    Thinking about building a truck from basically scratch

    Ok a little progress I found a different machine shop that is accepting work, and ran down both of my engines that I have in pieces. Not in huge rush but tired of being put in indefinite hold. At least want my stuff evaluated and told what machine work I need so I got a feeling what that part...

    Snapper motor replacement

    That was a feature of all of those rear engine snappers they had a big bumper of sorts exactly for standing on end

    Powdercoating anyone?

    I just got some powder primer I'm gonna experiment with. I re sandblasted some door hinges that came out the wrong shade of green to redo and compared to some powdercoated parts I've stripped my efforts came right back off easier than most. I also have some motor mounts and engine accessory...

    I think the recoat was up to 3 months . I'd have to check again. I think on the short end it was "after 8 hours". But I'm not looking at it at the moment. Tuesday I had "dry spray" when I had the small doors flat on sawhorses today I got a couple of runs having them vertical.... None...

    Sherwin Williams acrylon

    Today's progress. A 2nd coat on everything I did Tuesday plus a heavy double coat on what is the inside surface of both man doors.... I found a way to hang them so I could get both sides.... I knew having clothesline poles in the back yard would come in handy for something... I hang more parts...

    Don't know why the pix came out turned sideways when I put them up. In the 2nd pic with the single indented rectangle portion was one that I filled with JB weld and sanded and put a 2nd layer of JB on, and sanded again before I primed. The 1st round of JB full and sand plus the 2nd round of...

    Sherwin Williams acrylon

    Last Tuesday's progress ... We were slow at work it was a perfect low to mid 70s day with no wind. A day we don't see much around here often so I took advantage and took off a 1/2 day to get this done I had primed them last week Saturday, then it poured rain Sunday. Lucky the man doors are...

    I hope to do the back side of the man doors today and Im gonna move the sawhorses to under my clothesline poles where I can tie them up vertical "long ways" so I can spray them in the same position as I was able to spray the overhead doors. The side I did so far on each man door is the side...

    Yeah I have a Dodge "square body" in the body shop now as well. I got a "total price" estimate which I about had a heart attack when he gave me the number, nothing broken down as to how much for paint vs how much is labor but I've heard here and there about paint prices from other sources...

    2 gallons, 2 cans of hardener (quart size but each only has 19 oz in them? The "gallons" only have something like 107 oz in them. That plus 1 gallon of the primer they recommended came up to $388. Yikes. I'm not into the 2nd "gallon" yet.

    With IHC's Iron Guard paint gone........

    Something that will hold up and stay on beyond the first tank of gas would be an improvement

    With IHC's Iron Guard paint gone........

    My experience was (actually my son's) was on a cub original that he redid in high school. I took it and paid to have it sandblasted then straight back to the career center. He was in metal working class there and got the auto body shop teacher to personally spray it with iron guard, yellow and...
