Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I got the hood primed and painted since it was an absolutely strange 60 degree February day in Pennsylvania. It looks terrible, but I just need to get it in paint and will finish it up later. I started with some Duplicolor self etching priner then shot some Krylon flat white.

My preference would be to remove the emblem. I think it would be "too busy" looking with it. IMO :metal:

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
X3 no emblem in my opinion.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Thanks for the opinions guys. I think I have to agree. It gets a little busy with the emblem on there.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
no emblem, I'm close enough to the lake the temp drops ten degrees here. Go a mile south and it's like flipping a switch but I'll take it. My maple trees are budding its crazy.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
I finished sanding the passenger side rockers finally and shot on some self etching primer. I am real happy with how the transition from the front rocker to the rear came out.

Looks great. Nice work. What are you going to tackle next?

I shot some flat white Krylon on the rockers and started putting in some Home Depot sound deadener. I just bought one 7" x 25' roll to see how it works. It is not sticking too well, but the shop is a little chilly. I'll go over it for a bit with the heat gun and see if it holds better. the one roll covered a little over half of the passenger side floor.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Is that the tar backed stuff? I am searching for sound/heat deadener for my crew. So far Fatmat seems like the best choice. $150 for 100sq ft and comes with the "install kit."

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Since I need more material to continue with the interior, I did a little patch work on the rear door. I really didn't want to spend much time on the doors as I would like to get some better doors, but here we go. For the time being I am working with what I have.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Passenger side rear door is good enough for now. It needs lots more sanding before it is done, but no time for that quality yet.

I finally made it back to home depot to get the rest of my sound deadening. Not much progress on the truck because I have been trying to finish up my logging project in the back yard. |
Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Awesome work, keep at it!
|
Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Now that I have completely destroyed my back yard...
[IMG]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...319_163416.jpg[/IMG] Maybe I can get back to the truck. |
Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
Nice! That's a good chunk of firewood.

After splitting wood for a couple hours after work I actually got a little done on the truck. I finished sound deadening the passenger side floor. I found out that a light coat of 3M super 77 really makes this stuff stick.

Re: Daddyjeep Hauler - 85 K30 crew cab short bed
So I was looking at this U.Seal stuff.. So basically a 25' roll is around $17-$20 for what I am seeing. 25' roll that is 6" wide is only 12.5ft^2. So lets say it takes 100ft^2 to do the crew cab, that means you need 8 rolls of the stuff, which comes out to about $140. So if that's true, fatmat is $149.99 for a roll of 100 sq ft and comes sticky backed with tools to install it. I am not sure if the U.seal makes it easier being in small strips or not. Still trying to determine what route I take but your crew is looking good!

I just went through you entire build. That truck is going to be fun! I really like the hood. Good to know there is another guy out there who likes to shape metal!
Can't wait to see it on the road! |
