Re: 71 K20 Idaho Edition
Again was able to get out in the garage this morning before work and get the measured cut done along the back of the skin. Used 3/4" 3m yellow masking tape butted to the rear section that starts to turndown and made the cut on the outer edge with a 4.5 grinder and a Diablo metal cutting blade. These blades seem to not heat the metal up as fast as the others.
When that was complete I cleaned up any cutting dust and blew it off with a few squirts of air from the compressor. Then put on a full coat of the Rustoleum Rusty Metal primer over the top of the cured Ospho coat. Did not put any primer over the areas that will be welded will be using the 3m weld through primer I purchased with the cavity wax.
After work I will be getting the insulation cut out and secured in the center of the roof, then treating the underside of the roof skin. Hopefully if all goes well I will get it tacked in and ready for finish metal work for tomorrow morning.
