Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
thanks... I'm not sure that my truck could still be considered the "money pit" anymore after undergoing three construction projects at once...

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
barn is coming along, I need to wait until payday to purchase a flooring solution...
1. Epoxy (100% solids, no flakes) 2. Waterbased Epoxy (flakes and acrylic clearcoat) 3. Basic Sealer, let it be a normal messy floor I need to stay under $400 if possible, the first choice is the toughest, second looks nicer but not as tough, third would change the look but would only cost $200 or so. Thoughts? In the pics I've bene spreading topsoil, thankfully bu buddy has a nice Kubota that he loaned me for the week, also spread some Apshaly millings for the driveway since $5K for new asphalt isn't happening right now.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I have the messy floor option. works for me. Seems no matter how neat I try to be, I ALWAYs look like a mess and so does my work area.
I guess I am gifted

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
The only issue I have with some of those epoxy floor coatings is they are crazy slippery when wet. A good sealer may do the trick but it seems oil still finds it's way through it. It really looks nice. Looks like your new place is coming along nicely.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Thanks... I might just do an epoxy primer which will give me protection, seal the concrete an leave room to make it nicer in the future. You can add anti-skid to most of these products. I need to do a moisture test though, I don't think I have a vapor barrier under the slab so that might shoot the whole epoxy idea.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
I'm jealous your shop is very cool. my back yard is about half the size of your shop. not having a moisture barrier under the slab their are several concrete sealers that will work to prevent moisture from coming up through the slab. I used David Watercolor W1000 concrete sealer on a couple of jobs 2 coats looks like semi gloss finish. not sure how it would hold up the grease and oil in your shop.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Thanks... it took us awhile to find a place with 1 acre that we could afford here in PA. In Indiana I had 5 acres, larger house (just in the boonies) and it cost 2/3rd this price with 1/4 of the taxes! I'm sure CA is crazy $$$ so I'll stick with here or the midwest, might retire in TN or northern AL in another decade so my money will go further.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
floor coated with epoxy primer, that's all i'm doing right now based on budget... should hold up to what I do in there. If not then I can always upgrade to full 100% epoxy and/or urethane clearcoat.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
thanks... I used Legacy Industrial Standard Epoxy primer http://legacyindustrial.net/cart/sta...mer-p-103.html
. Found them on garagejournal.com. They offer 10% off to GJ members and free shipping so it was a pretty good deal.

Re: 68 K-10 SWB build thread - project Money Pit...pics galore!
Truck moved out to the new shop, haven't had (made) the time to run electricity though...
I did make a parts run though... picked up two loaded doors, and rear glass with trim (all soft ray glass) for $90. Doors aren't bad for a PA truck, some rust in the pinch welds around the inside but it will get me started on rocker and cab corner install. The back glass would have been $100 new so i'm doing ok for getting the rest and a key for the doors! Better pics in a day or two.

Is that being parted out or did you snag the whole thing?
