Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Looks great man. I will have to remember to shoot the fender well area as well.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Looks good man. You should try doing it with the cab upright. It took me almost 3 weeks to complete that. And as you said glad I am done.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
I'm sure. My neck didn't appreciate the position I was in, but I'm sure it would have been far more bothersome had the cab been right side up.
I just noticed that in the pictures it looks like the board I was sitting on was resting on the door jambs. It wasn't. It was placed atop crates on either end. |

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Sorry to bother you again...haha but you're a bit a head of me so I thought I'd ask hoping it'd be fresh in your mind.
The floor pan replacement has an opening in it. One side welds to the rocker and the other to the back lip of the cab wall. What about the space in between? Does it simply need to be squeezed close enough to weld that up or how did you go about this. Thanks. |

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
No problem. That space is closed by the "ear" on the rear cab support.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
If your cab is standing nose up, would you mind snapping a picture of that. I think I may have shorted one side I did the floor pan repair on. It doesn't quite reach the back wall flush. So I need to see what should happen to may add some relief cuts or cut the end off and add sheet metal in between to make it flush against the back wall.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Yep, I'll try to remember to do so the next time I'm over at the shop.

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
Thats different. How many coats did you shoot on? The look of it grows on a guy.
Like it! |

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
that's the same silver hammertone I used on the inside of my truck, it took me like two or three tries to get an even coat! are you going to clear coat over it or leave it? im not sure if I want to or not it makes it easier to do touch-ups if I don't!

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
I don't intend to clear over it. It's a nice slick surface, as is.
If all goes to plan, the frame should be blasted next week, and the cab should be upright this weekend. ![]() |

For me, letting the paint basically "fall" in place seems to get it laid out much better. Hope that is helpful....

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
You have to be careful when using that technique with a gun, as it's easy to end up with "dry spray". Any textured, hammered, or metallic paint is going to require a little additional care to lay down a uniform coat, but you'll have an easier go of it with a gun rather than rattle cans.
All of the primer/paint on this project thus far has been shot with a typical siphon-feed gun, with the exception of the Raptor bed liner coating, which was shot with a Schutz gun. The interior paint above consists of two coats of Rustoleum Hammered Silver, thinned 15% with Xylene with a little acrylic enamel hardener added, which was shot over one solid coat of Rustoleum primer (which was thinned 10% with Mineral Spirits plus a little hardener, IIRC). |

Re: Bringing the '65 back to life
You're making great progress. I like your choice of interior color. I'm going with a silver, also, but not the hammered. You seem to be in about the same place I am on the cab. I just flipped mine back upright this weekend also and will be working of the firewall inside and out and the interior. I'll be keeping an eye on your progress. Maybe I can learn something.
