Wow, what a great outcome. Keith

Great looking project! I couldn't help but notice your heating system. How do you like it? And your paint booth looks great too. Did you build it also?

I had a sbc engine come back from the engine builder free of the factory paint and oil. I poured 710 cleaner in a spray gun and sprayed it down and wiped it off with paper towels. I rolled it outside in the sun and let it heat up the block thinking the oil would come out of the pours. I brought...

How close to Omaha Orange? What color epoxy primer for sealer under orange?

We've had a blast with the pickup since I posted this. A couple things we finished up was the interior and the top. We took the old top material and cut it down to fit the 3" chop. First time I'd ever sewed anything. Took 2 of us to do it. One to feed the material and one to run the sewing...

Yes I did, just rubbing compound. No polish at this point.

Thanks Barry! I need to thank you for taking the time to walk me through my epoxy primer questions. I put the epoxy in a paint shaker and it made all the difference. The stirring machine just wasn't aggressive enough. I'm on my 3rd one. It is a chopped 31 coupe with a flathead , 5 speed with...

Thanks! They are very easy to work on. You can get behind most panels and hammer and dolly the welds. Patch panels are available...but I get the satisfaction of making my own. Cheaper to buy the patch panels....but I am hard headed and think I can do it cheaper.

Thanks. It always seems to go a little further than originally planned!!

Next up the paint . All SPI epoxy. No top coat or clear. Some numbers and lettering sanded for that worn look. Putting it together and heading for Colorado. Keith Daleen

The radiator shell needed the headlight wiring loom holes lowered. Which means the headlight bar would need some adjustments now that there are no front fenders. A bent donor was found. A spreader bar would be needed. A Model AA dump truck gave up its bent front axle. Cut to width and some...

The lower rear body panel had been repaired with fiberglass. A new one would be made. It was decided to chop the windshield 3". didn't want to destroy the original windshield post so some new ones were made from scratch. With a lower windshield a lower column drop...

What started out as a fun little pick up to run at the Dirt Drags and the Hot Rod Hill Climb turned out to be a little bit more work than originally thought. The hope was to de-fender it and put in a different motor and clean up the body. A older restoration from the early 70's and just a little...

Thanks Barry for your advice. However, I've decided to use the nason as a guide coat and get rid of all of it and not take any chances. I've included some pictures of the first 2 panels I've worked on. About 6 hours of hammer and dolly work, not 100% but real close.

I use Turbo all of the time over spi epoxy. I let it set overnight. I've never had a issue.

Thanks Rusty. I value your input. The quality builds you and your staff do says alot about the products you use to achieve those results.

Thanks Mike.

I have took the advice will not spray SPI over the Nason. I did however decide to use it as a guide coat! I don't know how much Nason cost, but it's most likely the most expensive guide coat I ever used. Thanks for all of the advice.

I did a search and it has been awhile since someone has posted on this subject. My question I currently use Evercoat Gold Rage. I have the opportunity to try some 3M Platinum, is it worth my time to try the 3M product? Thanks Keith
