Machspeed Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Yep, that would give you a vibe, and it wouldn't be a good one. Glad you got it fixed. Sanded and sanded and sanded. This was a nasty job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only imagine how rough it was up at the firewall with your head under the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salans7 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Oh my gosh John! 😮 Your floor looked so good before. I can only imagine how rough it was up at the firewall with your head under the dash. That looks like a ton of work John! I'm trying to avoid walking through that briar patch. A previous owner bed-lined the floor of my truck, but they sprayed it right over the factory sound deadening, and whatever they used is very thin. I scraped all of the sound deadening out, so now half the floor is bed-lined and the rest is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd use stripper and a scrub brush on something with as many valleys and nooks as a truck floor long before I went through 50 Roloc discs and a few wire brushes on the grinder. But John has got it done! And I look forward to seeing how the lizard skin turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Wow, that was   Today I did a little "body work" on my passenger door to block the primer and get a coat of paint over it before it soaks up salt.I also dug into my cluster.Swapping Huck's back shell and flex circuit for mine.I repainted my needles the right way, sanding the faded paint off the back side.I couldn't use the dried out HiPo paint but got a small bottle of Testors at Michaels.I also modified the circuit, removing the 20 ohm resistor and installing a jumper.You can see the difference from an '87 board.

ArdWrknTrk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Looks better than mine :) Thank you both! I'm not sure why Ford decided they should turn the oil pressure gauge into another idiot light, there's already a warning lamp that comes on at 5 psi.
