landman Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) What appears to be a crossover pipe is missing, so I made one. What is this filter and where do the lines to and from it go?

Bennyg Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Wow! This is turning out great. I don't know about that filter. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted April 21, 2018 Author Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Oh, it was the old filter cartridge, before spin-ons. The B-model used a similar one, but it sat lower. This guy had one like on mine (see image), which sat a LOT higher. Not an issue under an R hood, but kinda "unique" on a B! The above quote is from a discussion on BigMackTrucks.com . It is the old canister type. Edited October 31, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landman Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Wheels are on. this was to be the one where I would attempt air brake plumbing. I studied all the sketches and postings but it was the valves that stumped me. Yesterday, I found out that KFS will be issuing some later this year. So I'll wait until the next truck.

landman Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Thanks Brian. Primed the cab and realized that pieces I thought were running boards were in fact inner fenders. Installed them breaking the windshield center post in the process. Fixed that. Now I will need some advice. The cab will be grey with black fenders and a green interior. In which sequence should I proceed? Edited October 31, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Looking great!! I personally would spray the interior first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I usually spray the interior first, let it dry fully, and then some, and then mask off the whole interior for the two tone paint. I USUALLY would paint the gray first, and then the black, just because the black is easier to get marks on when masking it, so I would do the gray first, then the black.

landman Posted May 21, 2018 Author Share Posted May 21, 2018 (edited) Looks like I've done everything backwards. Wouldn't be the first time. Interior is next. I don't have a gray light enough. So it'll go on last...when I find it. Edited October 31, 2020 by landman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 There is no backwards, as long as it works for you! Looks great by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redneckrigger Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Be careful masking especially to a painted edge....................it will sometimes lift the edge when unmasking. I usually paint the first color without masking it off. Then I let it dry, dry, dry, mask it off, hit the oversprayed area with more primer, and then paint the second color. Again, just personal preference, but in my case, the way I used to do it when I painted the full size stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped to make the joint in there then touch it up with black after. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Man I hate that about your paint! I'm sure you'll get it straightened out. Out of curiosity, you didn't happen to be using Rustoleum in a spray can were you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the only grey light enough I could find locally. it worked well on the spoon and decided to spew grit on the model. I'll do more testing before using it again on the model.

The only reason that I asked is that I had the exact same result with Rustoleum red. It worked well on metal, but it had the exact same result on a plastic model. I had used lacquer primer as well. I will now add Premier to the list of paints that I avoid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian, this wasn't wrinkling or lifting, it was like it shot powder for an instant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
