landman Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Got paint on the bottom half. Sorry Anthony, my can of beige acted up. The masking tape took some of the primer with it. Now I am scared of masking the bottom half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you know the trick, but if you take the tape and stick it on another clean surface first it will reduce its tack. That’s what I do if I have to tape over a nice paint job. It’s always worked for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hoping to get some bench time this weekend. Since classes have began it has been crazy. They said my Masters would be worth it though... Side note: anyone know a place who prints quality water slide decals? Custom ones that is.. or if someone would be willing to help me out, I wouldn’t mind helping them out!

landman Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Well.... I got some peel. In three locations. I'll let it really harden before I do anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 8, 2019 Author Share Posted February 8, 2019 A lot of this is how long the paint has had to cure and what tape you are using. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel your pain! I'm having the same issue. I washed the Westfalia before and after cleaning up mold marks and then primed it in white. When I masked to paint the window trim, guess what? The primer peeled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had him do some Porsche decals for me and they came out really well. I think it was less than $20 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no choice but making them come out in front of the wheels à la AAR. Straightened out the panhard rod. Nice chassis work Pat!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty92 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Progress has been slow but tonight I came close to finalizing the cross member and coil spring mounts on the frame. Narrowed the Dana 30s a bit more. The interior is a bit bland. I plan on adding a projector so the co pilot can look at traffic updates and other news on a big screen on one side of the van. A cot, and probably a small fridge for food. Since this is a news van I plan on disguising some proprietary radar equipment on top as broadcasting equipment! The biggest win here is: it will sit at about what a stock V-Drive equipped van would have. A huge victory for me as I wanted this to look stock! I’m hoping to have the front end done this next weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426 pack Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I finally got some work done on my van today. This will be close to the final ride height. I ordered one of the mpc daunts monster truck kits for the Rockwell axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
