Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test
I think the point was to test the adhesion. Phosphoric acid works but we are told you can’t epoxy over it. I spoke to TAMCO yesterday and she said just sand the acid. My parts have been sitting for about a week and they’ll sit like this until I get the primer in to protect them. I’ll then...- Art Vandelay

Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test
@legopnuematic I was hoping you would respond. I have only done the tank brackets in Acid and there isn’t a lot of crevices so should be able to neutralize them before Monocoat. I’m going to use the 5311 for my frame. Did you do the chassis black over that?- Art Vandelay

Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test
I'm looking at getting some Tamco Moncoat for axles and small parts but their Q&A says "Do not use any form of rust converters..." but if you neutralize like in video don't see why it wouldn't work. https://tamcopaint.com/products/monocoat-1-k-direct-to-rust?variant=31399920566352#qamp-a_i1- Art Vandelay

Good Ospho (phosphoric) and epoxy Test
Don’t know if anyone has seen this. Pretty good test and results, especially for those of us without the ability to blast every small part.- Art Vandelay

Floor and rocker options
You have to wonder if GM had originally designed the floor to curve up next to the kick panel would they have had such a rot prone area to begin with?- Art Vandelay

Floor and rocker options
Huck I see your point about the front floor half especially since the side bends down like the original floor. However the rot always seems to creep further back toward seat and toward hump and those don’t have enough metal.- Art Vandelay

With both I sanded down and hit with Rust Kutter (works great) then one I primed with SW Fastline which was not good so reprimed with SEM metal etch and topped with Seymour Stainless other did all same prep but tried Rustoleum Clean Metal primer and it took almost 4 coats to...- Art Vandelay

Cab repair stabilizing
Cab is currently on a rotisserie (which is awesome). I will begin the cutting and replacement of floor, rockers and kick panels (one side at a time). Looking for advice on stabilizing cab to keep square. Was thinking of using boat stands with the cab still on rotisserie to keep level or putting...- Art Vandelay

Med -Duty Cluster
So I came a across a cluster with the combined 5k RPM tach and gas gauge on right and with Oil, Temp(100-250) , Vac and Amp. So correct me if I'm wrong but this would be from a Med-duty truck and be pre76 because its an amp not volt? Big question is would this be in easy swap out for my 76?- Art Vandelay

Painting the gas tanks
Was going to go Doppleganger’s route and bed line the bottom but top came out looking so good with Seymour stainless might just stick with that. Finish is a little grainy in some areas but don’t know if I’ll sand and reapply.- Art Vandelay
