Well, no pics but so far so good with the Picklex. It does remove surface/flash rust very well. Not sure about the long term protection and all the other claims yet. Time will tell...

I just saw this today and thought of the Beam

Next project.....Stupid big turbo?

LooseCannon · 03-30-2013, 10:32 PM

Question on the rotisserie, do you think it could be adjusted down to work with a C10 cab? Thx

watahyahknow · 03-30-2013, 10:53 PM

i seen sumtin else that worked well on truckcabs two big L shaped pieces made from box steel that bolted intoo the chassismount holes
you put it on the floor and just push it over to work on the bottom , its a whole lot cheaper and simpler to make than a rotissery

this might work too

Frizzle Fry · 03-30-2013, 11:52 PM

Hey guys. I'm just finishing up about two months straight of working 6days/wk 12+hrs/day (had 14 in a row in there somewhere). 2.5 weeks off coming up! Driftbeam will be getting some serious love soon!!!

That thing is so badass! No turbo for mine. SC if anything (no messing with exhaust).

It can! the center span is fully adjustable. It's so nice to flip the body over with no effort and set it at any angle you want

Cheap is good. It all depends on your wants/needs.

Good timing Nuke

I've had very little shop time for the last couple months due to crazy work hours (6x12+) weeks plus travel. But I am now off for two weeks

The goal is to have the car to the paint booth before I go back!

Here's a little sneak peek of what I've been up to:

Very clean seam sealer. I may have to steal that trick myself. Nice work.

Frizzle Fry · 04-11-2013, 03:26 PM

I can't take credit for that one. Works well.

I saw that trick on one of the Powerblock shows a few years back. Highly recommend it!

LOVE this build btw. You do amazing work that makes me cry as I realize how truly poor everything I do is!

Whatdoyaknow?

More pics (from a real camera this time).

Finally closed up the gaps in the rear floor exhaust clearancing:

Driver's Side cleaned up:

Prep for Rust Encapsulator application in the hard-to-reach areas:

Weapon of choice (reached deep inside the rockers with this)

Looks thick here, but it levelled out pretty nicely:

...and another shot of the seam sealage (messy looking stuff near the front is actually rust encapsulator:

71swb4x4 · 04-13-2013, 05:31 PM

That looks very nice!

dammitmitchell · 04-13-2013, 07:43 PM

what seam sealer is that? i diddnt see it in the above posts.

watahyahknow · 04-13-2013, 08:07 PM

by the way if youre tired of ripping youre finger on ragged edges of the metal while smoothing the bead of sealant you could use a round brush with the hairs taped up to about 2/3th of the way it presses the chaulk in further too

67ChevyRedneck · 04-13-2013, 10:25 PM

You're going to need to bring mirrors with you to shows!

watahyahknow · 04-13-2013, 10:29 PM

he needs to clearcoat the metalfinish itself , leaving the metalwork and welding visible , i bet there would be a lot of techheads and sheetmetalworkers who would like to see what's done to the car or how he did a perticulair job when he shows the car off

Frizzle Fry · 04-14-2013, 02:45 AM

It's all getting covered with body colored Raptor Liner

Seam Sealer is Fusor 803.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 04-14-2013, 11:53 AM

Damn that there looks like work.... I agree gonna need some mirrors to show the bottomside.

I meant taping off all the seams might be more work than it's worth. But half is done that way now so...

Did I mention that I dragged home a spare Minx? Got a bunch of nice spares from this car including all glass, bumpers, doors, hood, trunk lid, and lot's of misc items.

The entire front clip is welded on ...and cut off:

Let me know if there is anything you'd like to part with, I'm looking for the interior drivers door panel, rear bumper and maybe dash.
