Projects Binga,s f100 pickup build thread

Very neat project. Thanks for keeping us updated.

 

Sure has just stirring binga up the front has already been dropped since this pic the he is hanging out to drop the arse this old bastard is just about to hit 50 but thinks he's 18 hahahaha

 

jeez i hate lining up panels spent most of this weekend lining up the panels on my tonner, got the doors good then when i moved onto the guards i realised the whole front end has been pushed to the drivers side so i just got the bonnet to close properly and called it a day... (its only a hack to drive around an chase parts ne way). effies lookin sweet BTW, cant wait to see colour

 

Thanks for all the comments, yes even yours Scott

 

i love the way australians think!!!!!!

 

binga,s still hard at it

 

Next time instead of drinking beer maybe you could help.

Oh that's right you don't like to get dirty.

 

So after making sure everything was going to fit and line up properly we tore it all back down again.

Chassis going off to get blasted





While the chassis was at the blasters I coated under the floor with body deadener.



Put some on the inside of the roof too.

 

Once we got the chassis back from the blasters I painted it with GMH chassis black.





Then we put the cab back on the chassis and started the rubbing, primer, rubbing ritual before we could get some color on this thing.

 

Binga still hard at it

 

After I finished all the rubbing down it was time to paint the firewall, inside the door jams and all of the interior sheet metal.
So here is a little bit of a sneek peak at what the final color will be.

Before clear



after clear



Firewall



Dash with clear

 

I'm liking that A LOT! Is it tiger mica?

 

lookin good, this thing'll be out cruzin' in no time.

BTW scotty, love the new avatar pic. but it'd be hard to take a bad pic of that car.

 

Tiger mica is alot lighter and more gold in color.
I'm not sure what the color is as I bought some miss tinted color from a mate and then had some more color matched then added the two together.
I must say that I'm liking how it's coming out though.

Whatever the colour is, it's looking great so far!

And yours is already low!!

 

some of the pics make it look sort of orange and in the others it looks really gold. has it got a bit of pearl or something in it or is the camera just playin tricks?

 

Thanks but I want to get it a lot lower.

It's got a lot of flop in it which I think is caused by the pearl and the light in the shed I'm using.

yeah the right light makes all the difference. i used to have a HZ that looked bright orange at night under the street lights and red in the sunlight, took the guy at the paint shop 2 weeks to match some paint for it

 

Haha it's a never ending quest with an effy!

 

Great progress Binga..... I love that colour. It's gonna Really POP in the Sunlight.

It's good you got Scotty there with his creative photography. It really makes it enjoyable to look through your post.

 

Scotty gets to take all the good shots while I work and I take the boring shots to show what I got done..........

 

With that gold pearl in the paint Jim she sure will pop

 

Nice work boys - lookin good !!

Are ya'all freezing your sorry asses off in the shed out Ballarat way?

Rat

 

My '55 F100 looks to be exactly that colour - and it's Honda 'Gilt' metallic from the 80's.

 

I've an HZ in my F100 - what coils did you use??

 

Gotta keep plenty of wood in the fire to keep the shed warm enough to work in.
Sometimes it seems like we're doing more wood cutting than car building.

Haven't got a clue what coils I'm using they came with the front end and I don't know what model Holden it came out of.
I bought it from a mate who had a few front ends laying around his yard from cars he had wrecked out over the years he didn't know what it was from.

 

That colour is really nice!

Solid work fellas.

HC.

 

Thanks, with a bit of luck and some good weather I should have it completely painted soon.
