Projects 26 T Roadster Pick Up build Thread

Thanks for the inspiration

 

You're welcome

 

We have Wimbledon white on a few parts

The cowl and inside of the dash and the column drop

Hard to see in the pictures but it has a really nice shine.

 

Looks great! That color combo is going to kill it!

 

Yep, BITCHEN

 

Keep at it Larry! It's suppose to get hot again this week so it will have to be early mornings.

 

Lovely Washington Blue! Color with 'dimension'...

 

Gonna be badass! Hard work and planning paying off

 

Yes, I'm painting as much as I can this week before it gets too hot.
I also painted a bunch of blue today on assorted parts.

 

Here is my 27 rpu .
V8 60 , 48 rear, 40 front,
18 inch wires

 

Well it's been a busy day for me
I painted a bunch of stuff.
Floors panels , drums , front axle ,grille shell ,
Front backing plates and the blue side of the dash.
Also the quick change axle tubes and inside of the tailgate.

 

Looking good Larry!!
That little stuff takes up BIG room don't it?

 

It sure does. And there are always more little parts than you realize.
I'll be painting more of them tomorrow.

 

Very nice..... But I hope it doesn't end up in the "too nice to drive" dilemma.

 

Oh yea, BABY! That's going to kick MAJOR ass, man. I'm sending 50 "Likes".

 

I'm not going to let that happen.
I'll be driving it plenty

The paint will be reasonably nice but far from a show car and it's definitely not going to be a garage or trailer queen

 

F that.
Make it as nice as you can.
You painted it once you can paint it again.

 

That's true enough. I'm doing my best at this point so it's all good

 

I've always told people that are painting their own car that want a driver and not some super fancy show paint to just do it to the best of your ability. I promise it won't be perfect or flawless under scrutiny. Those guys who are known for perfect paint didn't get it right the first car they body worked and painted and neither will you. So don't try to do a poor job, do the best you can and I'm sure it'll be poor enough to suit your needs.

That being said yours is looking pretty sharp! All that time spent on body work will really pay off when it's shiny

 

Poor enough to suit my needs
I'm not going for poor believe me.

I'm doing the best I can and re-doing some parts I'm not satisfied with.

You're right about the time spent, days and days, leading into weeks .
I'd hate to have to pay an hourly bill for that
It would be a big one.

I think I'm doing pretty good so far.

Here's the tailgate I shot this morning
Larry

 

I was admiring your spray booth. Is the yellow duct your discharge air line? What is it? I need some

Yes it's hooked up to the 12" confined space vent fan and with the filter box I made it's working really well.
It's a 12" x 25' flexible duct hose made specifically for the confined space fan.
I got mine at princess auto.
Do a search, I think you should probably be able to find a source.

 

"Poor" is just the word used in that generic conversation most of the time, no slight ment towards your ambitions

 

It should read just do your best and it will be good enough to meet your needs.
That would make sense.

 

Looking great and you are knocking out the work at a prodigious rate

 

More shiny parts, I wasn't happy with the way the doors and grille shell had turned out so I sanded them down and re-sprayed them early this morning along with the rest of the small parts.

What's left now is the blue on the body and bed.
Also the headlights and tail lights.

 

Lookin VERY nice Larry

 

Thanks

 

Looks good Larry. That Blue is really going to look good against the off white. I was inspired to paint today as well.

 

That's looking killer Larry, can't wait to see the final product!
