Mostly back together and looking great.

Metaldoc · 04-25-2016, 05:48 PM

Painted the repair area, three stage painting is new to me. First coat black with a brush, red oxide with roller, and sprayed the blue on. There is a coat of factory blue color on first, the I added 30% more silver in the top coat. Magic will happen when it dries and it blends back in with the right amount of removal.

**68bowtie** · 04-26-2016, 12:56 AM

is the idea to buff through the blue coats to leave the red and black showing through?

Yes sir, I'm going to water sand through the blue and into the red. The roller effect will give me a nice weathered look.

mooseknuckles · 04-26-2016, 05:56 PM

can't wait to see what ya come up with...

Metaldoc · 04-26-2016, 07:50 PM

Round 2, took all the paint off. too much red with the roller, it was like stone guard, so tried red sprayed but real dry and thick then resprayed the blue. Water sand it tomorrow and see what happens.

**Advanced Design** · 04-26-2016, 08:17 PM

I am sure it will look great as everything else does on your truck Metaldoc. Really enjoying tagging along.

Metaldoc · 04-27-2016, 01:27 PM

Do some water sanding on it and I think I'll like the out come. I faded the blue darker at the bottom with lots of silver and a touch of white. Got a coat on the tailgate where I did the cantilever section. Just got a shipment of parts in, springs finally, new rubber bumpers for the truck, hood, gate, doors, ashtray, glove, and window door seals.

dakattack7 · 04-27-2016, 01:31 PM

Amazing!!!

Metaldoc · 04-27-2016, 02:59 PM

Before first touch up and finished, good enough for me.

**68bowtie** · 04-27-2016, 03:04 PM

impressive. way better than most fauxtina i've seen.

Metaldoc · 04-27-2016, 03:26 PM

Thanks the other side looks like it had never been touched

Metaldoc · 04-28-2016, 11:03 PM

Taking the weekend off, going north to a couple of swap/car show. One in Stirling and the other in Linsay Ontario. Hope to meet more builders from this site. Last weekend I met Cleanfreak at a swap meet in Ancaster Ont. , great meeting you as well. Hoping to find a couple more little things. My father in law is driving his 1961 ford unibody pick up / marquis up there and open the trailer in Trenton. Should be a good weekend.

downbytheriver · 05-01-2016, 12:22 AM

Love the color matching! Almost **** a brick when I saw the paint roller, but should've figured it'd turn out awesome, seeing as how the rest of the truck has

mooseknuckles · 05-01-2016, 04:14 PM

looking good.

Metaldoc · 05-02-2016, 05:09 AM

Almost happy with the drivers side, maybe a bit of airbrushing to touch up between reds but over all, Yup. Picked up some stuff this weekend, shifter boot and nob, p/s brackets and pump, wheels that don't fit, don't buy wheels without a tape measure, and some other little stuff. Back at it tomorrow.

Metaldoc · 05-02-2016, 05:24 PM

2 ball shifter nob and Hurst boot, the blue doesn't match but looks different. I might repaint the ball in the truck blue. Father in laws truck and his cousins 35 ford coupe. We put 700 + km on it and it ran great.

Metaldoc · 05-03-2016, 03:43 PM

Put a new reverse light switch in from a 650 Honda brake light pedal switch. It works, the rod can slide from neutral to first and in reverse it pulls the plunger out to make contact. MacGyver's got competition.

Metaldoc · 05-04-2016, 01:43 PM

Fuel system done.

Metaldoc · 05-05-2016, 06:46 PM

It saw the light of day. Rolled out for the first time in three years.

**68bowtie** · 05-05-2016, 06:51 PM

fantastic

**Canuckvetter** · 05-07-2016, 01:01 AM

Hey Metaldoc, I found a 67 lighter for you in Alberta. Karen is coming to Ayr June 14th. I will send it along with her.

Thanks man , it is a good feeling, things are going to come together pretty quick most of the parts are done in waiting. I was just waiting on parts to proceed, now time to fly.
