job, DOH!! |

And 1 for me, most songs hook you with a guitar riff, this one hooked me with the drums....

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Might not be getting sprayed this weekend now. Their dad is going to use the booth this weekend and they said I might be able to get it in next week, during the day if they don't have to use it. Dammit!

Maybe, but feels like a snails pace to me getting the body and paint done. Friend from the body shop came by so I could see if I was taping it up right. I wasn't. Had to pull off about half of what I had done because I was too close to the edges. He said to stay away from the edges or it can peel the paint off with the tape in an area that will require a repaint. I looked at how they taped my truck ( ![]() Since I'm not painting I think I'm gonna get in some fishing this weekend. The boat is running good now and I don't have many days before the weather gets uncooperative to be out on the water. I went last weekend just to check out the motor and get some worms wet. I caught about 10 fish, all to small to bother cleaning. My youngest likes to fish and we need some fresh stuff to fry up.

![]() The hitch came with some 1/2" thick re-inforcement parts, but I used them as spacers between the hitch and frame, then had other re-inforcement plates to use on the other side of the frame for added strength. The side views of the hitch show it good. I can't remember what holes I had to drill, if any. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is no way close to how the manufacturer recommends installing this hitch. I used what I had available and did the best I could to make it work. It's a class 3 hitch and I used this same set up (minus the spacers between the frame and hitch) on my C-10 for a few years to pull a 20" Four Winns open bow run about with inboard/outboard. The boat itself weighed over 3000# I think. Never had any issues and my frame rails on the C-10 looked just fine after I removed the hitch. I have no intention of ever towing something that heavy with the Jimmy, but I wouldn't be scared to if I did. Hope this helps.

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
As for a Jimmy update, I did more taping.
That is all. Go about your business.

Yes I did. I got 3 crappies, a large perch and a bullhead. Didn't keep the bullhead. Ick. It was a nice calm day out on the water. I have almost all the taping done that I can do before I get in the booth. Except for an adjustment to make on the driver door edges anyway. I wiped it all down with wax/grease remover this morning and have some paint prep stuff to use before I spray it that is a milder solvent and flashes off better. I'm heading to Fremont, NE tonight and home late tomorrow. Will figure out when I can get in the booth after that.

![]() BTW, Looks like you have been taking remedial courses at sensitivity school. (signature) I stopped by the body shop on my way out of town yesterday and I was told the paint booth is mine tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Working all day here in NE, then a 5 hour drive home tonite, so I won't know for sure til tomorrow morning, but it looks good. I will have both brothers there for support and advice all day too, which helps ease my mind. Worst case is I will have to do some sanding and respray. It's not like I'm going to break anything. ![]() I better put in for a day off before I forget.

Re: Junkyard Jimmy Super Low Buck Build Thread
Sorry fellas. Not today. Maybe tomorrow. Probably tomorrow. They got a business to run and yesterday afternoon a customer wanted something done today that they need the booth for. Paying customers take priority.
