1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

[zout]

Zout accepts no other funds other than originally agreed upon. If you do not like MORE than what we agreed tough chit - I only do stuff one way.

We can all sit and have an ice cream at the cookout and discuss it over the K18

I feel bad about you doing all that work for $34.50 and a KFC lunch!! At least when I come up next time I'll buy the ice cream.

 

[Tin Medic]

So I should keep my money then?

 

[Tinwoodsman]

You can divert all funds through me PB. Yee Haw

No. You should send your money to www.paypb.com

Given the age of the truck, PB, and the tendencies for GMC's of that era to get rust, you have done well so far in protecting what remains of the original metal components. Now for the amazing GMC patch all metal kits.....!

Seeing as the roof is next - I did pick up a vent for the front area that matches the size of the hole - I had already sent PB a picture of the vent. The shield that goes over it with the two louvers in it will have to be made by hand - that is in the process as well (meaning metal coming) that will be installed after the paint is on that area and the shield painted seperately as well.

Working on accessing the dents in the side roof radius by using my step drill bit and using heat and cold water to try to draw them out. Soon as this is done I can get the entire roof into primer and I will feel a lot better.

Why not just send it to the "Dent Doctor"

 

[papabear]

I certainly did not expect ZOUT to get this far on the K-18 so fast!!

I'm beginning to think you (at least ZOUT) CAN make a silk purse out of a sow's ear!!!

 

[zout]

TWM - it IS at the Dent Doctor

 

[Tinwoodsman]

But of course!!!!! Do use dry ice??

 

[zout]

Na - just wet towel (don;t tell Deb I have one of her towels along with her camera)

 

[papabear]

But of course!!!!! Do use dry ice??

I always wondered...do they use dehydrated water to make dry ice?

[FONT=Arial, Times, sans-serif]Dry Ice is frozen carbon dioxide, a normal part of our earth's atmosphere. It is the gas that we exhale during breathing and the gas that plants use in photosynthesis. It is also the same gas commonly added to water to make soda water. Dry Ice is particularly useful for freezing, and keeping things frozen because of its very cold temperature: -109.3°F or -78.5°C. Dry Ice is widely used because it is simple to freeze and easy to handle using insulated gloves. Dry Ice changes directly from a solid to a gas -sublimation- in normal atmospheric conditions without going through a wet liquid stage. Therefore it gets the name "dry ice."[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Times, sans-serif]As a general rule, Dry Ice will sublimate at a rate of five to ten pounds every 24 hours in a typical ice chest. This sublimation continues from the time of purchase; therefore, pick up Dry Ice as close to the time needed as possible. Bring an ice chest or some other insulated container to hold the Dry Ice and slow the sublimation rate. Dry Ice sublimates faster than regular ice melts but will extend the life of regular ice.

Dr. Zout, the science guy.

OK - ya got your grass cut while you waited ??

Got a couple other things done before this but not ready to take any pic's yet so you'll have to wait on them.

In my spare time I rolled the torches out as every door screw was in with the grip of god and rusted - a few were missing and I had nothing to do with that. The window top trip comes off as well with screws and I did not get that far because I am lazy.
BUT - from what I see after taking these off if you remove that regulator brace the entire window and seal assembly can be put in and out in one assembly - will confirm that when I take the top apart - I am sure that brace screws have to be heated as well to get them out. But I need to finish that roof first at least into primer - that will be shot near nightfall with the top cools off (learned that lesson on the M43B1).

Commercial shippers of perishables often use dry ice even for non frozen goods. Dry ice gives more than twice the cooling energy per pound of weight and three times the cooling energy per volume than regular water ice (H2O).

How come you are posting in blue now. Hard to read and I hang on every word.
