Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Here's my two surprises hidden behind the windshield gasket. I bought some 16 gauge steel from Home Depot today to cut some patches out of. I haven't welded anything that thin yet, hope I don't make a mess of it. This is a bad area to have to cut the rust out of, can't get the cut off wheel in on both angles. I've got some bits for the die grinder that may work.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
That repaired section looks darn good! My experience with filler is the same: goes everywhere but on the low spot. Good thing that tree fell so you can get that all tuned up right. Nobody likes surprises...

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
If you don't have one already there are body files to shave the filler down before it completely sets. Makes shaping a bit easier.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Thanks Art. I'm going to try my luck on the floorpans next, I've got three or four smallish rusty spots that need to be cut out and patched. The steel seems to be thicker there so hopefully it's a little more forgiving.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Thanks Marcus. I thought I'd have the windshield in by now for the last repair pic but the guy is MIA. I'm ready to drive this thing again.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Hey John. i just glanced over your thread and something came to mind. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but that military green paint is a carcinogen. Be extremely careful when sanding that stuff, and wear a HIGH quality respirator. Just fyi.
Nice work on the truck! Mike

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Good build. I like the, learn as you go, method. I look forward to doing that with welding at some point too. I also grabbed some hammers and dollies to start tapping out little dents. Completely understand your comment about reverse dents. Did you get some good summer use of of this rig?

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Unfortunately, no. All my free time so far this year has gone to other stuff around the house that needed attention. I'm caught up around the house though, I'll have some updates soon.
I'd planned to finish this truck this year but that probably won't happen now. I've got a new engine for my other K5 that has been sitting in my shop a few years now, I'll get that one running again so at least both trucks are driving. Too many projects... |

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Good work. I used a seam sealer from 3M on my crew’s door jamb where the pinch weld comes together. Got it at the local paint supply store.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Thanks Marcus. The stuff that was there is more flexible like RTV but I think seam sealer will be fine. I need it on top and have to buy some anyway. I got the right side looking much better today. I still have some welds to grind on the left and check for any pinholes, but I expect to POR this within a few days and start burning in the floor patches.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Looks really good. I'm looking forward to seeing the patches burned in.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Im guessing you have that shade of green to blend everything in after the floor patches go in?

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Not sure where you are with seam sealer, but I thought I'd mention I had a decent experience using these two products. Some of the reviews say that the viscosity of the Eastwood product is a little thin, but I used it on a 55 degree day, which probably helped alot.
I used the 3M down inside of larger gaps, then 2K over the top. Pretty hard to go wrong with 3M stuff. Also, awesome work over the windshield, that's a tough area.

Re: Sarge's rattle-can rebuild
Thanks Mickey. Years back the PO of a house I bought left several boxes of that 3M strip caulk in the shop and I ended up giving them to a friend of a friend that owned a body shop. Guess I shoulda kept it.
The rear brace is finished and has a few coats of POR on it but I haven't welded in the floor patches yet. I'm going to need some more MIG gas soon. I'll order some of the Eastwood stuff, that looks like what was under the rear floor lip. Thanks again. |
