Welded the seams, too, huh? I thought about that, but didn't do it. I'll have to go back and weld them. That is why you are the Master and I am the young grasshopper. I have so much knowledge to gain.

Just to be safe, that's all.

When your done with yours...you will own the master status.

I thought you were going to swap this body onto the gray chassis. What's happening with that now?

The '69 tub was sold as a tub & only the tub, chassis is going back to the guy I got it from who's discovered he needs one now, all the rest of the parts I've gleaned onto over the years for my own personnel build will be installed into this one.

Lizard Skin spray in liner offers both sound & heat control, plus it's paintable.

This is the next step, masking has started...

This is the gun that comes with the jobber kit.

This is my new carpet.

msgross · 10-25-2009, 09:36 AM

need reviews on that stuff... where did you buy from as well?

Chevyman63 · 10-25-2009, 10:18 AM

Wow...looks great!

How's the back feeling?

When I spray it, you'll hear all about it I'm sure, good/bad or indifferent.

Bought it on-line, directly from Lizard Skin.

Sounds good as of now, no harmful chemicals & it cleans up with water.

Better, the Advil is helping some...

Got a little worried this morning though, I was barely able to reach down & lift the toilet seat to go wee when I got up.

Heh heh, good option but getting the cover off would of been a challenge too.

Jtrux · 10-25-2009, 06:12 PM

Looks great, now that the weather is cooling off i'm gonna bring mine to my folks place and start sandblasting the chassis and getting it all cleaned up. I'll be following along with yours for motivation.

snowblind · 10-28-2009, 12:35 PM

Amazing work! Thanks for all the photos showing the step by step.

vtblazer · 10-29-2009, 07:19 PM

Good thing there's still some POR left in the can...

Had the pleasure of removing the rivets that hold the leaf mount...yeehaw.

Shackle flip is temporarily installed, sits level on it's own now at least.

Not the leaf springs I'll be useing, so no worries about the axles not being centered.

Chevyman63 · 10-29-2009, 07:23 PM

Sweeet!

Don't those rivets absolutely suck to get out!?

**Ron 586** · 10-30-2009, 01:49 AM

Looks good sir. Think I'll tag along and watch if you don't mind.

vtblazer · 11-01-2009, 04:57 PM

Might of mentioned it once but like Big J and sanding, for me it's masking, it really sux.

Heading back out for the 2nd coat, might need a third, dunno yet.

Liner still wet in these pics btw.

This weekend's show-n-tell pics.

Chevyman63 · 11-01-2009, 05:50 PM

Looks sweet!

Rochlow · 11-01-2009, 07:17 PM

Good work...

AJs72K5 · 11-01-2009, 08:01 PM

I just now noticed that you have two flavors of Lizard skin....sound control and ceramic insulation. What's the order? CI, then SC? Or can you mix them?

phx 4x4 · 11-01-2009, 08:05 PM

Sound control goes on first, Ceramic is last.

They say the ceramic coating is thinner and lays down better, supposed to fill some of the pockets...so they say.

Sprayed the 2nd coat HEAVY, might be thick enough now.
Hope so, getting up under that dash just isn't all that much fun at all.

Wildstreak · 11-01-2009, 08:29 PM

Use the stock crossmember....just move it back 2.5 inches.

Lizardskin is looking good. A little more cottage cheese than I expected though.

Wildstreak · 11-01-2009, 08:55 PM

I wasnt sure if it would line up, the crossmember on the burb its in right now is different then how ours looks so I just wasnt sure if I needed a new one, thanks AJ
