Vacation's over! Got a lot done...
Took two weeks off, got my cab repairs close to done, frame sandblasted, and the frame itself painted - still need to do the leafs, but going to pull them off. Did find the rear brakes SHOT, but didn't think they would be, because the fronts are brand new. Took the drum off, and the lining fell out! Oh well, better two than four!
Enjoy the pics...the Chassis Saver paint is nice stuff, but MAN it's a pain to paint with! DON'T get any on you!! And if you do, wipe it off RIGHT NOW! And it starts out, like thick paint, but ends up like honey, as it sucks in moisture. But, it leaves a nice finish - now I have to decide whether to let it weather to a nice "charcoal" from the UV, or coat it with black...got a while to decide...like, tomorrow??? http://www.crbest.com/ford/frame01.jpg http://www.crbest.com/ford/frame03.jpg http://www.crbest.com/ford/frame04.jpg But, back to work tomorrow...I can use the rest, though!!!

Looks like a great use of vacation time. Who needs the beach?

Ssshhhhh...I told my wife we WERE at the beach...sandblasting can be SO much fun. Told her we had the bad luck, of going when the hurricane hit...not sure what I can pass off painting the cab and bed as.

That looks real nice, what type of paint is that? Is it supposed to be topcoated? I used some Rust Bullet lately and it says it can be sprayed but it would take a gun and pressure that would spray tar LOL. I did like it but I would topcoat it.

You can spray the newer urethanes pretty easily with an HVLP gun, without making much of a mess. I sprayed the top of my cab, with epoxy primer, inside, no problem. I think I'm going to like it, just fine... R |
I went ahead and got the reducer to go with mine, but after seeing your results I'm just gonna brush it on. How much of the gallon do you have left after finishing the frame?
