xvi00 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Someone please put your hand up and buy this great piece of history, are you allowed to do a BRE colour scheme, is there any copy right issues doing that. OR some of the European car colours look pretty good. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Vic and I been away at the L.A. swap meet, and got back to a ton of work finished. Bummed I didn't get pics, but pretty happy about what got finished. The 2 is to remind us this door is ready for resanding at the 2in stage (240) instead of 320 Look real close and you can see that the jambs of the door have been completely sand blasted and are ready for paint. Sand blasted gas door, and all the hinges also :) New fiber glass front apron one of the last 2 that David Pare had made over a year ago. While we were away we picked up the needed rubber to finish the project Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 More stripping and cleaning floors that is. Tomorrow is time for seam sealer and floor paint Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Please take lots of pictures of the floors when you do them tomorrow! I'm at this stage and I'm interested how you do it. Looks like you removed lots of surface rust on the floors! Do you put new seam sealer then paint over the top? I'll wait and watch. Good work! Quote Link to comment
jobes Posted March 19, 2013 Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks for the photos!! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I'm over looking everything, but I not always here, so pics are far and few between. Seam sealed the areas that had been seam sealed from the factory Had to weld in a couple patch panels, one on the drivers floor and one in the trunk Panels are blocked out and ready for there last primer coat Quote Link to comment
DatWifey Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 What was the floor coated with? Is it just paint, or something along the lines of POR15? Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Seems to work great And the sanding continues Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Moving along Cleaning and sanding the inside of the hood, 1st degrease the inside of the hood with super clean or ?, 2nd Scuff with scotch bright and lacquer thinner. Then remove unwanted hood brace (this car has a NapZ 2400, the air cleaner hits this area of the brace) Glue the front edge of the hood back into place, we use a 2 part panel bond. Seems this area on hoods lately is pulled apart about an inch and needs to be re-glued. Once glue is set, sand interior of hood with 320 on a DA sander We need to paint the hood and trunk lid interiors so we figured we would paint the interior area of the quarter panel also Once ready for sealer, wax and grease remove complete areas, and seam seal. then spray a even coat of epoxy sealer Very nice 2 coats of your favorite color, yeah you could spray 3. But this area will never see light or weather. Done, Time spent 12 hours Quote Link to comment
