Great looking truck! I like you're website, let us know when you update with new pics!

I am late to this post but anyways, I do that same thing. Mine has overspray all over it too. Looks like this has to get added to one of those lists of "you know if your a hot rodder if...". heh Then you can say "you know your a hot rodder if your trash can has overspray all over it." Or something like that.

Nice one ! down here we would call it Kiwi ingenuity. A great idea if you want the cheap hassle free option of hanging a guard though. I usually hang car parts off the wifes cloathsline when i am painting things up. S

Haha. She scream at you? I use a small tree and hand stuff off the branches... I have to make sure I hang it up a foot higher than I want because all the weight pulls down on it. Can you say "RedNeck"? Haaaaaaha

yes to both specially when the washing was on the line as well.

My only question is how do you keep from getting a bare spot when painting over that tow strap? dont worry about being shunned because you don't have a $20 body stand. Think of it as multi tasking... when you sand, your dust will already be thrown away! Keep up the backyard engineering!

C'mon folks,

We're all guilty of using something that was not designed for our purpose. Years ago we used wooden milk crates instead of jack stands. We used bricks, rocks, or debri for a chock block. Or banged out body dents with a claw hammer. I just used a $12 Come-Along slung from a tree for an engine hoist. You should see my 52 F-1 cab sitting up on two wooden stair cases from a mobile home. Sometimes you gotta work with what you have.

Try this one:

A small "little red wagon" with the floor cut out. It makes a great engine stand, that you can pull the engine around to where you need it.

My buddy uses a little red wagon for his welding cart. It works really well. and it matches his welder. Awww cute

and.....I doubt I'm the only one who used to have a retired kitchen sink and a NAPA $17.00 fuel pump for a parts washer complete with a 5 gallon bucket under the drain for the solvent????

yyyyyup. Avocado & White as I recall.

Mine was REALLY first rate.....Double stainless sinks with a metal cabinet. Used the one on the left for stanasol and the pump, the sink on the right for letting the parts drip dry!!!!!

Nope, you're not the only one. My plumber buddy gave me a stainless two-holer.

how about running a set of JE pistons thru the dish washer ? boy it did a hell of a good job. they were new and did some dome work on them and they needed a good washing so or boiling piston over the stove to help get the pins out of some new old stock trw pistons . i pick and filed my 34 ford truck fenders in my room .useing set of my moms chairs
