Morning Neil!

What did you order, Bill? Just got my bead roller from them yesterday!

 

More paints. Chassis black, rust encapsulator, and a little something else for a splash of color under there...

 

I need to order some rust encapsulator, thanks for reminding me!

 

I hope a quart does the rest of the Expy - I got through the right front wheelwell and back to the passenger door or so on Saturday with what I had on hand. I want to redo the frame on the Bull over the winter too, so I will get more then.

 

I just need a puff can or two of it, to do behind the panel around the rear window.

 

I use it like a primer. I stripped the Expy frame to bare metal then treated it. I didn't get that in depth on the truck, so I will do the same this winter to it.

 

I'm decided wether to use that, or POR-15 on the floors, then shoot Epoxy over the top of it.

 

If I had the means and time I would do my entire frame in epoxy. A lot more durable. I just don't have the means to shoot it.

 

I did my frame with POR-15, then 2 coats of the 2k Chassi Black.

 

I did encapsulator and 2 coats CB on the truck. Expy so far is encapsulator, primer, and planned 2 coats CB, maybe satin finish not sure.

 

I can't wait to play with that bead roller. I had to order it to make the patches for the kick panels, they have a flanged edge that I have to match. I'm thinking of making a mount for my work bench, instead of using a vice to hold it.

 

Nice. A bench mount should work better for sure. I need to add to my tools like that too.

 

I've been getting stuff for the last few years. I have their small metal Break also. Last thing I want for now are the dual shrinker/stretcher setup.

 

I have to look into the small brake - would be good for a lot of things.

 

I wish it was biggger (12", I think) but it will work for now. If I need something bigger, I can use the one here at the plant, but it's a pain to get stuff in and out of here.
