Oh, one other thing..... While paint was drying this afternoon I helped Travis tear the front clip of his BJ. About 3 hours, pretty good start. I'm thinking he should have the body off tomorrow.

Oooooooh, thats like a seameless skin on the underside to keep it from ever rusting again.


Looking forward to Heavylifts build also.

I sure hope so

That skin along with the seam sealer, should outlast me.

Matt,

What is Travis's SN on here. I wanna keep an eye out for his build thread! Keep up the good work, you sure are making my 89 62 look bad with all that clean undercarrage.

Nothing earth moving as usual from me, but DAMN good work again!

Got a couple hours in on the lv tonight. I was trying to hustle up tonight and get it back on the hoist tonight, but that didn't work out. I got back home after work tonight and someone was tearing apart a BJ40 at my place and I just had to get involved for a couple hours

Pretty much just block out the drip rail one more time with 180 grit. Then I wanted to get some seam sealer on all the exposed seams. My body man buddy gave me his tip of the day for seam sealing where you can see it. Run masking tape the width of the area you want it first. Then apply the seam sealer, run you finger through it and pull the tape at 90 degrees to the surface right away. Man, that worked good. I think after the priming you can see how it looks.......and it won't rust

After I got the seam seal on shot a couple light coats of DP50LF epoxy primer over the top. Also wanted to seal up the ureathane primer. Should be ready to wet sand now when I get ready to paint.

Might get back on the hoist tomorrow, we'll see if I'm playing with anymore 40's first though ;p

Couple pics of this stuff called reflectix insulation. I'm going to use it in the roof as a pad for sound proofing.

I've seen it used in hot rod's in a couple magazines in restos where they used it for the same application.

It has a R-11 insulation value which is pretty good since it's only a 1/4" thick. Basiclly aluminum foil bonded on each side of bubble wrap looking stuff.

You've all seen the pics of the old OEM headliner pad, or as I like to call it......the sponge. This stuff shouldn't hold any moisture and I think will work well for help with sound in the roof. Also thinking of using it in the doors also.

I have seen that stuff b/f but thought that the bubles could eventually pop. (I waqs thinking of using it in the floor. (Thats why I didnt use it.) Dynomat or the like is prob the best bet. Basically anything a stereo shop would deal with.

Just a thought.

I agree, I wouldn't use it in the floor either. I already have some stuff for the floor, probably is Dynomat, about a 1/2" thick pad with this foil bonded to one side.

I don't think I want to use that in the roof, couple reasons: I think I might have the same sponge problem that the OEM stuff had, maybe not, but I've done enough rust removal, not going to risk it.

2nd: The OEM carpet pad that was up there was partially held in by the 3 x-members that supported the roof. From the factory they glued the pad in on the roof skin first and then installed the roof. The pad was sandwiched between the x-members and the roof skin. No matter how heavy it was, it couldn't fall out. I have the x-members in and used a sound dampening sauce that would replicate a new vehilce. The pad will be glued up there in 3 seperate pieces in between the 3 x-members. It has to support it's own weight, this stuff is light.

My reasoning, Matt

I see what you are saying. Either will prob be fine. I definately understand yo unot wanting any chance of rust ever again. I do undertand that for sure. My 62 is from MN and it sucks! Trucks down here just dont have that much rust unless its a fairly old vehicle.

Sweet another thread to follow!!!

Keep up the great work!!

I would have agreed with you before I bought my latest truck. It has this stuff on the floor and even under the drivers feet there are very few bubbles popped and no rips at all. I'm pleasantly surprised and plan to reuse it under the new carpet.

Some guys have had good results with brownbread as well.
