Re: Restoring Rusty

Re: Restoring Rusty

I give you the 11 ... [oops] 10 patches

for sanity reasons, I decided to double up with some patches so that one patch could span / cover two holes

Re: Restoring Rusty

anybody still with me, ok good, then it was time to make a mess

not sure if using a brush is the most efficient / effective means of spreading this JB Goop but maybe it will work

Re: Restoring Rusty

That's it for today, wondering if I should move this contraption in the garage for the night, or not mess with it and leave it outside over night - gonna be 56*F tonight - but shoot rain tomorrow

Re: Restoring Rusty

so it took 6 hours to set and 24 hours to cure, so I removed the C clamps and magnets after 24 hours - trust me the waiting was the hardest part, going to bondo the holes next, maybe tomorrow

Re: Restoring Rusty

Don't bondo them... Just use more JB weld and it will cure like metal and look 100x once you've sanded it all down good.

X2 on that...
Bondo will crack at the parting line with the holes. Lab Metal or JB Weld epoxy will not.

Re: Restoring Rusty

Looks great. Cannot wait to see the final product. Been wondering what to do with my dash so you may have just provided the answer.

Well the Tribe has spoken, we'll be using JB Weld.

So we hit O'Really's and picked up a jumbo tube of the stuff, $20 bucks for the 5 oz tubes instead of the little 1 oz tubes

Re: Restoring Rusty

Gregski, you inspired me! Picked up a donor bed today. I will be using the base, front and wheel wells. My original looks like it was used to haul loose cannon balls. Sorry, about the upside down pics.
