Yea..Probly burnt orange
Oh yea..picked up a new hood today

 

thats crazy hope everything goes good and no more wrecks you might had said this but what type of spry gun are you using and where did you pick it up at doesnt look like you have any orange pill

 

I use a harbor freight gun for primer and devilbliss for base. And i had some orange peel..But im just good at wetsanding/buffin so i dont have much after that.

 

After i sandblasted/DA'd/Grinded/wirewheeled the rust for about 2 hours

I know shitty picture...I turned the heat off 10min before this picture.
Cold=Shaky

Battery box..Needs some bondo and paint but its not bad at all for 1 hour of work

good night shot
Measured for the battery wires
Buyin some tommarow.
And for the negative wire..Their are 3 grounds..One to the block, one to the core support and one to the frame. So i plan on putting my battery in my bed which means im gunna ground the battery to the frame and the frame to the block. Will i need the ground to the core support?
For the ABS.. Can i just cut those wires and call it good?
thanks

 

Very nice! I wish i had people locally to buy all that stuff from!!!

Keep up the good work!

Now that im out of school i plan on welding in my rear notches, welding up the crossmembers in the rear for the airtank, fixing my blower box, extending computer wires, Get all the air stuff hooked up..Thats about it..
Then primer begins!!

 

I have to say that you have come a long way.I am impressed with all the body work and paint.And Ik now how your luck feels.Keepm it up

 

i just looked through your whole thread, you do great work. glad you decided to bag it. Sucks about the accident but at least your fixing it and fixing it right! cant wait to see the new paint sprayed.

 

So after 2 hours in the paint shop i finally picked it.
Dupont Hot Hues Harvest Flame
Cost me $857 For Gallon+ a quart of base/clear and everything to spray it.
I cant wait!!!!

thanks for the good words!! It keeps me motivated

 

Got alot of work done the last couple days..

Backhalf

Backhalf 2

Hingeable cover

Extended computer wires

Welded in rear notch

 

looks good. but i must say, you should really look into doing a base clear. you would be helping yourself out by a long shot, its easier to spray, turns out nicer and it doesnt take that much wet sanding and buffing the clear out for it to be a smoooth paintjob. also, its not that expensive, if you go with a dupont chroma base thats pretty decently priced, thats what i went with and then all you need is the dupont chroma clear, i tihnk is what its called, but they have so many colors that you could probably find that hot hues color in regular base clear and save you some cash, for paint and clear i only paid right around 480.

 

i just went through your whole thread and man i got to say good job! I first seen this truck on cardomain and i think i was talking to you about it. Well good job on the truck i am inpressed.

 

truck is looking damn good keep up the good work

 

Yea im running dupont bc/cc
I need to go out to the garage..I did alot of work on it tonight

 

WOW after reading all 5 pages... WOW you went through ALOT and then the accident. thats why people have trailer queens... but I would never own something that I didn't ride alot. You totally have motovated me... I have been putting off welding in some 39 ford tails.... gona do them tomorrow!!! keep it up!

 

i could have swore the hot hues colors were a tri coat but maybe not? i guess you didnt specify that you were using bc/cc. it will just make your life easier and i think youll be happier with the end result with it. less time wet sanding it sprays out more even and smooth as compared to single stage.

 

Worked on my truck for about 5 hours today..

Mounting Valves, Pressure switch, relay and a few other things in the box..

Comressors mounted with rubber washers

New hood

The bags are almost done..Need afew more fittings and my AVS switchbox..

 

Everytime I come back to this thread, I get so stoked on how it seems to move along and sh!t actually gets done. Maybe I'll start getting to work on my own now
