srodocker's "little" project
Ok WoW I’m starting this thread for Scott (aka SRODOCKER) since I took the pictures. If I could sum up today’s project in one phrase it would be the one about biting off more than you could chew! ……..well it was not so bad but PVT Murphy was there for a bit in the beginning. We had a Craftsman Sand Blaster kit that was clearly not up to the task even once we got to work properly. So it was mostly air powered wire brush and my DeWalt grinder with a sanding disc along with some good old fashioned elbow grease working with non-powered scrapers to get the rough spots cleaned up.
I remember now why we used to just cut old soft tops off because it is a REAL pain to get it out of the channel properly. I was quiet surprised as his top went on not to long ago and you could see the grease on the ends still from when they put it on. We spent most of the day doing prep work with some still remaining but we did get two coats of the bed liner “rust oleum” brand put down in the cab. Scott’s Grandfather was great he kept us well fed with some awesome food.
Not to mention he was in the service too so he had some stories for us. I want to thank the women who grudgingly supported us all day: Scott’s GF Danielle, my Wife and Daughter (who kept wanting to leave to play with friends back at home, although she too let us work for the most part), also Scott’s Aunt (I think?) who put up with us doing all this in her front yard!
Guys if anyone wants to help Scott tomorrow I think he plans on spraying the first coat tomorrow. I can’t help because I have a Distant Learning computer course I have to finish by next Wednesday. I told him we should taking a bunch of pictures showing what GREAT time we were having and post em up! (hoping for the “Tom Sawyer effect” for those of you that don’t understand Tom acted like he was having so much fun painting a fence….pretty soon he had all his friends lining up for a turn to help) Anyways Scott could use a hand or two for sure because a deuce is a lot of truck! Especially to prep by hand……….stupid sand blaster!
Also I was able to talk to Scott more than I have in the past and discovered that he worked two jobs in order to buy his Deuce so I give him mad props.....not to many younger guys have that kind of drive and determination!
Great Job Scott!
-Dale

Great pics Dale, you guys are definately not in Graham. Unless these was some massive flooding recently that requires a ferry ride  What a great day to paint. Luckily he will have the same great weather for at least a week or two

Scotty, you need to get some wider regular masking tape 2-2.5" wide and a few razor blades to trim with, some of the prep up needs a touch up before you spray...

Yeah I'm beat too, I wish I could just go to sleep like that, I will probably be up for few hours more..........
oh and for everyone else when a certain GF had enough she said "we've been here for like nine hours" so every so often after that I'd toss a comment out like how long we been doing this Scott? its been like 10 hours! I think by the time I left I was saying it had been like 15 or something
