nice progress !

 

What kind of ceramic paint is that you used on the firewall? I would like to check that out for the project I'm working on now. Thanks, Dan

 

It's rustoleum high temp ceramic

 

You've done a great job documenting your build. Not only am I impressed by the work you've done but the pace at which you have knocked this stuff out shames me. You are flat getting it DONE!

 

Take some pics of the whole truck if you can, its looking great!

 

After a month of resting my injuries I took of the front clip and sold it to some guy in New Zealand and found a awesome one from one of our moderators on here to replace it. Mostly surface rust with some cancer at the fenders where they connect to the running boards which I repaired and painted. (much better than the one on it)

-Sanded
-most of the dings repaired
-new bolts from home depot purchased
-prepped and painted the frame and bumper arms

lookin good.... Wish I was closer to where your at!!!

 

Are you going to put in the rad. support to support the "nose" of the truck? Or are you going to do something different?

 

With the alright shape of your floorboard, have you thought about just using the Por-15 floorboard patch? If you go to their website, you can see what I'm talking about. (Just an idea)

 

I saw the pony in the background .... oh yeah, your truck is coming right along!!


here's a link to ford truck guys who also enjoy mustangs - nice blend I think
FTF Mustang Club - Ford Truck Fanatics

 

Chris I have heard of it before but have never used it. I have a few rust areas on the floor board that could use a quick fix.

PORPATCH-POR-15 Inc.

I have to reevaluate the rust and make a decision to either replace the rear portion (floorboard) or just patch it with por15. Im just worried the floorboard might be to weak to support heavy weight.

 

Been cranking away at the body..finished the hood and some of the interior cab.

Had some surface rust all over the inside.

Handle broke off....had to drill the handle out because I could not remove it from the inside without removing the handle. Major headache.
