i honestly have zero faith in this product, but while we contemplate what to do with that bad rusty spot on the hood, we'll give it another go

Re: Restoring Rusty
You can probably liberate that section from your other hood. I see welding in your future...

so decided to brush up my welding skills a bit before cutting into that bad section of the hood, so it was time to patch the hole in the trans tunnel

tac, tac, slowly but surely it's getting there, I like it, keeping the burn through to a minimum, then some grinder action and no one will even know how ugly this stitching was

then it was time to shoot some special primer, in other words the first can I could reach on the shelf
and after that I wanted to cover this with this special SEM undercoating stuff I've been saving for days and wanting to shoot it on something so bad, well I lost the can in the last house move I recon, cause I couldn't find it today, so I used that junk spray I used on my dash that is supposed to give a wrinkle texture finish but it sure don't it does shoot backward onto your arm though |
Re: Restoring Rusty
At least you didn't shoot yourself in the eye.

Dude. Don't you live in like the middle of California? Are you buying your truck parts out of the northeast states or something? Sorry to see the weight-saving-area on the inside of your hood. Your progress looks good across the board though. The Saginaw held up just fine with the landscaping duties, right?
PS, I hope you don't mind my apocalyptically numbered post landing on your thread. If I thought a deal with the devil could net you some rust-free parts, you know I'd be the first to sign up. Maybe. |

remember back in July 2016 when I got this fancy distributor cap...
Quote:
Now in the fancy Cross-Fire caps defense it did not come with a coil I swapped the coil out of the GM HEI unit into it, which by the way the GM HEI distributor is the one that seized on me, so it's the worst of the bunch yet it was the most expensive one, go figure.

SEM 39523 SUBBERIZED UNDERCOATING
game on, this can just feels like a quality product, I hope to shoot this behind the seat to shoulder level as well as on the floor for as it says "premium... sound dampening" but first we shall try it out on that handsome tuxedo black transmission tunnel cover |
Re: Restoring Rusty
Let us know what you think. I thought about doing all of inside my cab with that stuff.

I discovered this product when I had a shop weld in the floor on my '68 Mustang about 10 years ago (god I'm such an idiot for selling that Ford) it looked so good and I bet they didn't do much prep and clean up just shot it over all that junk, and still it looked amazeballz. |
