What did you do to your deuce this week?

Used the Deuce to pull down my father's barn. It didn't take much, a few firm but gentle tugs.

Is the building with hardwood stacked in the loft what you pulled down? Does your dad have a Wood-Miser small sawmill?

I wrapped chain around one and secured it so as I pulled, it had just a little twisting going on. Fun stuff....with the bonfire later too.

Old barn wood brings top dollar in some states.

We usually just use the demo car and take out the posts

I would love to see the video of that...setting it on fire would add a whole new level of drama.

Got in about 45 min of painting last night in the wind and cold, but the raindrops held off, hit it again for a bit this sunny warm AM, love getting that hideous lime yellow covered up, fully digging this old original color of Korea/Vietnam era paint, it will look pretty good when I'm done for an old beater, hopefully my kid will show up and do the small technical pita spots .

Want to get the stars back on the doors too .

Just using a brush and roller if you couldn't tell

The wood on top is just poplar floor boards from the hay loft. I may cut them down and repurpose them on another project.
The large beams are birch and the neighbor up the road is going to use them in his barn.
I do have a video of me pulling it down on my iPhone but I can't seem to upload it.

I received some battery box locks from Floridianson. I cleaned and painted them, and they look pretty good if I do say so.

Washed the 70, shined up the tires, put the new mudflaps on. Almost ready for Monday. Still needs the correct paint and bodywork.

Continued with my repaint , drained the Dot 3 from master and booster, filled with purple Dot 5, got that out to three wheel cylinders so far

Fine job Mrmag1.

Still have to clean and paint the pin chains but that battery box shouldn't be going anywhere now.

New brakes and bearings on the left front. A/C kit instal next weekend.

I made a new battery box chain for under $6. Not 100% original but it works great.

Finally got around to removing the door latch assembly from the drivers door. It was in desperate need of lubrication, and twice last week left me unable to open the door. I didn't take any during pictures. But I had to replace most of the screws because the heads were either stripped out, or close to being stripped- the stripped heads had made me procrastinate, but being unable to use that door necessitated the removal.

There was nothing physically wrong with the assembly, so a little oil soaking overnight and a generous application of white lithium restored full function of door latch. I am waiting on a new outer handle, I managed to drill it a little too much trying to remove a stripped screw. I also went to the horizontal position, because more then once I let go of handle because it is just too awkward for me.

Major cleaning under the deuce this weekend. Power washer, lots of degreaser and scrubbing. Once clean, spent then next day with a wire brush and needler on minor rust areas. I sprayed the cleaned up rust areas with Rust Converter, then rattled can sprayed most of the bottom with Rustoleum over rust primer. Today I started early and sprayed a couple coats of paint underneath. I covered everyhting with fresh paint. Came out real nice. I just climbed under it to inspect how it was drying. I see a few

spots the soray couldn't get, so I'll get the brush out later this week and button it up. I need to start cleaning up the top of the truck and paint it too.

Did you raise the truck or just get under with a the pressure washer?

 

[Privatewrench]

Just crawled under it with the wand. Pretty tricky getting it in some areas, so i scrubbed with a brush and hosed those spots.

 

[SETOYOTA]

I bet that was one messy job.

Stormy Weather Down Under

G'day everyone,.....





I only have the weekends at this point to work and or play and due to the size of the Deuce I only have the outdoors so weather as you see can put an end to any plans.
I am not in a rush so I can just wait for another weekend to free up and as we are coming into our summer down here good weather shouldn't be far off.
(I say this as we have a severe weather warnings and road alerts being posted,....)

Aussie.

G'day Mate,
Do you have any land where you could put up a metal building to keep & work on your Deuce?
