What have you done to your square lately??

[Powerhouse Ranch]

Went to the show, wasn't there too long, wasn't too big. Three other Squares, a '77 Bonanza, a 90s Blazer and a 70s rat rod, couldn't get a good photo

Headliner looks great, so does that metallic paint
Can’t say I’d be all over the Halloween color theme, but not my truck. You might not like blue as well! Lol.

But what about the paint? How long has it been painted? How does it lay down, how durable?
I bought Tamco everything to redo the Freedom wagon but so far I’m only into primer and chassis paint. Both of which seem to be great quality. Primer adheres great even to bare metal, sands easy, builds easy, doesn’t shrink. Havent tried using it as final seal coat yet.
And haven’t cracked open any of the base coat or clear yet.

was just to much to pass up the price of Tamco and supposed quality compared to the big name paints.

i used eastwood brand epoxy,primer and sealer. all of the jambs and roof are finished black/clear coat,tamco overall seems great. the clear i uesd is the HC-2021 im still learning but so far so good

that headliner is sweet. What material is it?


that headliner is awesome. What material is it? You don’t happen to have and pictures of the front cardboard section and where the holes are for the console do you? I’m adding a console to my 87 which never had one so I’m just looking for reference pictures of the holes before making mine.

Ben

the material is some foam backed stuff my wire found on amazon lol do these pics help?

Installed brush guard (deer bouncer hopefully) today. I used stainless nuts/bolts. I didn't put anti-seize on the bolts because they are stainless. Should I go back and add it?

Had to straighten (push in) the passenger side with a tree. The look on the wifes face was classic when she saw us doing it. I know exactly what she was thinking....that ****** idiot

Forgot to mention it's 3/8" steel. Had to use the engine hoist to do it by myself.

Wives or spouses do NOT know the fine arts of the mechanics minds.....although at times she reads mine.....(doesn't take too long)....lol @Camar068

My wife has learned over the years that although my methods at times may seem very unorthodox the end result is usually spot on. Even her knowing that tho doesn't stop the occasional questioning look and shaking of the head!

now as to where did you get such a brush guard?

 

[Camar068]

used.....FB marketplace

Turn them around!

Yep white letters out... especially on these classics!!

 

[80BrownK10]

I thought about it but I just went and checked and it is actually a light blue color, not white. I did look up a set just now and yall are right that would look great. I think I would have to pay to remount each tire but maybe I'll do it anyway.

Hahaha! That's the protectant they put on them. How old are you, just wondering, have to be 25 or under.

 

[80BrownK10]

That blue is j

That blue is just a protective coating. They usually scrub it off at the Tire Shop.

Not when you mount white letter in they don't!

2021 is what I got. Haven’t sprayed any yet. Hope it lays down nice. I haven’t painted anything bigger than a bumper or fender in quite a few years. I’m sure I got some trial and error ahead of me too.
Got any pics of your rig?

 

[Grit dog]

@Camar068 , nice classic looking deer bouncer!
I feel where you’re coming from. Wife gave me some strange looks too when I was straightening a bumper by driving into our rock wall at a carefully calculated angle with an old tire between the bumper and boulders….
