That paint can scarred me for life, emotionally.  Good thing you didn't try to open it the same day you tried to use the wheeler.
Camp is where you make it.

Do you thin the POR15 and spray or brush/roll on?

Since nobody can come to an agreement on paint color I think you should just do it like this... ![[Linked Image]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c11/drumdaddy/1968-Plymouth-Roadrunner-artcar-fa-le.jpg) That way everybody will have their favorite color in there somewhere Whoever did that needs to be shot on sight.

I gots me some back issues this morning.... gimpy. But I'm going to try to get out and do some welding today on the car. Dave has had some issues lately hasnt he.?
Yes, yes dave has. remember the guy in this photo? the guy with the cactus? You might recall that I proclaimed this man swinging the cactus is the father of a teenage daughter. I know it for certain. ![[Linked Image]](http://dudelol.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/swinging-cactus.png) You see.... they test us... These daughters. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5751.jpg) Nice parking job... ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5752.jpg) You guys like that don't ya? Little mustang laying on it's belly right on my sidewalk... Covered with mud, while there is a perfectly good 4x4 pickup available to drive, sitting gassed up with the keys in it, sitting... Some might say the old pickup is more suitable for muddy driving conditions.... Who knows for sure right? You can't just hook a tow rope up to something like that you know, you'll wreck stuff for sure. So you do something like this to free it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5753.jpg) That's the kind of stuff I do when I'm not working on my road runner. Yes Dave has had some issues lately for sure. I'm going to the garage now to make welding sparks, listen to classic rock, drink heavy beer and try not to injure myself with power tools.
Something clever here.

Dave
Do you thin the POR15 and spray or brush/roll on? I've done both spray and brush. For this little task I was just sealing up the insides of the frame rails so I just brushed/slopped it on. Edit: (but no, I wouldn't thin it, I'd advise against that actually) I'll try to get some project pics up for you guys later today.

155 holes drilled, ready to start welding. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5771.jpg) Gas tank strap mounts get welded on first. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5772.jpg) Plug weld every hole with the mig welder. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5773.jpg) I was working on the long weld up front, the splice weld when I ran out of shielding gas for the welder, gotta make a run to town. ![[Linked Image]](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/northerndave/roadrunner%20stuff/102_5776.jpg)

Dave- can you mig directly to a surface coated with POR? I noticed you removed the coating from your new trunk pan, but am I guessing right that you didn't from the frame it's welded to?

If you look back at my photos you'll see green masking tape on the weld surfaces while I was doing the POR15. I peeled the tape exposing clean metal and then I sprayed those areas with a special zinc primer that you can weld through.
