Shop and paint booth are finally finished, truck moved out of the garage and into the shop and I am back working on it (this took much longer then I ever expected, but it is going to be nice).
Few pictures of the semi-downdraft paint booth:
Exhaust filters in front wall
Intake filters is rear ceiling
Recessed wall lights behind glass
24" Tube-axial exhaust fan
Outside of booth front wall, exhaust ducting/mixing bench
Front wall of work bays
Front wall of work bays
I then designed and built a metal roller to roll some angle iron for the paint booth ducting and the square tubing needed for the tonneau cover.
One of the completed rails for the tonneau cover
The original tonneau cover frame
Modified tonneau cover frame for louvers
Modified frame and louvered panel primed.
Tonneau cover panel tack welded in place. It rolled very smooth with no buckling at the louvers.
First paint job out of the booth. I built it for my daughter for Xmas and gave it a lace paint job (fabricated everything except the door).
2nd paint job 2 days later (7 degrees outside and no issues keeping the booth warm). Shell for my truck.
Sorry for the long post, but I think I am all caught up now and will try to post more regularly. Also, did'nt want anyone to think I have just been slacking off.
