Build 1995 full resto build

I think he meant access to install the Ravelco would be easy since the truck is currently apart.

I’m not planning any anti-theft devices on this Cruiser. Once it’s done, it will spend most of its nights in my garage or far from the city.

Well at least alarm the sh*t out of the garage; I've read about several vehicles being stolen from garages while owners slept.

No worries, I misunderstood him.

So now that the POR15 is cured we are sanding/scuffing it. We use 400g on the DA sander where we can and red scotch bright pads for the rest.

Just a wee bit hot in the shop today!

A Canadian boy like me would be passed out on the floor right now in that temp!

How you can work in that temp I have no idea!

Do you use the tiecoat primer for the next stage?

When I use Por I let it dry till tacky then cover it with Tremclad/Rustoleum satin black. Becomes permanent and then any further topcoats are easy.

It makes a feller want to bolt a bunch of shiny stuff to it.

Very impressive as to how fast your moving. How many hours will you have into it when it’s turn key? If it’s confidential I’ll understand.

A LOT, these kind of builds take hundreds of hours or more.

Couple more pics for today.

Getting all our axle parts prepped first so we can build out the axles and have a rolling chassis.
