- We applied the rattle can spray rebuild program here today. Took multiple tools and hours of scrubbing down old paint to lay new paint down. While I DID NOT get all the paint off, it will suffice for our refurbishment program.
Looks good! Amazed at the amount of work you had to put in just for the front chassis and the firewall. Saving the captive nut was a gratifying win! Awesome, dude 😊
Oh man!!! I was feeling so down when I thought we could not make it work. I am really relieved that we could, in fact, save it!
I'm like you heck with the ppe
Good luck with the future stuff... keep the build going here please... and more tractor stuff maybe. Rest the back up...
Seeing the cowl getting cleaned, rust being stripped and all the metal getting protected with shiny new paint makes me feel all fuzzy inside. Truck ought to get another 45 years of life.
Any news in the engine department?
My brother who owns the truck just moved and he is finalizing funds to rebuild it. Hopefully Ill send it off to the machine shop by fall. I'm tired of it taking up my shop floor space haha!
Looks good SM, keep the vids going on this one. Love your shenanigans 😂🤠👍
Bless Rob! 😁💥🔥
@SwedeMachine I sympathise with you about your back, too. I was born with a spinal defect, though you wouldn't know if you saw me, so I've never been able to do your kind of work, though i used to manage simple things like changing oil etc. But at nearly 60 years old I let the younger ones get down and dirty now lol. BTW, I was introduced to your channel by my little brother Jules - sorted George. 🤠
Ohh yeah! Jules mentioned that! I’m sorry lol. I can’t imagine if we actually got together….i know nothing will get done 🤣🤣
@SwedeMachine Thanks mate. Yeah, you're probably right, well nothing too heavy or strenuous anyway. 😂🤠
I still want your hat if ever made available in "merch".... just sayin'
I’ll make a note of that. 💪🏼🔥
Why not use a wire wheel as a more flexible paint remover tool for those tight spaces and corners?
You know I could have. I do have a set in the service rig. Honestly it didn’t cross my mind haha. But I wasn’t trying to get 100% of the paint off anyways. Just going for a quick refresh route I guess. Maybe I have been exposed to too many paint fumes in my life? 🙃
Plus it’s enamel paint. Very tough. The wire wheel I don’t think would be able to take it off so easily. The paint needs to be taken off with something more abrasive, such as sand blasting or sandpaper.
Hey, I see u got som white paint on that old Volvo PV 544 now. What is the story about that car?
The paint was when my uncle last owned the car before he sold it to me. He was in the process of restoring it. Unfortunately he could not complete the project so now I will take the torch and rebuild it. He isn't the original owner. But has owned it since the 1980's. All the family are familiar with the car as they used to take rides in it. When I get done with my brothers 77 F-250 we are working on, I think that will become the main project. We will work on other stuff but I really need to get the PV544 rolling again! Thanks for asking
Hej du har en grym kanal hälsningar från Sweden 👍
Thank you! I Hope in a year or two I will start work on the 1963 PV 544 for you all 🤔😊🇺🇸🇸🇪
