truck picture B-1-D-126:

 

file this under "this is why we can't have nice things", while hauling water with my dog riding in the back, the neighbors' dogs from over the hill would wander through the pasture to say 'howdy' and would get a little rambunctious :rolleyes:

want to see what lies beneath patina...

 

even with a bit of DA action on the pass side of the nose...the area is still highly pitted and rust embedded within them pits..I have no idea who would like to have this lying beneath any paint surface..

 

guess what I will be sandblasting next...

Lets see a bit more patina before and after....

 

the trunk lid with just an acid wash this patina is rust bleeding throught he paint...acid removes the rust and will some other forms of vigorous washing..but guess what..the pits are still there in the metal below the surface as is momma rust..

 

there is no such thing as patina with ferrous metal

Tim is rust ever really gone,unless you shaved a fair amount of material off the substrate.

Your recipe, will no doubt get a majority taken care of before primer.

Your Rusty metal primer does a really good job of sealing the prepped sheet metal too, and once fully cure,can handle a lot of materials over it.

Do you prefer to use fillers over bare metal, or fillers over rusty metal primer?

I find if base is well prepped, the coating on 2 sides of the panel, will seal out 2 enemies, H20 and oxygen......

the real war is rust...what you do or chose not to do rests on the individual..I'm not throwing ammunition Don..just the effects if you don't prep....I really could care less what others here do with their time or their car...I just know what I am going to do is all..just sharing a few photos and an opinion

One of the many trips into the cascades around Snoqualmie Pass on I 90

 

I sold SAMSON in 1994 for $100.00 minus the engine, which went into my 1940 Plymouth P10.

It was a good truck, but I didn't have room at my newly bought house. Wish I still had it.

Watched episode 11 of the Roy Rodgers show earlier today, filmed in 1952. Was about some cattle rustlers trying to sell stolen meat to Dale's café. The rustlers used a series WC dodge pickup to rustle the cattle, and a series LC commercial panel to deliver the meat to the café. Great shots of these old dodges in action!!! I remember another episode that used a series LC westchester suburban.

Hey David, where did you find this film?

Evenas an aussie I loved watching Roy Rodgers as a kid on TV. This would have been in the early 60's as we always received shows years after they were launched in the states...still the case is some aspects.

I assume you didn't hire it from your local corner video store!

I would love to watch it.

Is it on the internet some where?????

I haven't checked for Roy Rogers TV episodes, but a bunch of episodes of various TV shows of that era are on YouTube: Sergeant Preston of the Royal Canadian Mounties (and his wonder dog Yukon King), Sky King, Lone Ranger, etc. And game shows like What's My Line too. The kiddie serials are far worse than I remember (now I know why my parents hated them) but some parts of the game shows are still very funny.

No D boys, its Roy Rogers ;) and I only knew that because I have a vintage kids cap gun for sale on the bay right now.

I did 1 see through coat of etch primer today and 3 coats of U-Pol filler primer over bare metal that was finished with a 60 grit orbit sander....It worked fantastic! Not even a little sign of the filler I used
