What are you painting on ? the I-beam truck ?

 

actually I'm painting the passenger axle shaft, u-joint, and stub shaft for my dana 60. . .putting the u-joint in now and it's kicking my ***

Still have one hammer bigger than the one I'm using though

 

Here let me help......when I nod my head.....hit it......owwwwww

 

Morning all, time to change the calender. Martinsville is predicting 3-4" of white stuff tomorrow....

 

Morning all! Woke up hungover and snow everywhere.... baddddd combo lol

 

LoL, I never get my hopes up for snow anymore. . .last I heard all we are getting is a slushy mix turning to rain

Axle is all assembled! All I have left to do (unless I decide to reset the drivers side brake rotor) is to paint the hubs and figure out how to mount a track bar when I throw it under

I tell you what, my stuff may not be Hi-Po or crammed with top end parts. . .but my **** always looks good

 

Steve that green is SICK!!!!!! you'd hate me if i copied that in the near future (warmer weather)... wouldn't you

 

hate? nah. . .I'd give you some crap about it though

Ford Grabber Green. . .I can only find it in that ceramic engine enamel in a spray cans. . .it's kind of brittle, if you find anything in a real paint can that can be brushed on let me know

 

haha aight i'll look around.... have really wanted to disassemble the front and paint everything... frame of resto maybe? haha nahhh just rattle can her and make her a lil cleaner

 

Looks real good, and I can see you are taking your time doing it right, unlike how I just lay under the truck and spray away shielding as best I can and see what sticks. I used that ceramic in blue and it is flaking a little, but it is probably do to my prep or lack of.

You can get that green color mixed in an industrial alkyd oil base at duron.

 

!!!!!!!!

I didn't know you get that stuff mixed up like that. . .cool beans Will go that route when I go through my rear axle


I don't like the ceramic stuff as far durability goes. . .even with meticulous prep work (thanks btw for the compliment) it does NOT like to take any kind of impact or stress. . .it tends to crack and tear instead of deform like the softer enamels I've been painting my truck parts with.

 

well therein lies the fun part...i can raid daddy's workshop but whether i can actually find anything i need...

between the weather and the 2 am rescue mission we carried out last night, today was a total loss too

 

oh and you know what...we are page 48 and it's not february anymore!

 

Missed the last few pages of posts and yours

Still up for bumper shimming, also I have welders if you need that crack fixed

But You have to pull the door panel off, it's a PITA

So what happened at 2am last night? I was dorking it out online. . .what else you gonna do at 2am?

Lol

 

sweet! and yes, i know it is, it's already off...and i only lost one screw! next weekend? hopefully i will get an hour or so of daylight and decent weather before to get my fuel filter changed so i can drive her without fuel going everywhere...

well last night around 2 am, i was loading a couple fillies onto my trailer from the shoulder of i-64 near greenbrier. my friend called about 1:30 to ask if i could bring my trailer and come get them...her tagalong jack-knifed and flipped on the high-rise bridge...
