Love the wheels. Going to run caps?

I plan to stick my IH caps on my dodge 20's, just need to figure out how to retain the damn things

 

[rockmup]

Gonna try to get the garage clean enough to paint. Wish me luck.

Should I pull the old plastic I out up for primer down? I'm worried it may be dusty, but it's not super close to the spray area.

Yes. Blow the whole place out with a blower. Cover everything and wet the floor

Love the wheels

Top is dodge copcar cap it grabs rimmed Ford lugs found under the bottom cap.

Edit Your bolt circle is probably bigger than 5 on 4 1/2 but similar ring should provide enough tension.


Magnets?

Wasn't planning on it. I'd rather keep the centers minimal. Satin black spray paint ftw

I covered everything then rolled it up to the ceiling last spray.... But it's cheap I should probably less of a cheap ass and just do new

Seam sealer, I used Upol Tiger seal. Holy crap that is sticky. And really hard to get out of the tube.



Here is the WTF moment, I tired to wipe it with my finger and it ripped the tip off the glove!

Did not wipe down that nicely, not sure if I should bother with it or not. So much lacquer thinner....

Still need to do the gutters, but it was tacking up so fast I am glad I did not do them yet.

 

[FordFascist]

Looks awesome. You definitely need to put the seam sealer on as moisture will find its way on the seams. You have an International - you know what rust is.

I used one of these for my seam-sealer applications on my land cruiser->

Caulking tool

I used thinner to help it flow better, depends on the brand of sealer you use as to what to thin it with.

Yeah definitely sealing it.... Especially with the seams on the exterior... I got this one because it was so rust free....

The Upol stuff I am using is Xylene based it appears, the lacquer thinner seemed to clean it up ok. Scraping the majority off with my nails helped. Way stickier than anticipated.

 

[Java230]

2/3 seams are done. Need to hit rockers and a fatty bead in the gutters. Maybe around entire windshield too....

 

[Java230]

Popping it off the jack stands so I can get to the roof easier. Couldn't resist. 5' almost exactly at the A pillar to the roof

Pimp daddy!

 

[Flatbed]

Fuck yeah!! What color you going to with?

 

[Java230]

Just using epoxy, so whte roof, Grey from the window sills down.

 

[Java230]

OK clear is ordered. Holy shit is that expensive.

And I need a different spray gun.....

 

[Java230]

Cleaned the roof. Got my fabric out. It's skinner than advertised.... But I'll figure it out.

Roof scrubbed.

Fabric

 

[WaterH]

I don’t think that fabric would work well as a vinyl top anyways.

Ha no it wouldn't work for a top at all. I'm lacing the roof. It's masking for paint and gets pulled back off.

Of course I was joking, but in reality I thought it was for some kind of headliner. Lol. Can’t wait to see the results.

Was gonna say that's a pimptastic headliner

wax and grease remover smooths out seam sealer real nice.

So does lacquer thinner

It's also xylene based. Garage was a bit stinky

 

[Java230]

Figured I'd practice spraying, so I sprayed wax and grease remover on the roof.

It's lumpy,but idgaf at this point.

International's were lumpy when they were new. Your truck is looking good.

Is that stuff like brake Klein. (Evaporates)

 

[Java230]

Is that stuff like brake Klein. (Evaporates)

Yes solvent based. I wipe down with a rag, the rest evaporates.

 

[Java230]

Had about an hour yesterday. Did some masking. The PVC (?) fine line tape sure does make nicer curves!

These are a pain.

Roof was wiped down with solvent based wax and grease remover. I will do another round of that. Dust has stuck a bit over the years..... Thinking I will get some 2x12 and make a scaffold on both sides. Makes roof access a bit easier.

Probably way to late now but pinholes are pretty easy to take care of when you are spraying the primer filler. Put a nice wet coat over the pinholes and smear it in with your finger.

Any updates?

Yeah, the cabin is coming along nicely.

I spot putted all them I could find at this point.


And no, it's masked and I have all the paint, and some red pearl.....

Current status..... I had to feed the cat so I snapped you all a picture
