Re: 68 Second Chance
Did the truck running on its own gas tank now. Had to take apart the thermostat housing was leaking coolant all over the manifold. Cleaned it up well, surface sanded the housing to make sure it was clean and flat. Used a brand new gasket and Right Stuff Gasket Sealer on all areas. Hand tighten down and let it sit for an hour, then torque to 35 lbs. Next day I have a running motor that does not leak.
Moved on to finally starting to put down some filler after work on the two areas of rust repair on the fender. Pictures below are the second coat after knocking down with 40 grit and a little hammer work on a few high spots. Hope to get two more coats this afternoon and a guide coat on.
After I finish with the fender repair and touchup I will move onto passenger side cab corner and then possibly fill eight mirror holes on each door and touch up. I order a set of the 5" rounds in black and will repaint them with the single stage 501 and add a little wear to them so they look right.
