That flap is designed to be unscrewed so you can clean the leaves and junk out of the fresh air passage, but no one ever does or it got covered in undercoating so they could not see the screw. You are lucky, all I found were dead things.

that's not even close to bad. actually looks very good.
i had to replace the bottom 12'' of my cab, floors and doors
every picture you posted, the damage was caused by wet leaves and junk down the cowl vent.
that's why i recommend shaving the cowl vent in every tf build.

Kim57 · 10-17-2012, 09:20 AM

At least you got a wrench for your trouble.
I've seen a lot worse but was real lucky with mine as the floor had the most damage.

First thing I do to every task force truck I get is rip those flaps off.

Has anyone seen the side cowls shaved?

Side cowls Make for a good speaker pocket, won't need the vent. And most of it is unseen anyway, right. It's behind the inner fender panel.

**buggy5872** · 10-18-2012, 06:52 AM

They make for a decent sound box once you close off the cowl vent and the holes at the bottom. Big Bertha is all sealed up and thats what I used them for.

_Ogre · 10-18-2012, 02:01 PM

i cut mine out and made kick panel speakers in place of them

sorry for the thread hijack shadow

No Problems, _Ogre. You are full of useful information, since yours is done.

**shadow1967** · 10-21-2012, 02:24 PM

Well we started the body work, but I'm working 7 days aweek for awhile we got behind at work do to part shortages. So I will be thanking DAD big time.

_Ogre · 10-21-2012, 06:55 PM

holey smoly shadow

Chevette · 12-06-2012, 10:51 PM

Are you getting any time to work on the hot rod or still putting in the big hours at work?

**shadow1967** · 12-07-2012, 08:40 PM

Sorry guys,
Had some drama. We have done some work but not much. Anyone thinking of sandblasting their car or truck I recommend picklex20. Its been 6 weeks since blasting and no rust, no paint or primer.

**shadow1967** · 12-07-2012, 08:44 PM

pics...Been working crazy hours, corporate greed want to get alittle extra out for more year end profit. But I'm just glad to be working.

Chevette · 12-07-2012, 08:50 PM

Lookin' good, Shadow. Thanks for the tip on the picklex20.

Green 1959 · 12-07-2012, 09:09 PM

Nice work!! Remember to check your messages

**shadow1967** · 12-07-2012, 09:26 PM

Sorry GREEN. Will send.

Kim57 · 12-08-2012, 01:04 AM

Looking good.
Kim

_Ogre · 12-08-2012, 02:07 PM

progress is progress. the overtime will buy more truck parts

i used pickleX20 on the bed of my truck after sandblasting it
i did all the fab work to add the trunk and left it in the corner of my barn for 6 years
the bed was rust free for 4 years, the last couple of years it got some surface rust
it also works quite well on bare metal that your storing in the shop

Hahahahaahaa. That wrench makes it all worth while!

Making great progress, hoping to see it on the road soon.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 12-22-2012, 11:12 PM

Hey Shadow,
Since you're relatively local to me, who did your blasting? Would you recommend them? Seems like they were careful not to warp anything, is that accurate?

**shadow1967** · 12-23-2012, 02:39 PM

Dan in Pasadena, I will have to look for it. but it was orange county, Pickup and delivery was 75 dollars not bad.

Brian was the guy I talked to. Price was 1100. They use aluminum ozide for media. They do not remove bondo unless you tell them to, it takes time to remove if applied correctly.
