Hello ND. I lover it! The color suits the car. She looks slick. You have the touch with body work my good man. Wish you lived close, cause I'm gonna need lots of help with my 67 truck. It's pretty bad.

Please tell the FIL specs don't call for it end up as ghetto-mobile, i.e spinners, 20+ inch tires, hydraulic suspension, and a trunk full of amps and speakers!
BTW, very nice!
I never thought I'd grow up to be a grumpy old man, but I did, and I'm killin' it.

Hey, Dave, one of my FB buddies was drooling over some pics of a sweet old Ford truck about a month ago. I had the pleasure of telling him, "Hey, I kinda know that guy. Lemme tell you the story and send you a link."
Yep, it was Nate's rig that you documented here for us last year.
You do awesome work and provide a more than welcome diversion here.

For those that could maybe be interested in details of my efforts today. Sealer was metalux by chem spec, I sprayed it with Iwata LPH400LVX, 1.4 fluid tip. It lays super slick, great sealer.
Base was also metalux, also sprayed with the Iwata LPH400LVX (orange cap). Basically a wet coat followed by a medium coat, it sews into itself really nice, I don't seem to have suffered any mottle. I had LVB (purple cap) ready for a final straightening coat if needed but the LVX handled the ice blue metallic metalux very well.
Clear was SPI universal which is a high solids 1:1, I shot unreduced with Sata Jet 5000RP 1.3.
The Sata was great, very fast gun, lays it real slick. I have very little orange peel to level before buffing, even though I piled on 3 heavy coats.
The SPI clear was ok, I guess I don't quite understand the cult following it has quite yet, I thought it kicked too fast even with slow activator. I've got some die back in a few spots on the roof, no big deal because I am cutting and buffing anyways.

Used to work in that part of the world in early 80s. Badger, Wannaska and Roosevelt were my favorite burbs. Didn't remember so much for great rides there back then. Nice piece of work there Northern Dave.

I am lost on the new paints and process other than an admirer. R&M Alpha-Cryl Acrylic Lacquer was the hot sheits when I was still painting along with standard DuPont enamel for the cheap quickie paint jobs.

Brings back some memories. First new car we owned was a 65 Impala station wagon with the hottest 327 motor one could get from the factory. Dad got a dual quad intake manifold and stuck it on. It flew as I recall and my grandma was the worst for racing it- and she didn't drive! She would egg on my mother in particular. I suspect grandma didn't drive due to losing her license!
I love the car and hope to own something like that some day. I'll have to keep an eye open the next time I am in that part of the state.
I used to work with a gal from up that way, she was a medic in The Cities then moved back up. She was interesting to talk to and my wife new several of her relatives. I should look her up too if in the area.

No, not too many do any more. I appreciate it from a traditional standpoint, but I think there are better ways these days.
