This is the tedious part, but the detail that makes the difference between a so-so job and a spectacular job. Good work EJ.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks George!! I find this kinda work quit gratifying in my old age!!☺

[@jameskretz4464]

You’re lucky it’s a Ford ... less letters to clean around than a Chevrolet !!! Great job Roadking !

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Jim!! Excellent point!!☺

[@regsparkes6507]

it's amazing that there's hardly any rust on that older tailgate, this is going to be a good one, when it's finished!

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! There's gotta be a good story behind that tailgate, nobody looks that good after 50 years!!☺

Nice shout out for Jim. Great guy.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! He deserves it, those scrapers are saving my ass on this truck!!☺

[@hughbrackett343]

At first glance I thought the thumbnail was a casket. That gives me an idea...

[@Tjousk]

Indeed

[@805ROADKING]

That's funny!! A few guys said the same thing!!☺

[@JSchrumm]

Tailgate casket lid for guys that have to stand on a box.

[@allenmckinney9533]

Me too. My boss says he's going to buy his own coffin and have it painted up in a Harley Davidson theme and just keep it in storage till his time.

[@butler386]

Great tips on striping. Still looks like a lot of work but when you will have something you will be very proud of. Great job and thanks for showing us all the techniques.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Bud!! We appreciate you watching!!☺

[@not2fast4u2c]

The little scraper works good ..I like the things made from the scotch brite pads ..I made some big ones for the drill and cleaned and shined a bunch of stuff

[@805ROADKING]

That little scraper has saved my ass a shitload of times, especially on this truck!!☺

[@RustyGlovebox]

The new paint will stick to that clean surface rock solid when you're done with the bodywork.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Buddy!! It's all in the prep work eh!!☺

[@jamesd4846]

Road King, when you run that air tool it reminds me of the dentist. However, your results are much better. So...you watch Old Car Alley. I love his current project. One of my older brothers used to own a 1966 Ford Galaxie and his car brings back many fond memories. I used to date in that car...I wish I could afford it when he is through with it. It will be like a brand new car. I can tell that when you are through with this '64 Ford pickup it will be pretty righteous, as well. I love watching real craftsmen at work. However, it does make me a bit envious.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Jim!! I enjoy watching Howie!! I'm amazed at the progress he's making as a One Man Show!!☺

[@WesleySnyder]

it hard to believe how fast that paint comes off. i think ill use your technique to get the paint off my Malibu's hood. thanx for the pro tip RK.

[@805ROADKING]

Good luck Bud!!☺

[@MattBrownbill]

I have seen a team of people strip a car very quickly using old hacksaw blades. Great work Roadking.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Matt!!☺

[@chriholt]

Tailgate’s looking good!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks alot Chris!!☺

[@johnwalker1351]

excellent work roadking

[@805ROADKING]

Thank you John!!☺

[@ScoutCrafter]

Sometimes when a panel is so pretty like yours you almost want to just clear coat it! =D Bare steel is so sweet! Great job King!

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Scout!! That would be cool to put a ScoutCrafter shine on it!! It probably wouldn't last more than a day with the sun shining before I got rear ended eh!!☺

[@nashguy207]

Good Job roadking and I agree with you i have never seen a body shop around here with a sand blaster of any kind.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bob!! They have a purpose but I try and avoid them as much as possible!! They do the job but make it a whole lot tougher!!☺

[@Elissaoui]

Wonderful dear friend ✌️

[@shartne]

Man you cleaned that up for sure.

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!!☺

[@357magdad]

I've had great success with your homemade scotch brite disc idea for the Dremel!

[@805ROADKING]

I've been using the Brown ones, they're 240-320 grit!! I bought some Tan pads to try, they're 120-150 grit, it the roughest 3M makes!! Them bitches are pretty expensive, cost me $55 for a box of 20!!☺

[@357magdad]

@@805ROADKING I "borrowed" some of that tan rough stuff from work - it is great but big $$$!

Wow looks great! Fun project

Great way to strip paint, and a very timely video for me. I’ll be starting the stripping on my 1950 F1 this weekend. New Sub. 👍 Tony B

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Tony!!☺

[@DriveShaftDrew]

thumbs up shared good progress

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Mate!! Good to see you!!☺

[@gatorsworld]

I had a Ford Galaxie 500 with the same color of the paint as that inner piece ....Nice job on that tailgate and It kinda reminds me that I`d have to do some work on it but hey....It`s winter up here so we have things on the back burner....CHEERS

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Gator!! That was a popular color back then!!☺

[@ranchero302me]

At first glance I was like is this a casket lol then I decided to read lmoa. Yeeehawww looks good

[@sixtyfiveford]

I'm sure you know but that's a 67-72 tailgate. It's very clean. It's nearly impossible to find a 64-66 that's not completely rotted. The 6 year run vs 3 year run of the 64-66 also makes them harder to find.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah it will probably only be temporary!! The tailgate on my 65 F250 parts truck is pretty rough but I think we can save it!! I won't be tackling that till after this thing is finished!!☺

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

Yea, sand blasting is fine for the really big (truck frames) or the really small. (door hinges). Thin metal just makes more work. I can’t believe how nice that tailgate it to start with.

[@805ROADKING]

Yeah Buddy!! It has a purpose but I avoid it as much as possible☺

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

@@805ROADKING Yea, me too. It was just too hard on my air compressor.

[@planejet42]

I think you should try to splice in the old tailgate lettering. I think it's a pretty defining feature of the tailgate. I have a 1972 F100, and the replacement tailgate is the correct one for it, but I think the letter would look weird on a pre-1967.

[@805ROADKING]

Only a true Ford Guy would know, It will probably only be temporary The tailgate on my 65 parts truck has the block letters!! It needs alotta work but I think we can save it!!☺

[@georgelewis8904]

That goes along ok ,I sometimes use hot air gun as well, blowing hot air flow with the scraper

[@Mudmowerdiesel]

Awesome video thank you

[@OldCarAlley]

That tail gate cleaned up nice. I like the Scotch Bright on the Dremel. Are you using the cut off wheel thing, to hold the pad? Thats a great idea! I did scrape the edges of my fenders, but never thought to do that on the outer body. I had sand after scraping the edges... a Scotch Brightened Dremel sounds like a big time saver. Thank you for mentioning my channel. Howard

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Yeah it's a cut off wheel thingy with a small washer on the outside!! The brown and tan pads work and hold up the best plus a double pad!!☺

[@OldCarAlley]

@@805ROADKING I have a ton of brown scuff pads.... going to make some, to clean the fender edges, after I scrap them. Got the underside of the hood to clean up too, but thats not going down to bare steel. I am just going to clean it, and scuff it up, so the paint sticks.

[@majorpayne5289]

👍Good Stuff! Great idea w/Scotch Brite. Here from “Old Car Alley” mentioning you. Look forward to watching your vids. (SUBd) ✌️🇺🇸

[@805ROADKING]

Thanks Bud!! Howie is a good Guy!!☺

[@MadStiles]

You ain't kidding about the mess from sand blasting lol the bug everyday dumps a half pound of sand on the floor...

[@805ROADKING]

Wait till you paint it and all that shit comes out of all the crevices and lands all over the car!!☺

[@jmccracken491]

That light green is darn near Sea Foam color we has a 68 Falcon Sea Foam green.

[@805ROADKING]

It's probably the same color Mac!! They used the same color with different names from year to year and model (Ford, Mercury, Lincoln, and Trucks!!☺

[@twocvbloke]

A road drill could scrape even faster with the right end on it, though the metal may end up a wee bit warped... :P

[@805ROADKING]

WTF Mate, we had to look up "ROAD DRILL"!!☺

[@73superglide62]

No nap too day

[@805ROADKING]

Always time for a nap, it'll just be a ½ hour later!!☺

[@Lawnmower-os5pg]

I have to agree with you on the sandblasting I got a cheap one cause I thought it would be cool but I can’t stand getting it all down my clothes and in my hair then you gotta clean all that shit out of your parts I rarely use it anymore It’s probably only effective when done professionally on the whole car like you see on tv shows

[@805ROADKING]

It does have it's place, but I avoid it whenever possible!!☺

[@leemer1]

I was wondering, at the 16:45 part of the video that crevice you were working on from factory looks unfinished. Are you going to seam seal those crevices or body putty or weld them to clean up that seam so it doesnt look like two pieces of metal that overlap and have a gap?

[@805ROADKING]

It's funny you brought that up!! I mentioned in the next video that I've seen that area seam sealed on some trucks and not on some others, but you wouldn't know that because I didn't post the video yet!! I'll probably seam seal it, it gives it a cleaner finished look!! I did close that gap on the overlap a little and weld it from the side!!☺

[@JSchrumm]

Was that a bic lighter scraper? You were recording 2fast4me2see. ;)

[@805ROADKING]

HaHa!! Very Clever!!☺

[@Jim-ie6uf]

Why not some paint stripper?

[@805ROADKING]

Too messy, too smelly, too toxic, too time consuming, too expensive and it really doesn't work that well!! Then when you finish stripping it then ya gotta spend another ½ a day cleaning it!!☺

[@andrewbryan1036]

You should use paint stripper or sand blast together on letters and ducks and crannies
