last months project. I'm just a diesel mechanic with a tiny bit of paint experience but ive found the shooting paint is far easier than the prep! Heres before. stripping decal and body filling dents/rust primer coats base clear silver metallic ford z7 like my dd now working on the...

if there is a H screw on the carb open it up just slightly, counterclockwise. You many have to dremel a slot on the screw to use a flathead since they are a 12 point special wrench . A red heat shrink connector works too.

Looks good!

Heres mine. I moved it exactly like yours, enclosed uhaul but did not use a top strap and FORGOT TO LOCK THE BOX !!!!! within 50 miles the box was tipped over inside the uhaul trailer. Took a few guys to get it uprighted, no bent drawers but broke and bent several ball bearing slides and the...

Updates- Ive painted it black, added some lights, and built some ramps. it pulls great but the ramp angles are too steep. Thinking about building some short extensions to hang off the bumper at less of an angle for the ramps to sit on to give it a better approach. Heres some pics, weight...

tractor rake, was green, just needle scaled and used autobody master etch and fill, then shot the majik orange Back blade, was yellow bought new, just scuffed w/ scotchbrite and painted w/ majik orange and black Lastly my trailer, The top was primed w/ por-15 then shot w/ majik gloss...

Within the last 6 months ive used this majik brand oil based enamel on several pieces. Ive used the kubota orange and the gloss black. Ive sprayed it from my devilbiss hvlp gun using thier reducer and autobody master brand hardner/ super wet look. The spraying took some extra thinning with...

yes, they look to be very well fused together. I could still add some gussets underneath for peace of mind.

The set up it has on it the axle doesn't move front to back only up and down. So there isn't any wandering. The only way ive seen was to have all 3independently suspended or all 3 linked together like mine.

Now that you mention it ive seen that before but never really thought about using that "rail". Great suggestion.

Re: Give me hell!! Looks like a nice set up behind all that um ya know stuff , haha. My place is no different only Ive got it spread over the 3 car garage, dog coop/ shed and a back shed that I added a 16x16 shaddition on last year for even more cluttered storage. Some shelving in the...

Haven't looked into winches yet but definitely need to. I welded 3 D ring tie downs on the front. The back will probably be through the stake pockets.

Maybe without the front wheels on it looks like there will be tongue weight but I have a few examples of why the front is a touch long. My truck pictured above broke down about 8 hours from home and I had a friend tow me back with my dads tandem axle 14,000 lb trailer. My truck wouldn't fit...

Latest update. Passenger fender is on. A couple more small stitches here and there and a few more stake pockets and she should be ready for paint. I seam sealed the top sheet edges and fender welds even though the fenders were fully welded, just in case of pinholes. It now sits outside again...

ya those look great. Very well done.

no, its paint on bottom and knock down on top. A friend of mine is a painter and said the bottom was done by first painting it then putting plastic on the wall and pulling the plastic off, to give it the "texture" that kind of shows. Personally to me it looks purple. Which I don't like. Everyone...

Here's mine. 12x32. Some old pics. More beer mirrors now, plan to build a bar with knotty pine.

I bought this 3pc devilbiss set. Built the holder. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/dvr-802789/overview/ I'm no professional painter by any stretch, and had the best results with these. Ive used the harbor freights, campbell hausfelds, and even depot husky brand before and they do work ok...

I was just gonna say they are very expensive. Probably why they chuck out so much left over scraps of aluminum/brass etc. Guy pays through the nose for a piece of stock, they cut it and the piece thats left is bonus scrap money. :rocker:
