Boomerchevy66,
I am doing my truck by myself. I do wish I had some help... not because I need help but because sharing the project keeps a fella fueled I think. I'm thankful for this site and all the guys who help me along the way. GREAT bunch of fellas!
I'm taking my '59 completely apart, clutch screw by clutch screw... and yes, take LOTS of pictures and yes again, used baggies with a marker to label what the parts are and where they came from!
I get empty boxes from work to store the larger parts and the bagged items and label the boxes as to what part of the truck (Doors & Windows, Inside Cab etc.) the items are associated with. These are really working well for me.
Have fun with your project! Post your accomplishments on "what did you get done on your truck today" (It'll help keep you inspired).
Sandblasting... I borrowed a pressure blaster but my little compressor wouldn't push it. I later acquired a larger compressor and bought the siphon blaster set from HF. It works ok. The best sand came from Wal-Mart (less pebbles in it) but it's wet... you'll want to dry it out. Still, sift it with a screen.
For small parts I made a de-rust vat and it worked well.
I'm finishing up the doors now and I'm really beaming with pride of accomplishment over those.
I still have a ways to go but the light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger.
Good luck!
Jerry
