WHAT COLOR SHOULD IT BE? Sand Blasting BODY & PAINT!!! COE Ramp Truck EP-34

[@davidbutcher1105]

Next time you are seam sealing, I would recommend trying to get ahold of Sikaflex-221. It's a polyurethane sealer/adhesive we use on locomotives and it is waaayyyy tougher than silicone and could glue your panels to their frames. Seriously. Just don't try to smooth it out with water. That ended very poorly. Sikaflex-221a is cheaper (it's construction grade) and my old man sealed the oil pan on my racecar with it. So it handles heat and abuse.

[@MakeItKustom]

No way! That stuff sounds magic!

[@mk1jack]

It’s the one!

[@davidbutcher1105]

@MakeItKustom it's pretty awesome. Though our engineers tend to think it's the solution for everything, including thread sealant. It's a negative 7000/10 in that department. Panel removal can be a problem because it's so tough, but as a sealant for rough service, I highly recommend it.

[@liamunderwood3115]

Soapy water in a spray bottle and your finger to make it smooth. Works real well just have a heap of rags and a bin with in reach, It will still get everywhere though lol

[@davidbutcher1105]

@liamunderwood3115 well the polyurethane seems to cure with water exposure, so maybe the soap would help, but I can tell you just using water turns the surface of your bead into a balled up mess of crap. We use brake-cleans or alcohol for tooling and cleanup.

[@lawncuttingplusdelta]

Awesome truck … my buddy gavin works in the boiler industry and he takes his stuff to all pro blasting also … they are super reasonable …. I hope to visit you one day , i live in delta and mom lives in langley area 👍🏻💪🏻

[@alcyr5655]

Brought back memories from early "80s. I was mid teens, dad had some how swung a deal with a welding shop to allow us to sand blast the '57 D100 frame that had a '69 Fury front clip grafted on. They got me all suited up, and dad had to finish the job. It's not as fun as you might think.

[@KevinHalliburton]

It would be a budget killer for sure,, but I would love to see that bed airbrush tattooed with something to symbolize each of the people who helped on it. This rig is the epitome of the community you've built throughout your career, which is one of the things that makes your channel so awesome! You've introduced me to so many other builders since I started following your channel; thank you!

[@GypsyJvan]

thanks.. ..Black Art Forge..

[@souldog5575]

Blood red!!! Deep and rich like the Karl and El Eyo!

[@justdaron1520]

At least when you don't have audio you supply us with great music. 😀 Love the channel!

[@tetedur377]

Truth!

[@JohnMcClain-p9t]

Back in the 70's I was party to sandblasting and repainting aircraft tow tractors out in Kaneohe, Hawaii. We did it very much the same way on a similar scale. Spent a year on the job so I can appreciate the effort. We didn't have any music to go with it. Thanks for showing it off.

[@ReduxGarage]

When the montages come on, especially with Karl’s music selection, I like to play it back at 1.25 or 1.5 and jam to the tunes as I get into the work being shown. ❤

[@stuartfletcher2378]

What a great video . I was so suprised by the amount of paint ,( 14 gallons ) but it is a massive build and a huge framework that no one ever sees . Thank you for including us , Its been an educational trip and so much fun to watch , I'm always in the background learning as you explain each step thougherly , Stuart in Ontario ..

[@drhalifax]

I worked in video for over 25 years and I gotta say - audio was ALWAYS a pain in the a$$. Even just setting a phone somewhere and hitting REC gives you some kind of backup. Better than nothing, right? Love the channel! I've learned so much. Keep up the awesome work!

[@MakeItKustom]

Thanks man seems like once in a while I really screw up badddd

[@Jim-he4km]

I really liked the rendering!! Flat black pleez, I have that image burned into my brain. But it's your ride. I'm just watching 😁

[@raymondw7875]

Looks amazing! I suggest satin white for the cab with black trim to match the black bed.

[@jaybird4095]

The blue cab has grown on me!

[@briankinnear7461]

Great to see Elio. Tremendous job. Wow!! Being of a smaller stature sure helped on this job, getting around under the deck!! Look forward to the next one. Be safe and stay well.

[@MakeItKustom]

Yes indeed!

[@randywilliams2505]

@MakeitKustom Coconut Pearl w/a few light coats of transparent Pearl Gold. The color shift when the sun hits it is amazing. Some Gold Candy accents would look good too.

[@jpthedelawarebeeman6239]

Love watching and learning thank you - bought a Cleco Fastener Starter Kit to help with bringing back my 1942 Farmall M tractor back to like new condition. I plan on using it on some patch panels I want to make up to replace some rusty spots.

[@Goz-The-Greek]

Maybe down the road you and Brent can do a road trip like you planned on , I remember when you and you wife were in that little shop and you said you wanted something better,Well you did that,ha ha ha, Great to see she's finally coming to fruition and you can be proud. You two make a good team ,You both got a lot done here.

[@normanroberts6680]

Monumental undertaking. Time lapse was the way to go. Great job.

Truck looks great - I was a Firefighter for over 30 years in Ontario and since it started it’s life as one , my vote is RED

Hey Karl. Just saw a short video that someone made of you driving your custom truck, belching some good flames from the pipes. Nothing but amazing comments.

[@MakeItKustom]

I will check it out!

We have totally loved the ramp truck build. We live in Perth. Great stuff Carl. Excellent channel. Ellio is super too. We also follow Jordan too😊😊

[@MakeItKustom]

Amazing ! Thanks for the support!

[@winrampen1174]

My favourite paint is epoxy coal-tar. It is incredibly adhesive and hard - used on off-shore structures. Second more important comment: You need to put some sort of insulator under the deck (plastic tape?)and use stainless fasteners to avoid galvanic corrosion.

super musique et images bravo !! merci

For rounding over the sheets a pneumatic hammer with a rounding die is the ticket. Use it all the time here when there is a piece of tubing behind it.

[@dudeman971]

Hey just wondering, why in the description of this video does it say all professional sandblasting and painting at the address in Port Kells but I’ve been there before and it’s called PMS Painting LTD, not All Pro sandblasting and painting? I’ve given multiple jobs to PMS Painting and it wasn’t named All Professional sandblasting and painting. When did you guys become affiliated.

[@russtuff]

Regardless of color, I vote for a paint code from any manufacturer of the same vintage. I love seeing new paint in vintage paint codes.

Extreme amount of work guys! Super proud of ya'll.. hopefully your not burnt out. I know I'd be. Great job

[@scottwilliams5824]

To keep from warping the metal you lay 6 inch bead and then you go out 6 inches and you weld back towards the heat better chance of it staying flat, then you go out another 6 inches and weld back towards that bead.
