Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
3M brushable is about 30.00 a quart, and the dumdum in 1/4" strips is cheap. I'll get a couple 12x12 cut out, there is more if you need it. PM me your addy... J

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Not much progress this weekend. Long weekend. Had to run up north Saturday morning then a bachelor party Saturday night so I didn't get started very early today. I don't think I ever really actually started, lol. I did get the sandblaster cleaned out and working. I picked up this stuff called Black Diamond. Not sure what kind of media it is but it works really well... I'm not going to do the bedsides or body panels with it just the top and bottom of the floor.

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Got the metal last night. Man you packed that good, I think a tank could've run over it and not hurt it, lol. Thanks for hookin' me up. I'll get you a M.O. out asap.
5150, nope not this weekend. I got some dough comin' but thats for primer, filler, sand paper, etc....... Its gonna be awhile before I get to go get some pretty parts. I've been looking at phantom grills. If anyone knows some good places that offer those, post up. |

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Worked on it a little today. Took my seats out and put them back upstairs. I got my bed metal from jaros44 this past week so now I can start on the bed floor. I welded in the patch behind the drivers door. It came out good, although I can't find my sanding blocks so the skim coat will have to wait. I shot some primer on for now. I've been working on the front grill cover for neighbors allis for awhile now. It was in 3 pieces, lol. We fiberglassed it back together then I put a thin coat of filler on it. The only rattle can color we could find was chevy orange...... It came out ok... I was going to spend some more time sanding but neighbor said, "paint it, I'll probably break it anyway", lol...

Re: "Slowly but Surely" Big J's build thread...
Nice work, how'd you like working with those clamps, any easier? Does everyone have an old plastic milk crate in their workshop?

Are you using your cutoff wheel in the angle grinder, or just the air die grinder?
