Hi. Me and the Tank.
Just a quick Hi and couple of the Tank I'm doing.
85 3+3 duely 454 BB auto. Power everything. Man is this thing BIG. It's my neighbors next door and thank God he has a shop as well. Too much stuff to stash in my place. I got myself into this as a simple repaint but you know it's always more than that and as usual, the more I took apart the worse it got.  Mainly rust in the door and jamb seams,1 rocker,most of the cowel/firewall junction,little under the rear flairs which were as always,smashed.  I'm not a professional just an idiot who likes this abuse. My midlife crisis was to buy a paint gun and paint sports cars instead of buy one.Just like I misunderstood my father who told me to get a job IN THE air conditioning and I got one IN air conditioning.  I know several members here from other boards and will try to not bother you too much but I am fairly knowledgable at paint and will contribute as much as I know. Mike K.

Re: Hi. Me and the Tank.
 to the board from PA!  I recently got me a '89 GMC dually, and it almost looks like yours but mine is 2 tone black/red and the interior is red too, it seems like we even got the same wheel covers!! I'll post some pics later.

Re: Hi. Me and the Tank.
Thanks guys.
Yeah, it's a handfull and I'll probably end up having to pull the cab into 1 bay and seal the door around the frame and the bed in the other side to spray it. I'll jamb it and do the interior paint first. Don't think I can open the doors enough once it's inside. It's going Viper Red so at least it's a sold color. I'm using SPI products on the whole truck. REALLY good stuff especially their epoxy. Thats Southern Polyurethane if your interested. I still have a LONG way to go but I'm learning a lot about the body metal work I've not got into before which will be good practice befor tackling the 69 Super Bee. |
