Awesome work mate! You clearly know you your trade...
Rust free - that's all that matters! |
Hey! Dat's not factory! What're you gonna do next, drape it in some non-factory color? Blasphemy!!
|
thanks people,im tinkin by days end saturday i might get er done.but im workin on the tougher side now.i was gonna paint it black unless something blasphemous would be a better idea
|
tremclad orange!!!! :)
|
"Dog Dick Red"... otherwise known as Fraise...
|
I can't think of anything that would really tick people off. I've already seen a Raspberry (metallic pinkish) 997 ordered from the factory. Interior and exterior.
Paint it Canary Yellow, keep the fenders off, slap a Ford emblem on the back and ask to enter it into your local PCA concours. |

i dont know what in blue blazes i was thinkin bein done by days end tomorrow! this side is just gnarly. im kinda goin metal cutting crazy. i think i'll google dog dick red...sounds like a fine color!
|
|
hah! that is brave
|
|
wow.... you're making everything :eek: not quite oem style, but as long as it it's strong enough. What gauge steel are you using for the floor/inner rocker section? I was using 16-18ga thinking I was going way thicker then it should have been. The restoration design floor pan I eventually ordered looked at least 18ga
|
its 18 gauge,its def thicker than what was on there,but the factory beadrolls make it more rigid for sure.i just figured this would be plenty strong.
|
i ordered some por 15,do most a you guys spray it or brush it? if spraying,do you need to thin it with anything?
|
POR is designed to cover rusty metal... with your job, I would be inclined to use a quality 2-part epoxy primer and spray.
|
I brush POR15. Scour new metal first for better results; if it's rusty it'll stick no problem. Also pour it into another container and seal the original- store in fridge. I've had it last indefinitely that way, but a friend does his in a mason jar in his garage and it's been there for quite a while, too.
|
yea,i kinda have to use it now,since i spent 130 bucks on it!probably shouldnt have bougt a gallon,i dont think my wife will let me keep it in the frig.
