    What new tools have you got lately?

    Finally bagged one of these rev-nut tools. Got this one because it has so many sizes - reviews are good too. My buddy says this will create plenty of Kodak moments...lol

    Filling in seams

    I dont necessarily find them an eye sore.....but they are kind of cobbled enough I wouldn't mind cleaning them up a bit. If they were to disappear, I doubt anyone would notice. lol

    Filling in seams

    I am in no way close to doing anything like this, but was curious if when re-painting your square, if you, or the shop that did it, or maybe one you saw at a show, ever filled in or blended the factory seams, like where the roof meets the A or B pillars? I noticed that my roof is actually offset...

    Cab bottom pics needed

    Is that primer or paint? Or both? I'm leaning towards POR15-ing the bottom then spraying it with 3M undercoating. It goes on runny then sets up like a waxy asphalt - very OE like. Really like that dolly with it on its back. THX :hat:

    Cab bottom pics needed

    Does anyone have a pic of their SB cab on its back showing the bottom? There are several holes underneath but I'm trying to locate the actual mount holes. My cab is on a dolly - I think the cab is sitting on the mount holes - dunno - cant quite tell. I need to make stands to get it off the dolly...

    First time "real" painting.

    Funny - one body shop tells me 180 (on a DA) - then I went to the shop I bought everything at and they said 320. Guy who owns the place had his own shop for 35 yrs - said to mud over 320 scuffed epoxy will work fine, but since I have no heated shop, he wouldn't do it til I was ready to put high...

    First time "real" painting.

    Good luck Marty - sorry for the derailment pal....it happens alot. I never intended on a nut-bolt resto. Truck was a mess when I got it. Other than a solid bod, everything else was a wash. SRO says my brakes are JB7 but it had JB6 calipers on it complete with a master cyl from an 87 Hurst Olds...

    First time "real" painting.

    At this point, I'm considering letting it sit til Spring, then having it stripped....again.....and planning on the bondo to metal circus, painting in one day, maybe a whole different primer and just go from there. Sanding the large flat areas is no big deal but the firewall is a PITA - why I...

    First time "real" painting.

    Sounds like regardless of the bare metal vs primer for bondo argument.....if you use epoxy you're almost forced to use bondo on bare metal in order to get it into paint ASAP. Seems like too much of a PITA to ever use it again.

    First time "real" painting.

    I just talked to a guy thats worked in a dealer body shop for 20 yrs. He said to leave it til Spring then sand it all with 220 - and apply my high build. So sounds like I'll be hand sanding til I puke. Only thing he mentioned that I question is my roof - I had bad oil canning and got it...

    First time "real" painting.

    Not much. Just heard this today, along with a '72 hr window' (was someone who does ALOT of higher end paint jobs too). I had always expected to have to scuff or sand it before high build primer, but never heard that it wont stick to 'cured' epoxy. WTF are you supposed to do - primer, seal, and...

    First time "real" painting.

    I just sprayed my cab with epoxy primer yesterday - first time I pulled a spray gun trigger in 30 yrs. I thought it came out fine. Today was told that I cannot paint over "cured" epoxy. ?! Never heard that before.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    After 2 yrs of delays I finally got my cab into primer. Also sprayed the hinges and a block off panel for the passenger side firewall. I had drilled and reamed 2 random 1/8" holes in each hinge - makes the dowels a press fit to locate them back to their original location. Use a punch to tap them...

    Not sure if this is what you're looking for - I'm going to get a barrage of new pics today - this one is from when I was laying out cab light location.

    Original Factory Seams Pics

    I think this came up before, but any of you fellas that are doing extensive rust or damage repair, and need a pic of a factory seam or area, speak up now and I'll post some - maybe get them all as a future reference? Just got my cab back from being stripped yesterday. Wiped it down with prep all...
