Thanks I finally found a pic! No search would pull it until I added heater core to it thanks again!

Heater core? So the heater unit was under the pass seat? Feel bad for the driver in the winter

We are working on a 53 studebaker post. There is a rectanglecutout under where the pass seat would be . It's factory bead rolled with a lip. Right now it looks like an air intake in it. No luck on Google even looked under repl panels.

I used sherwin Williams all purpose Sprayed great in bad conditions , they mix colors for you and are always having sales, that's the house paint store not the car paint store. You can also harden it. Not sure about holding up since I'm still wiring the motor but the semi gloss is a nice satin...

Front lines are new braided stainless

I am usin a proportiioning valve not fully adjust since its not wired , ill check the push rod but the petal and plunger only go in a hair so I don't think that's it have resid valves too disc and drum

Why not do a frame backhalf? Not sure what you are working on or with it if you wanna drop a mini truck a hair lower you would build a frame out of 2x3 or 2x4 from the fire wall back and welt it to the front clip . That's if it is a factory frame for a tube frame. Or like he said cut the frame...

So my breaks lock up on e I push in the pedal and stay that way . Manual breaks Chevy dual res master cylinder typical full size ford discs up front . The rear are drums and seem fine . Did this when I bled the breaks a month or so ago but released while setting now it's locked again! Can stand...

I used an angle grinder with a thin blade . An air body saw is great but blades are hard to find around here. Sawsall on the double panels

Well it's still in the air Love the last scallops too bad that ideas used hah. Actuall the primer and flat black is pretty freakin close in the next to last picture! I was gonna go with 3 points instead 2 .

Haha Sam My beer comes in a can ! The solo cups are for mixing oil base paint. No laquer forgot and used one for my filler primer and it turned to wet tissue paper just as I poured it out! Close one ! Here's the truck I do recommend the sherwin all surface as far as a mix able oil base

Sorry Hoods body line not fender! Doh! Here is one painted that wayi think

It's a 44 gmc I have a build thread on here just haven't updated since body work started. Can't decide to paint the actual firewall off white, it's getting the same colored scallops on the sides, or from the body line for the fenders forward. Thoughts ?

Gotter painted I used sherwin willams all surface , a little high but it was 30perc off. Lays down like a champ sprayed in 40 degree weather with the wind blowing over full solo cups!

My way I had a pitted dash, used converter on the pits angle grinder with a cup brush then cleared it stained a little brown around the pits I loved it

Just my thoughts not from exp. I would be worried about the shrink and stretch from the sun on the metal . I do realize that a lot of body panels are being glued on in factory's but they leave a seam like on late model cab corners . So if you use one of those rediculous expensive 3m panel glue...

Brake riviter question An old surplus horder died in my home town and I asked about any large tools he migh have left be hind when his kids were saling and scrapping. One was a brake riveter / vertical drum sander didnt buy it cause I knew I'd never use it or have room. Still don't get what...

should mention im not looking for show quality! i know its not gonna be gold from lead . just that tractor supply doesnt mix to match paint. itll be semi gloss , they said satin doesnt come in oil based weird right. the body was left slightly ruff. as in i hid most of the welds but left the...

i have started using krylon satin boot leather brown but kylon does not carry this in a quart or gallon so i thought about using valspars oil based semi gloss floor paint i have used it on my house and it covered awsome and take a rediculos beating its even on my car port and will be on my shop...
