- In this video, I will be finish sanding the inside and outside of the Driver's side of the Tub and get it into Epoxy Primer. Today, I will be using Eastwood's Epoxy Primer through a Devilbiss StartingLine paint gun. I tried to add as many footnotes throughout the video to provide the details of items that I am using.

Your videos have guided me through the entirety of my 79 cj7 project. Couldn’t be more thankful for all of your help. I’m getting ready to prime and then begin the body work for the tub of my jeep. Hope your project is going well
Glad you found the content helpful. My tub is still on its side and I am prepping to get it in final Epoxy and Bed Liner. Cheers to you and your project! Mike
Absolutely love your videos! Picked up my first CJ 7 a few days ago, 1979.
Your going to love your Jeep! So much fun and easy to work on. Just moved a few things around so that I can get back to working on mine. Cheers! Mike
Great to see ya back man!
The progress is real. Cheers and thanks for following along. Mike
Recently I've started working on getting my late father's 1982 Scrambler running and your videos have been an inspiration. Thank you for the time you've put into these and I look forward to the end result!
Thank you for the kind words. I am getting close to begin more work on mine. Best of luck and have fun with yours. Mike!
Glad your back. Congrats to your son and future daughter-in-law. Cant wait to see the Jeep moving along. The car will be exciting too.
Thank you very much. Glad to be able to start working on these projects. Cheers to you Brad... Mike
When I sprayed primer on my CJ I built a paint booth out of PVC pipe and big plastic sheets. It worked pretty well. I'm planning on rebuilding the paint booth when I do my final paint.
A PVC Tent might work for me. My biggest issue is that my Air Compressor is in the same room and the cooling fan blows towards the work area. Think the wife would mind if I moved it to her laundry room?
I started watching 4 years ago and now have multiple projects
Many thanks for following along. Cheers and have fun with your projects. Mike
Good to see you Mike! I think we all understand about being away...life always seems to find ways of extending your schedule. I had "planned" to have the LS motor into my SRX by now but life got in the way and I only have the old motor out. But, I still do go back and rewatch your LS build videos for not only knowledge transfer but also inspiration. Greatly appreciate all you do!!
Much appreciated message. Thank you! These projects are very patient. They just sit around and wait for us to nudge them a little. Cheers and keep at it! Mike
LOL, I have been following Project Rowdy for some time as I am in the process of doing the same thing to a 1979 CJ7. You did pretty much everything I have needed to do on the Jeep as mine was a rust bucket frame rails out. I still have a lot of work to do but it is getting there. I am in the process of fabricating the driver's side Quarter panel right now as the Jeep was in a wreck and it was hit and screwed up pretty bad. I am trying to salvage the top rail since recreating the bends would be a big job to tackle. I had to comment when you brought up the 1968 Camaro, I am also doing a frame off restomod of my 1969 SS Chevelle. That is just to much of a coincidence. :) Good luck on the Camaro as well as finishing the CJ.
Cheers
Eddie
Two men with the same passions. My Jeep project started off as.... " Just fix and replace what is bad or broken". The more I fix, the more some of the "iffy" parts have to go. Wondering if ordering the whole Jeep as parts off the internet wouldn't have been faster. Hell, I'm still slowly tearing things down and it's been 4 years!
Well, it is worth saving these ole things. They are tons of fun. Bought mine in 1988.
Looking forward to a little change of pace with the Camaro and some simple updates.
Cheers to you as well! Mike
Mike, so good to see you and an update on Rowdy. Congrats to your son and his fiancee. Looking forward to seeing some updates on the Mistress as well
Today, I am one step further along than the previous day. Cheers to you Russ
Man it makes me happy to see another video in this series. Thank you.
Cheers and thank you for the great message. Mike
Golly! Stunning body work!!
I appreciate the kinds words. Cheers Mike!
great video Mike ,your vids are so informative still buying spares but getting near to sanding filling doors wings etc. so thanks for your timing , as followed all your advice on sealing areas, would have easily missed without your help , got right hand 1969 so sometimes feel i got it wrong but getting there, thanks again from here over the pond in the UK
I think this YT thing is way too cool. That we can all share information even with a big pond between us! Thank you for your message. Spent a week in the UK back in 1995 and really enjoyed it. Cheers and as always.... Mind the Gap! Mike
Mike it's great to see you and it again. Can't wait to see Rowdy completed and your new projects. Have been worried, because it's been a while. Hope everything is going well with you and your family and keep the videos coming. Your channel is one of my favorites.
I greatly appreciate the compliment Richard. Thanks for following along. Cheers to you Sir! Mike
I absolutely love watching your videos. It had been a while since I'd see a new one. Glad to see you filming again.
Thank you! It is a lot of fun. There are many more to come. Bought many parts and planning next steps. Cheers and thanks for the feedback!!!! Mike
I was going through difficult times recently and your videos really helped me get through them. Please keep the videos up I'm going to swap an LS in an E66 BMW soon.
Glad you are enjoying the videos! Have fun with your E66 project. Mike
A monster project. Congrats with all the progress. Can't wait to see it complete.
Thank you Adam! Cheer to you Sir!
Great to see you back Mike. I was praying that COVID didn’t get you. So glad you are doing well. One thing a painter friend of mine taught me was to always start spraying a body panel down low and move up the vehicle. This way your overspray will land in the wetted paint you just sprayed and get absorbed. If you start high and move down, your overspray has time to flash out and create more orange peel.
Glad that your still following along. Thanks for that tip. That is very logical and some great advice. Makes a lot of sense. Cheers! Mike
Good to see You
As my Father in Law would respond.... Better to be seen than viewed! Cheers and thanks for following along! Mike
Love your videos. I picked up a 83 CJ7 a few months ago that has more rust than yours. I’ve been watching and rewatching your videos to get a great understanding of what and how to get this done. Your videos are amazing. Thank you so much for all the details and great commentary.
Thank you for the complement and glad you have found some useful information. I am trying to organize this, some help to get my Tub off the frame so that I can continue. Cheers to you and have fun with your project. These are really fun and easy to work on. Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike I know I will have to remove mine at some point. Not looking forward to that. Definitely want to see how your LS swap turns out. Would like to do the same in the future. Mine came with a mopar upgraded EFI on the 258, with a five speed. PO installed a 4” lift with ARB lockers in the front and rear. Just has so much rust. Taking out the drivers side seat belt took part of the floor and roll cage with the nut.
@@christx68 I removed the body mount bolts last week and rust fell out. I am not looking forward to turning the tub over. I have a local subscriber that took me for a ride in his CJ with a 6.0 swap and it got me on track again. Cheers!
Hey thanks for the mention!
I remember when I first saw your tip jig and thought it was a great idea and easy/cheap to build. I placed a link to your video in my description section so that viewers can find the inspiration. Thanks John! Mike
man o man i just started watching your build, keep up the good work, i know as time permits.
Many many thanks for the support! I will be getting back on it soon many new parts have arrived. Cheers!!!! Mike
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Cheers Mike
I saw another TH-camr use a harbor freight portable garage/tent for a paint booth in his driveway.he seem to have decent results. He was also an experienced painter the same confident in the process using the tent. I have one I use to work on my Jeep and I'm just a step behind you here. I bought another to use just for paint and plan on using just a plain blue tarp floor. Something to consider.
Love your content and have been fallowing for some time.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll have to check into whether the tent idea will work with my space. Great to hear that you are progressing on your Jeep as well. Someone has to show these ole beauties some love. Cheers and thanks for following along. Mike
You’re back!!!! Happy to see you again with the progress
Progress is real! Thanks for following along. Cheers! Mike
Nice job on that cowl section! Keep the videos coming.
Thank you Sir! Cheers Mike
i somewhat stopped watching your feed after the LS material was completed, very much enjoyed your narrative on the subject..... noticed that you are now in the body restoration part now, I have never been a big fan of Eastwood paint products, I have been in the automotive refinishing trade for years, and for the home hobbyist, you may want to look into Southern Polyurethane products. Their epoxy primers are very user friendly and in line with top manufacturers for quality without the price if you are not able to get the usual volume discount. Their clears are also top notch as well. As for doing your final painting of Rowdy, I am not aware of your surrounding, but what I now do for home spraying in decent weather (decent temp and no rain in the forecast) is to purchase a temporary Garage structure (10x20)) for a couple hundred $$$ and on the one end cutting an opening in the panel and attaching a 36" fan with furnace filters fitted to the outside and pointing it such that the tent is positive pressure. the amount of dust is kept to a minimum and the little that is there is very easily cut and buffed out..... just a thought, but it really depends on your surroundings, not something that is really acceptable if one is living in a subdivision, unless your neighbors are gear heads
Thanks for the detailed response. Several of the channels that I follow use SPI and they appear to like it as well. When I run out of what I have, I will most likely give them a try. Not sure the Neighbors will go for a popup tent. They complain when a car is parked in the grass. You know those type of people with nothing better to do than complain. Cheers Mike
Looking great! Nothing excites me more than seeing a new video pop up from you. You were the biggest motivator to go ahead and LS swap my CJ. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the Mistress getting some love.
P.S. Congratulations to your son and his beautiful fiance. Best wishes to them both.
Love everything about your comment. Thank you very much. Awesome that you too are a trustee to one of these incredible CJs !!!! Cheers and have fun with yours!!! Mike
Mike, looks great! Haul Rowdy up to NE Ohio and we’ll get it painted! Couple things I noticed, I use the same gun for my primer, leave the air on continuously so the primer doesn’t build up on the tip. -this will be much more important with the 2k high-build. If you go with the Raptor Liner (like I did) you can use my applicator gun. Just let me know. Last thing, I used 2 different cleaners for the body before painting. 1st wax and grease, 2nd stuff is called “final-wipe”. Then finally with a tack cloth. Again, glad to see you back man!
Bob... If you were closer, I would take you up on that offer and if things get slow around here, I am always up for a road trip! I believe that most of my problem is that my Air Compressor is in the same room and when it kicks on, it blows dust. I blew it off and tried to clean up around it but not much luck. Thanks for the reminder on keeping the air going, I know to do that, but forget to do it. I'll make a note an put it with my equipment to remind me. I believe I am going with Raptor Liner. I might take you up on barrowing your gun. Let me look into pricing and kit availability. What is the name of your Wax and Grease remover? Cheers and thanks for sharing your Jeep project on TH-cam. I really enjoyed following your project and added many notes to my OneNote log based on your experiences. Mike
Great to see a video from here! Looking good Mike!
Great to hear from you again. Cheers! Mike
Great to see an update from you Mike! I got my 6.0/t177/Dana 300 swap done in January of last year and have been enjoying the (re)tuning aspects of it since. Having 400+ ft-lb on tap is a real trip in a short wheelbase CJ. I need to stop by your place soon to catch up!
(Also have a couple other CJ projects to work on nowadays too...) Congrats and best wishes to Spencer and his bride-to-be!
Dang you're fast on that swap. Would love to chat about it anytime! Stay safe and keep that Blue baby between the lines. Cheers Mike
Mike, glad your back..... been a while. Rowdy looking good.
Thank you Chris. Hard to believe that I am this far in and still in the teardown stage. One byte at a time.... Mike
Been waiting for an update!!! Glad to see you're back at it!
Thank you Sir! Slowly plugging away at it! Cheers
Glad to see a new video, I’ve been following this project for the past few years. I was starting to worry since you hadn’t posted new videos in while. Glad you see your well, n very glad to see this video!👍 love the video’s, and all the sharing of your knowledge you have and your research, very much appreciated!
Many thanks for the feedback. Glad that you are still following along. Cheers to you! Mike
Looking good. Full bunny suit should be used.. paint is toxic. 1.8 tip on primer paint will flow better. Filter cartridges in plastic bags between use. Don't wimp out on painting top coat and clear, your prep is very good, your results will be the same...Cheers.
Thanks for the feedback. Mike
Welcome back! Glad to see your doing well and great progress on the Jeep! I have a nice paint gun if you wanna borrow it for the paint and clear
Thank you! I don't think it's the gun. I need to move the Air compressor out of the room. Cheers and thanks for following along!!!! Mike
You should start a Patreon account so we can all fund this build. It might fix your day job problem and get you back to building. Just an idea.
Now that's funny!!!! Cheers... Last weekend, I cleared some space and plan to yank the tub and get back on it! I'll be sure to fire up the camera. Thank you for the nod... Cheers to you! Mike
Mike, glad to see you back. Love the Camaro. 67 is one of my dream car. Cant wait to see Roudy progress. We have the same issue with painting. Looks lije your have a weight loss. Share your secret.
My first car was a 1974 Toyota Celica. If you look up a photo of one you will see that it is Japan's version of the 67-68 Camaro. Always wanted one and finally pulled the trigger. Weightloss??? I spent an extra 40 minutes during the editing of this video to crop all the shots of my belly... LOL Cheers and thanks for following along. It means a great deal to me! Mike
Nice to see another video! Your son must be a pilot? I'm an aircraft mechanic by trade and pilot for fun.
Many thanks for the compliment. Spencer just received his CFII and starts next week as a Flight Instructor for the local Flight School. He fascinates me with his knowledge and passion. His long term goal is to become a pilot for Delta.... time to build some hours... Thanks again... Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Awesome! Good luck to him, aviation is alot of fun and filled with good people.
I love the raptor liner I put in my cj it was easy to do as well
I think I may go that route. Can you give me an estimate on how many cans would it take to just do the bottom of the tub. I plan to do more than that but can use that as a starting point for estimating. Thanks.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike on the complete inside on my tub I used 3 cans at 60 psi which is a little bit of a rougher more texture than most people do. They come in a kit with the gun and 4 cans for like $140 I would start out with that. If you think you would need more I could buy 2 kits I mean it’s not too too expensive. But I’m pretty sure you can buy individual bottles.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike this is an actual gun and bottles you spray with an air compressor so you can adjust the your psi to how ruff or less ruff if a texture you want.
Excellent. Thanks for the estimate and I think I will buy the kit with gun and 4 bottles to start. I plan to do the tub bottom and tub top. Cheers. Mike!
@@coltonthompson1844 Yes... I have seen that kit. I appreciate the info on the coverage. I'll start with the 4 bottle/gun kit and add more bottles as need to cover the other areas that I plan to be textured. Thanks again!
I first started following you when you were doing the LT1 Swap. At that time I was planning on putting an LS in my 37 Chev PU. Well. my cousn's son found a pristine 2014 Silverado, low mileage with a 6L80E transmission and thought it would be a nice drivetrain for my truck (the truck was originally his grandparents). Well I have it and I"m finding that an LT1 is very differnt than an LS. No power steering pump. Vacuum is by a belt driven pump. It's direct injection and there are no guieds for rewiring the harness. And even if I could, there is no rooom in the engine compartment for the computer. SO I'll probably go to someone like SPEARTECH for a custom harness. I can get a PS pump and mounts for around $500. Overall, it's going to be an expensive engine to get operational.
That is going to be a fantastic ride when you get done with it. You'll never look back. Have fun with it! Mike
Sweet! Now put it back together and tell everyone it's Nardo gray. lol Good job, Mike!
The funniest part of this comment is that when the boys showed up after I finished. One said to the other, "Maybe we should leave it this color... it look like Nardo Gray". Nardo Gray with some darker gray accents would look killer! Just saying... Cheers! Mike
Thrilled to see you back. I'm going to be trying Eastwood roll on primer on my 57 Chevy so similar products. I'm wondering about your concern on the short strand fiber body filler would a sealer prior to epoxy primer have covered different? My Jeep will get work after the Chevy gets primer.
Would like to know how the Roll-on primer works for you. I assume that it it self leveling. For my primer situation, that is the second time that I have applied it over metal and SSF ending with the same result. I feel confident that now that I have a consistent coat of primer on it, that future coats will hide it all. As I mentioned, there is a little bit of normal body filler that needs to be applied and then a few coats of a high build. The High Build should cover it well.
Cheers and many thanks for following along. Mike
Mike I will be emailing you with questions when I get to this point.
Saw and responded to your Email. Cheers!
Build a 6.0 LS with 799 or 243 heads for the Camaro with a sloppy stage 2 cam you can do a carb setup with the msd 6014 box so you don’t need the pcm and you can get a knock sencer delete there’s a lot you can do
I painted my Civic in a very dirty garage. I ended up cleaning half and moving a lot of junk outside. Then I taped over the dirty half with that huge plastic the pro's mask cars with. I used a big round fan from the hardware store for exhaust and furnace filters for intake and sprayed away. Not too many issures really.
I just afraid of the trash in the paint and overspray on everything in the garage. Still contemplating. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Yes. I have a very short vid called 'Civic Painted Good Grief' in my vids. Not a big channel really..... 1:53
@@67polara I went and watched it. It did turn out very nice.
I’m so happy to see you back working on the jeep!!, are you putting in a efi fuel pump tank in the camaro?
Glad you are still following along. Yes. The Camaro will get an LS upgrade some day. The new fuel tank will be to support that. I will install an EFI fuel tank, but retrofit it with a sending unit and a suction tube. When the new engine goes in, I will change out the suction tube with an in-tank fuel pump. Cheers!!! Mike
Hey Mike! How is "The Mistress" coming? We need more videos bro!
Also, you mentioned adhesion. Does the Eastwood call for 400 grit? That sounds kinda fine for bare metal.
For prep, I use Sprayway glass cleaner, possible acetone if greasy, then always final clean with PPG H2OSoClean W&G remover.
My son and are currently trying to uncover a gremlin in the headlight circuit. Been screwing with it for 3 hours. Believe we have it nailed down and plan to bypass original wiring. His wedding is this weekend and he wants to drive away in it. Have several videos on it that I need to edit and post. Cheers.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Good luck! Have a great time at the ceremony
Thanks for the post. I have a 93 YJ and have the same issue with the cowl/pillar or whatever its called. Did you do a video on it or photos on how you did it? The part that's rotting out is below the windshield and I was thinking I could just cut out that part and weld in new metal. There is seam sealer on that seam on mine. I have a rubber gasket where the hood mated up with the cowl. I will be looking under it when I get a few minutes.
Sorry about the late reply. If you are talking about the joint that I replaced under the dash where the Cowl meets the lower windshield panel.... I did not video that work. I did fabricate all of the parts from flat sheet metal. It gave me a reason to purchase a Shrinker and Stretcher tool. On the outside, I have to replace a 1" section of the Cowl and 1" section of the lower windshield frame. I made that out of 2" wide sheet metal. Bent it in half and then stretched the Frame side to obtain the curvature of the cowl, then I had to Shrunk the cowl side to bring it back flat with the frame. By making this out of one piece, I was able to create a very strong joint. I believe I also added a small strip of metal to the inside of this seam. Very pleased with how it came out. Hope this helps! Mike
Eastwood has a spray that will stop that flash rust. How's that electric orbital sander?
Enjoy watching your progress! I just got a new '79 CJ7 "project" and will be doing a 'tub off' restoration. It sat in a field for 15+ years so I have got some work ahead of me, especially tackling some body rust.. What gage of metal are you using for the body patches? Thanks!
Love it! I am using 18 Gauge. As I need more, I pickup a "cutoff" piece at my local supplier for cheep. So many of the surfaces on these tubs are straight, so making replacements yourself is not very hard and very rewarding. Welcome to the club and I hope you enjoy your project. My next step is to remove the tub from the frame so that I can cleanup and coat the bottom surface.
Cheers to you Jason! Mike
@@UCanDoIt2Mike Thanks Mike!
How are you sanding to remove the flash rust? Are you using a sander or just a hand block?
My flash rust was on surfaces that had previously been sanded smooth. I was able to hit it with 320 on an orbital sander and it came right up.
If I had found anything deeper, I would have tried wire brushing and then hit is with Eastwood’s Rust Inhibitor.
Hey Pardner. What did you end up figuring out for the indentions all over the place from the spot welds. Did you use fiberglass or bondo for those?
For mine, a little of both. I had cleaned all the paint out of the intentions. Many of them were treated with Short Strand Fiberglass. As a base coat. That was to get me close to a final finish. The tub is still in primer as I have some work to do on the bottom which might include a a little welding. Once the bottom is done, it will get a final coat of Bedliner . I’m thinking the bottom welding may affect the top and sides some, that is why I did not take them to a finished state. Then I will return to the top and outer surfaces. Will finish it up with extremely thin coat of body filler.
@@UCanDoIt2Mike man I could use a conversation at some point if you're open to that. My step son is helping/doing most of the work. I was a USAF firefighter but broke my back in the line of duty. Only so much I can actually do without really paying for it. While he can just about do anything with cars, we don't have a welder and the preferred set up. Working in the garage on it. Because of that I'm ordering replacement parts and have the OMIX tub, right fender, and tailgate. After the left fender and windshield frame next. You're insight and experience could be pretty helpful. Thanks for ALL your doing..let me know.
Dang its been a year since the last video
Isn't that crazy. I noticed the same thing when I uploaded this one tonight. Cheers!
