I may never finish, but I won't give up :)
Like Coyote says, "I'll fix it myself and pay the extra $500" :lolsmack2:

He got in a fight with some other member and went too far is what I heard.

Yeah I was the one he got in the confrontation with. He got what he deserved!!

Re: 1962 GMC 305V6 4WD Slow DD Build - Cecilia (Pic Heavy)
 

Yeah I didn't think Jeannie would hammer someone unless it went way too far. She's rapped me on the knuckles from time to time but it's always just a friendly reminder to follow the rules and maybe deleting one of my um....more excitable posts. :D

I had to go back and look at them but it says this
I want each and every one of you to know that we will never ban a member outright without several warnings.

So I guess he got read bad real fast. Jeannie seems pretty patient putting up with stuff (and thank you for that if you're reading this!).

:yourock:


Glad you're still here BB. I'm going to need all the help I can get if my engine is bad and I hope you'll peek in from time to time and lay down the knowledge. :thumbsup:

Well BarryGMC had slandered me three posts consecutively so doing more than once was beyond way to far!

Re: 1962 GMC 305V6 4WD Slow DD Build - Cecilia (Pic Heavy)
 

I wasn't here but I trust Jeannie's judgement. Like I said though Im glad you're still here, and DAC, GMCGUY, WDShaffer, Groby, Jolly, Ed, and Culver, and all the other guys that have real wrench turning experience. There's a lot of info here on the forum but nothing beats experience.

Without you guys I'd never have got my truck running much less get it into regular use. And restoration? Fuggeddaboudit!

:thanks:


On the downside, my newly painted wheels are rusting in pinholes. :(
Spraypaint was such a bad idea there after all that prepwork.

Re: 1962 GMC 305V6 4WD Slow DD Build - Cecilia (Pic Heavy)
 

The problem with spray can paint is it's heavily watered down with solvents in order for it to be sprayable from a can, in no time at all it fades and loses it's durability from exposure to sun light.

Well, if Barry got what he deserved then why do I feel punished? I miss his input and have lost most of my interest in visiting this forum since his departure. The post by Jeannie indicated a ten day ban. That was a month ago.

Re: 1962 GMC 305V6 4WD Slow DD Build - Cecilia (Pic Heavy)
 

I got a lot of info from him too. He was always willing to help and I wouldn't have got the front end rebuilt without him. I'll miss his input and his wisdom but I can't stop just because he isn't here anymore. The build must go on!
I like to think he'd appreciate that.

Well dang it. I KNEW spraypainting was a bad idea. Ugh.

I invested in a few small cans of por-15 this winter to try again. I'm going to use a brush with it. I hate having to media blast it all over again though. Do you know if it's OK to paint the inside under where the tire goes too? I didn't last time but I might this time to fend off any rust monsters.

Re: 1962 GMC 305V6 4WD Slow DD Build - Cecilia (Pic Heavy)
 

It would be a good idea to under where the tire goes, I highly suggest you invest in a small air compressor and paint gun to get the job done right, spray cans and brushes just don't do it right.
