Re: 1967 F-100 project
Finally, the dash is done! Pedals from the 92-96 Super Duty, 79 dash, and I also currently have the master cyl. from an 89. I'll get the clutch MC later. All I have to do now is get the AC condenser mocked up. Dig that mockup steering wheel!

Got the underside of the inner fenders, and the covers for the front cab mounts undercoated today. Touched up a few spots on the cab, like inside the front cab mounts, also.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
A few more parts got brought out that haven't been around for a while. I'll be working on getting the cowl welded back on this week, and brought the doors out of storage, time to get to work on those also.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
Okay. Cowl and dash is all clamped up. It's at this point in a man's life that he sits down, catches his breath, grabs a cold drink, and deeply contemplates the thought "Before I weld this damn thing back together, am I forgetting anything....". So, that's where I'm at. I'm going to do a few other odds and ends, think about it some more, and see if I come up with anything else, before redoing the 150 spot welds that hold all this together. Once its on, it's on.....

Re: 1967 F-100 project
Couldn't come up with anything, so, got to it. All welded up, then spent all day yesterday dressing the welds. Man, that is a lot of work! Also rosette welded the backing plate onto the firewall for the brake and clutch M/C's. Nice thing is, she's a whole cab again!

Re: 1967 F-100 project
Got to work on the doors last night. the bottoms of both doors look pretty rough. But, with some work with the grinder, they cleaned up pretty well. I'll use some Metal Prep to remove the last of the rust.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
Each door has a bad spot in the lower corner. So, started on the drivers side, cut out the section, cleaned it up, and shot the inside with Eastwoods Rust Encapsulator. I made a patch out of 18 ga., I'll be welding that on maybe tonight.

Welded the patches on for both doors. Also, patched the holes for the mirrors.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
The passenger door had a pretty good crease in it, so did some work with the stud welder and slide hammer, should need just a little bit of filler to smooth it out.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
I'm glad I decided to remove the paint all along the bottom of the doors. I found another spot that was under the paint, and barely visible on the back side of the pass. door. Patching that also.

Finished up patching the last door yesterday. Worked out pretty slick. Sprayed the inside with Metal Prep, in preparation for the POR-15 coating.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
I was hoping I could pull this dent with the stud gun and slide hammer. But, someones half-ass job in the past made that impossible. They had tried to pull it out using a sheet metal screw, and left the holes. So, I had to cut it out, and create a patch. Took me almost 2 hours to get this right, way too many angles at this spot. This patch should do it for the cab, it's now ready to start the body work.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
Decided to use a chemical stripper on the outside of the doors, the paint seemed awful thick. Now I know why. Drivers door had a big former repair on it, and two coats of paint! Passenger side looked fine. So, got the stud welder out, and pulled out as much as I could. I'm going to sandblast the insides of the doors, hopefully later this week, coat the inner sections, and then shoot epoxy. Hopefully the weather cooperates!

Re: 1967 F-100 project
I wanted to blast around the inner edges of the doors, just because it's too hard to get the paint out mechanically, or with stripper around the edges. I built a small booth to blast them with the pot blaster in the driveway, to help keep the media from going all over. Worked like a charm.

Re: 1967 F-100 project
I also blasted the hinges off in the cabinet. After replacing my old Craftsman angle die grinder (died on me on Sunday) with a Ingersoll Rand one, I cleaned up the doors. I'm going to shoot the doors around the edges with epoxy primer , and the hinges. Then, I'm going to hang the doors on the cab, and shoot the rest of them. I also have a few spots on the cab to touch up, so I'll do all of that at once.
