We masked the inside out and sprayed two coats of Lizard Skin Sound Control, then two coats of their heat insulation. The cab sounds much more quiet and solid now.

I sure hope your payment equals your effort. No need to respond with payment details, none of our business.
Just great work! Love the idea of the Lizard skin. Is that something you have used before? Would Dynomatt be overkill on top of that? |

I used Lizard Skin on the '55 International, so this is the second time I've used it. No need for Dynomat over it, it dampens the sound very well on it's own. There are other ways to add increased sound deadening, but those go beyond coatings or peel-and-stick sheets. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/ has a ton of great info if you want to go farther than just Dynomat or Lizard Skin. |

Rough bodywork is done, and we just shot the cab and doors with PPG K93 tintable primer. We'll let it sit a few weeks before we wetsand and paint it. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...82731527_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...55407031_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...34214625_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...02056414_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...49846784_n.jpg |

Looks terrific! Love me some SS. I'm surprised you guys aren't using that dry rub guide coat. I really like it.

We had already blasted the hinges but still needed to make a few repairs and clean them before spraying epoxy.
All the old grease and grit cleaned out with wax and grease remover. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...68882414_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...11374226_n.jpg The door stop rod was worn... http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...75742214_n.jpg So I reshaped and smoothed the ramps. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...73876630_n.jpg The rod bottomed out against the hinge before it should have, which kept it from contacting the roller. This made the door have very wide "stops", letting the door swing freely more than it should. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...01096210_n.jpg The driver side roller had a flat spot. We welded it up and smoothed it out. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...47088605_n.jpg Then polished the rollers with a flap wheel. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...21239503_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...98129106_n.jpg After the repairs were done we boiled the hinges in Dawn dish detergent to get the last of the oil and grit out. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...26504192_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...30395762_n.jpg Then washed with PPG DX579/520 and shot with DPLF epoxy. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...92218643_n.jpg |

Fixed the clutch rod pivot with a bronze bushing. The rest of the pivot point will be sleeved as well to tighten up the linkage.
http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...23585274_n.jpg Shift linkage installed. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...64934391_n.jpg |
Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
We've been wetsanding the cab for the last two days... this is one of those jobs where you want to go back and have a stern talk with whoever designed such lumpy door jambs... :devil: We've got a couple spots to go over again and then it'll be ready for paint. We'll prep and spray the doors at the same time.
http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...66867517_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...89999043_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...80757101_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...37184471_n.jpg Also been working on some of the smaller parts. We stripped the seat down so we could redo the frame and tracks. The adjustment arm was painted black so we recreated that detail. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...37184471_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...65769345_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...28456060_n.jpg The clutch rod was cracked and worn and new ones aren't available. We ground out the cracks, then welded them up and also welded the worn spots on the ends. Ground everything smooth, blasted, and painted it so it looks and works as new again. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...16876090_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...18293702_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...38676028_n.jpg Added a bronze bushing to the clutch adjustment pivot. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...63544999_n.jpg |

We wetsanded the bottom of the cab today. It's taken us four straight days with both of us working to get every square inch wetsanded. :uhmk:
http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...44778451_n.jpg What floor pan patches???;):lol: http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...24305807_n.jpg A few more reflection pics while the cab was still wet. http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...16151088_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...51897772_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...28321333_n.jpg http://i1315.photobucket.com/albums/...35271757_n.jpg |
Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
Awesome work bro. I am a VW guy too. I actually got to the board from your signature link over on The Samba.
Don't have a 60's series Chevy/GMC again yet, I had to sell off my 69 when my little boy was born, and now that I have 2 kiddo's, I am wanting something all of us can ride in together, so I have been keeping my eyes open for a late 60's/early 70's Suburban. Here is a pic of my 67 Beetle. I did a complete pan off rebuild on her, and I am just about ready to do the interior now. http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h1...2/67atdawn.jpg |

Big day tomorrow, we'll be painting the cab and doors!
http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...AF0D486EC1.jpg Also, everything except the bed and tailgate have been shot with K93 and wetsanded with 220/500. We'll spray the front clip parts after we get the cab back on the frame. Inside the hood is as straight as the outside. http://i557.photobucket.com/albums/s...4087E99A07.jpg |
Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread

Re: 1966 F100 Short/Fleet Full Stock Resto Build Thread
About 10 months into this (if I counted right based on your first post), and going to paint today. You have done a TON of work in that time. Seeing your past work in other threads, this customer should be SUPER excited to be getting this truck soon. When to you expect it go be finished for the customer?
