Since this thread came back up I thought I would update on where we are. Yesterday Dan and I got the doors primed, and those are almost the last parts on the cab itself. It's nice not to have to...

Good info Ken, thanks for sharing that. I've also heard the same about using Wesleys Tire White on whitewalls. Some people say it dries out the white part and it starts to crack. I've been using...

I've wondered about that too Ken. What did your friend recommend for protection on it..........wax? I think as long as you use a pure carnuba wax with no cleaners in it (abrasives) that would be a...

Thanks guys. Sorry to hear about your chrome pitting Whiplash. Chrome these days isn't as good as the old days...........all the good stuff has been banned. I have a steering arm on my 27 that I...

Thanks guys. Yeah, seeing that stuff makes you want more and more of it dipped. I was very impressed with the work and the turnaround time. I could have ups'd the stuff to them but since they are...

Now for the bling part. Last week I drove my rollbar and some of Dans parts to the chrome plater in Lauderdale and this week they called and said they were already done. I had heard about these...

We made some more progress on Dan's rpu. Last weekend the rain cleared up long enough to get more of the body sprayed with DP90 primer. All that is left on the cab portion now are the two doors. ...

Don

Thanks again all for the compliments and input.

Richard, I agree that the older we get the less we can stand the heat. When we moved to Florida almost 30 years ago we would go fishing and stay in...

That's the truth about the sweating. Even when we wear vinyl gloves your hands get so wet it drips out and onto what you are working on. On the first paint job I did on the 27 I had some sweat run...

Yep Richard, check the inside of your tank for rust. When I bought my 84 Crown Vic it was owned by the proverbial old lady and only had 50,000 miles on it, but she had parked it in her garage for 4...

Thanks Pat. God, I never gave this a thought at all about the dangers. We have shot so much stuff outside with just masks on that it seemed ok. I feel like a dummy now for not using my head. He...

Jim, his plan at the moment is to paint it the same Hot Rod Black satin that I used on my 27 body. Couple of reasons for that: First of all, he likes the look of it (me too:)) and it is something...

Thanks guys. Whiplash, you are right about animals, I have a soft spot for them. I really feel sorry for the little ones who are left to fend for themselves outside. This newest "family" consists...

He does Bob. Lately he has been really down about all the time and dumping every spare cent into it and not seeing any end in sight. We all know how these long builds can take a toll on you. For...

Couple more shots. We also have a visitor that hangs out with us while we work. There is a family of cats that live near our shop and every night they stop by for dinner. They are getting less...

Believe it or not, this weekend we finally got some primer sprayed on my Son Dan's roadster pickup...........well, at least on part of the cab. :) He's been building this car in one form or another...
