Puttin a little color back in her cheeks(pics added)

Post by wt4speed#2 »

Hey all

Its been a while since I've updated this topic. Seems as though I've had one of those snowballing incidents :D , it all started when I started driving a company vehicle , the alternator bearings in the stepper where making a little noise , had a terrible exhaust leak both banks . Couldn't locate any alternator bearings so I cleaned the old ones up and repacked them with synthetic grease and they probably will sing like a bird anyways. While I had it apart I picked up some rebuilders paint at TSC and really spiffed it up , and this is where the snowball was born . Upon reinstalling the alternator all shiny like new ,I thought this ain't going to work, 8) knowing I had 2 cans of ceramic Ford blue engine paint (old shade) I decided to give her a fresh coat . And this is where my "Well while I'm here"'s started . Cab and chassis in garage , motor and tranny out in floor next to the carcass , bed with no floor on saw horses in driveway
With any luck I'll have some sort of a resemblance of a '69 F-100 something to bring to Fort Hood in November.
As of today Sunday, Oct 23 , the firewall has been painted with my own concoction of grey primer and aluminum silver (neat results ) the motor is freshly painted , as well as the tranny with any luck they will be back in today :oops: and most of the accessories cleaned and repainted
My plans are to have cab and front clip in primer , and if by some miracle
the bed (with some sort of floor in tack) ready for Fort Hood Meet and greet.:D :D
And when i arrive in that little black Rodeo I will have yarns to spin and pictures in tow .
