I kind of like the helmets used for rafting, they cover the back of your head and have a chin strap so it doesn't come off easily. And if you're working on something too low or rough for a creeper, you won't have to hold the back of your head off of the ground as you move around on your back...

I read your thread. You're a real jerk you know that?? Now I have to do a bunch more work so my deuce will look that good too. :drool: (or at least half as good) Your's looks like it was the show room model. I plan on power washing mine real good, cleaning off the heavy rust on the frame...

Brushes?? No way. WAY too much work, not to mention all the runs you'd have to chase.

I've just been doing a few pieces, bumper, mushroom, grill, headlight sheetmetal, bows, etc., and I've aready gone thrugh a dozen cans of the OD green, and more than half of that in primer cans. There's no way 20 cans will do the job I want to do.

Uh, those never came up when I did the search or when I started to post this thread. Sorry, but sometimes those features DO NOT WORK.

I want to try and get my deuce painted this year. I plan on using Rapco paint, sprayed with an HVLP sprayer outside. I'm thinking 2 gallons of primer, and 2 of OD green. Is that going to be enough? There's no bed on it now, and I'll paint the bed when I get it. I probably won't do inside...

Will there be any vendors there with parts?

Uh, I showed up about 0830, nothing there! :confused:

PM sent.

What are the hours? I have to work Saturday, so I plan on coming Friday.

That sounds cool, I could stop by when I get off work since I'm only a few miles away. It would be nice to meet some local guys, but my deuce is far from ready for a show, much less the road.

But you could lube up your whale with it.....

That show is not that old, it was filmed in color.....

Tire fires on trucks are hard to put out with just one water can. By the time they catch fire, there's a lot of heat stored up in the rim an hub that can cause reignition. You can use dry chemical, just use it first to knock down the flames, then use water to cool the tire. I'd use 2 or 3 if...

Yep, that's the OD tranny. A very unusual shift pattern.

Hmmm, that clearance looks kinda scary. But I really like that station wagon, what model is that? (sorry, just reliving my youth )

Park your deuce on a level paved area. Make sure all your tires have the correct pressure and that the suspension is not racked from turning, drive straight onto the pad. Measure the bottom of the axles to the ground. That should be level, if it's not, probably the suspension. Measure from...

What about brazing? Would that be strong enough to hold? I do have, an old CO2 extinguisher I could empty into it, it's due for testing anyway.

I'm really leary about welding fuel tanks, a lot of bad things have happened doing that. :shock:

Bump.
