Looks good! Nice that they provide clean open hardpoints to mount that kinda stuff. Nice job x3,482

I just went through your whole build last night (only had time to look at pictures, not read it all) and this is going to be an awesome truck! I can't wait to see it finished!

Finally got to read through the whole thing Mike, its coming along quite well! Your starting point was similar to mine it looked like. Jumping on board to watch you finish it out.

Thanks. Yeah the top was good to go, the bottom, I used some 1/4" sheet metal screws to secure it to the radiator support. I will add some rubber to isolate when I do final install.

Busy night in the shop yesterday:

big d's red67 · 01-21-2014, 10:41 AM

Looking good.

knomadd · 01-21-2014, 12:01 PM

What's the name of that primer? It looks like the stuff they used on the Powerblock TV show, Musclecar. I like the look of your progress. Keep it up.

It's Z-chrome rust defender. LINK It's a sprayable polyester. It builds really good and sands good too. It's kind of expensive though. around $100 a gallon and it doesn't go very far either. I started using it on the bed so, I'm kinda stuck with using it for the rest of it now. I've already used 3 gallons

Ouch! I think that's the stuff they used on the Musclecar show. It looks good though. I bet the end result makes it all worth it in the end.

Dean'smeanmachine · 01-26-2014, 10:50 AM

that primer looks great! @ $100 a gallon

Bennett68C10 · 01-21-2014, 12:48 PM

Nice job Mike, you will have color in no time

**68 Four on the Floor** · 01-21-2014, 11:57 PM

Yeah there are several brands out there that make it. I just got this because it was handy.

Great job, looking good!

Thanks Jimmy.

Great lookin' Primer party! Ugh, now ya gotta sand....

litew8 · 01-25-2014, 12:50 AM

Looking killer Mike. Once you get the cab knocked out, you'll feel so much better knowing there isn't much left!

jlsanborn · 01-25-2014, 10:43 AM

Nice work on the e-fans! Can't wait to see some of this red and coming together.

Zoomin · 01-31-2014, 09:07 PM

I soak that kind of stuff for a couple days with Evapo Rust and does a pretty good job for those of us without blasting cabinets..

Looking good Mike. Keep moving forward.

I'm not sure if anyone makes the hinge bolt exactly like the original or not?
You could probably find some very close at McMaster Carr or Fastenal.
But it's hard to beat the originals.
How many you have that are questionable? I'm going to end up with extras. Plus, I have a few old parts trucks out there. I can send you as many as you need.

Thanks Steve. I have never tried evapo rust sounds like good stuff. I like having access to cabinet. It makes quick for most of these ole rusty parts.... Dang it takes a bunch of parts to build one of these trucks.

litew8 · 01-31-2014, 09:55 PM

Thanks for the offer Mike! But I'd rather buy new black chromate ones if possible. There were just a few that got chewed up pretty good, figured I'd replace them all one day anyways.

I've got some good used ones if you decide OE ones will work for you. Just let me know.
