Re: My 1965 build thread

D/FW Texas! I'm about 3 miles from Texas Motor Speedway.

Nice Classic!
I am painting one of the first ever turbo Miata's right now.
Its a real early 90, and is Classic Red of course.
Actually the 3rd really early (first couple hundred) Miata i have painted recently. (all Red)

Looks like y'all have more than one, we have 5.
(90 Crystal, 92 BnT, 93LE #737, 93LE #783, and a 95M)

Re: My 1965 build thread

I got alot done today. I took the front sheetmetal off. Finished up the door gaps. Finished blocking and primed again and sanded on the frame. I've still got alot of sanding to do to the frame.

Thanks to sdailey for his help today.

I will post some pix once the site gets straightened out or you can go to my picture link in my signature.

It was a hard top and someone tried to make a convertble out of it. It's at Bob's Impalas and he said he's not saving this one. It was only 30 minutes from the house. I got lucky finding it.

I love it!! Easy clean up and once the material that is extra setups up in the PPS liner it is not hazardous anymore (they say) since it is a solid. It's a little pricey, but it is worth it to me. I use 3M brand but there are some others that are cheaper. Plus you can spray at any angle without drips.

Thanks Man. I love this kind of work. I wish I could get out of the collision industry and get into restorations for a living. I would love to learn how to fabricate more and be creative.

Re: My 1965 build thread

The cab has finally moved. I took the doors off and with the help of Sdailey we got it on the floor and on it's nose. I ground down my burn thru. I hope that I can mud it tommorrow.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Ok everybody I'm going to spill the beans on Alan. I'm his neighbor and I've watched him work on this truck since he first towed it home. He plays this little modest, naive body man act pretty good. Don't let him fool you about his talent. This guy is good. I've watched him in action and it comes pretty easy for him. Plus, he has every tool known to man. So don't fall victim to his "pity" story about him not being any good.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Thanks fellas.

I don't know if I believe sdailey or not. For you see I was having trouble with my new chain fall. The chains were in the way. I was just going to tie them back to the wall and then he said just hang a bucket on the hook to hold the chains. Now who is the smart one and who is the naive one?

Re: My 1965 build thread

yeah the chain did not break, whatever style ratcheting mechanism that was in there just stripped out and let the chain go,hence the sparks as the chain shot through there!
That motor was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground , and it hit the cement in 1 second, bounced a tad and fell on its side.
I think the weight limit was way exceded, and it was kinda worn out too.....

Re: My 1965 build thread

I've been busy, but not all of my time was spent on the truck. The bottom of the cab is getting a little closer to being done. I have to patch the left rear cab support and finish the filler.

I painted my wifes 92 sunburst yellow (only 1519 made). This is the last personal project other than my truck. Maybe I can concentrate on my truck more now. On-the-other hand, I've got a couple people in line to get some body work done. I've got to put a trunk floor pan in a 65 Buick GS (I think that is what it is). The other one is replace a quarter panel and do a complete color change on a Miata.

Link to Miata in pix

Re: My 1965 build thread

Since my build is slow and boring at this stage, I thought why not make it informational. Since I'm a bodyman why not share some of my knowledge. Every bodyman has his or her own way of doing things and by no means do I know everything. What I will talk about works for me. Give me some feeback on this. If it's not any help to anyone then I won't do anymore.

These pix are from what I was working on tonight. I only had time to block on one door.

The first pic is an assortment of blocks and air tools. There are numerous blocks on the market. You can get creative in making a block that works best for you. In the pic there is long 3/4" PVC pipe covered with file paper to block the inside long curves. I also made up a 18" wood block (ash) ran it thru a joiner to get a true flat side. I'm using it to block my doors.

Once I prime I dust a light coat of black paint called guide coat to assist in showing low spots as seen in the pic.

If this is helpful, let me know and I will keep posting info like this as I go.

Re: My 1965 build thread

Alan, thats great informationk, that would be great if you could give us little hints on things that will make life easier on us trying to do bodywork. My question is when you are blocking the area do you go in a criss-cross motion over the area? Any help would be greatly appreciated, keep up the great work, thanks Michael from Arizona.
