I actually worked a little this weekend on the K - probably going to be stuff that looks like duplicates so bear with me - I attacked that fuel tank.
IF you see it looks new and the next its surface rust - here is some concepts for you. RUST NEEDS OXYGEN to live and survive you use epoxy sealers...
Those rounded cap rivets are Buck Rivets - needs two people to install then. Easy to find the process on the web - sure there would be a youtube about it. Same way semi trailers are built - aircraft. Do not do this if you have a hangover.
Anyone wanting to see specific pictures of the K just PM me please and I will do all I can to satisfy your questions and parts of the K.
Those that may come just bring something to pass if you can - laid back time to just watch PB and CAMO crew hook up with the K back again before she goes back...
Ok folks pay attention.
Plan is to have the K ready the weekend of the 19th 20th. I left a message for the Morgans.
I plan on only hamburgers and hotdogs Zouts treat....bring whatever else you need. Come see PB's K18-C back to life.
If YOU CAN MAKE IT PLEASE COME. Any questions pm me....
Glad you caught the addicton Thommy. Its more cool being here around it.
First coat in the tank has been done and drying. Recommended second coat goes in tomorrow morning after coffee.

Where did i put that 45 foot antenna for setup static display????
Heck-i might just take a spin a rooney around the...
PB is not ever going to tell you but the K being saved is strickly him. Giving me free reign on it is a tough call for anyone who owns a project someone else is going to work on and then know you would have a tough time stopping in and checking up on it.
I know there are a few members who do...
I guess TOMORROW will answer that pretty straight forward for ya PB.
HEY - I never used any rags so far for cleanup. Zout2 bought these new cool terry cloth bath towel sets - so she ask's - have I seen any of them cause she is missing a few (place surprised look here). NA honey not a clue.
but...
I doubt it had any. Pb got the unit with the floor removed and scattered throughout the truck. There are two small cover plates missing and i have some misc steel. Now the issue is get everything else done as these got added to the bottom of the to do list......it just gave some company to the...
Got floor plates getting to be installed - only one left to fit is the beat to **** center hump plate that covers the valve cover. Someone smashed the chit out out of this cover - it should fit tight on an arch from front to back - NO WAY this baby fits the way it is and you can see the huge gap...
Kill two birds with one stone this weekend - 97.1 playing the Ga Jumbo Bucks Lotto hit song - PLUS drive around the power line in the K - PRICELSSS - we'll let you know where to send donations.
