Not bad at all, had to heat up the the hinges to knock out the pins, welded up the door spring holes and redrilled them to 15/64 then drilled out the hinge pins to 11/32 lubed with some never seize.

Why are you not using the springs (cause the repop springs easily break)? The cover plates are a great idea. That is what is screwed up on most OE hinges. Who was reproducing them?

Thanks

I’m using the springs but the spring holes on the hinge are worn out so I welded them shut and redrilled the holes with 15/64 so their nice and tight.
I made a form and stamped me and 8man a set. Since then I saw that the filling station has them.

Re: Jans 53
Sprayed a satin UreKem test color this weekend on an old fender I had laying around. It sprayed out great but not sure if I like it or not, thinking into the future I’m afraid it will fade over time into a pinkish red. Might look for a lighter color less prone to fade.

I don’t know that I’ll have another paint job in me, all this sanding is hard on these old shoulders.
I can’t drive it around indoors.

Glad to see you back on the truck. The color looks good, but a little lighter could work too.

Re: Jans 53
The color looks great. I would even like to see it a darker shade. My friend painted his 2nd gen Camaro in a satin maroon/burgundy and I thought that it looked very cool.

Very nice. Similar color to what I want to paint my Model A hotrod. How long would it really take for a good paint job to fade to pinkish red? I imagine by that time you'd want to repaint anyway?

That’s just it, doesn’t seem to be any long term info on satin paint’s longevity.

This is what I was going for, just not sure I want to deal with the downside of satin and reds.

That's a nice color. Shiny or satin, that's a personal preference.

Re: Jans 53
I love love LOVE burgundies and maroons. especially interiors but that boyd ford is awesome too.

I like the color you laid down, if it pink-ens (while you chew, sorry, futurama) I dont even think that would look bad but you could always scotchbrite the chalk off.

Re: Jans 53
If you want a satin look use a base color of your choice.
Then Top coat it with POR matte clear.
It doesn't get shiny spots from rubbing and is super durable.
I used it on my firewall and inner fenders.

Did some block sanding on the firewall today, hoping to shoot some epoxy to seal it tomorrow or Sunday. Already blocked and sealed the rear of the cab.
