Now what, is that acid neutralized or is in gonna keep eating. Looks nice.

sprdv1 · Jul 16, 2011

Excellent.. Look forward to it man.

How much did the acid dip cost?

fordguy · Jul 16, 2011

750.00 dollars. as far as i can tell the acid is nuetralized. i will replace the metal that needs it and it will go back for de-rust and ecoat. ecoat is a dipped exopy they use on new cars. frame is getting dipped now and should be back in several weeks, it is also being ecoated. cant decide on what to do for paint on the frame, will try to figure that out next week. they have all kinds of cool powder coat colors.

Man,them dippers and blasters sure show ya' what needs replacing, huh!!!%)

;D

fordguy · Jul 17, 2011

yeah sorta good thing bad thing. no problem finding the spot welds;D

stupidboy · Jul 17, 2011

What company are you using for this dipping and ecoating?

sgtdcoulter · Jul 17, 2011

Looks real good, but rust is all that holds mine together, I would worry that it would fall apart. Good luck.

hardcharger · Jul 17, 2011

hmmm that dipping and ecoating sounds like a cool idea

fordguy · Jul 17, 2011

conpany in jackson called metal finishing services. we also have a local nissan plant and a sub for them does ecoating and metal finishing has a deal worked out with them

fordguy · Jul 31, 2011

got a couple of hours work in yesterday, everything is looking good. hope to get passenger pan in this week.

fordguy · Aug 3, 2011

cold chisel and side grinder has been working for me to get the floor pan off the braces. spot weld remover does ok in some places. slow going, will probably order the rotisserie. frame has gone to ecoat so it should be back next week, that will give me something to work on when i get bored with sheet metal removal.;D

sprdv1 · Aug 3, 2011

coming along for you man, keep it up.

fordguy · Aug 20, 2011

took some all thread and used it as a tensioner and pulled the gap tight on my tail light housing. the original spare tire rack had it stretched out about a 1/4 of inch. have the passenger floor pan fitted, ready to weld. running buddy is coming by tomorrow to inspect.

fordguy · Sep 6, 2011

slow going on the floor plans, frame will be back next week, so i can work on that when i get bored with cutting sheet metal. has anyone every rebuilt just the bottom of the front door posts/pillars. about 4 inches of mine is all that is bad. i was going to fab the bottoms up, but i cant really tell how it is made. does someone have some not on the truck they could take some close-ups of the bottom.

fordguy · Oct 2, 2011

frame got delayed in ecoat, will pick it up tomorrow and post pics of how the ecoat looks.

Stutsmo · Oct 2, 2011

I wanna see the pics of the ecoated frame. Is the tub going to get Ecoated also?
They Ecoat RV frames where my brother works and depending on how yours turns out I might check out getting mine done also.
