scooter stuff Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Working on the hood... The first step was to run the hood through our metal Dipping service ( highly recommended!). http://metaldipping.com/ The next step was to straighten the metal and seal up the entire seam between the skin & inner support... For the seam sealer i used Panel bond adhesive. It's a "cold weld" that removes any flexing. On the exterior I went over it with 80 on a D.A. sander, followed by a small wire wheel on a die grinder. The wire will remove any contaminants from the pitting. Now it's ready for a good cleaning with wax & grease remover, followed by filler and/or epoxy primer. Quote Link to comment

Smokin'nMadNewports Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Do you use any special tools besides "standard" ones? Don't know if that makes sense lol I read that you've been doing this for a while. Quote Link to comment

Don't know if that makes sense lol I read that you've been doing this for a while. Yeah, I've been doing custom & classic car builds for a good part of 25 yrs. I do the metal fab work at the hot rod shop that i work for. We have just about every metal working tool. At home where i'm building the car, i just have all the basic body shop tools.

I would be happy to be just a gopher lol My buddies dad used to work at Coiner's in ne Portland and I'd help him out sometimes. But he got fired cause he would buy the place. Ain't that some shit? Now he has a shop in his back yard. 1 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hang on a second.. Why is it I've seen your build thread over and over.. and it's not until this second (actually from your ID card post) that I realize you are just in Springfield? lol Quote Link to comment
scooter stuff Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Yep, I work in Eugene over by the Walmart on W11th. I live in Springfield off of Jasper road. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Woah!! I've been driving past that place for years! I always remember seeing old Fords parked on the w 11th side of the shop.. It's funny cause I've seen your build thread from the beginning.. and saw you post pictures of the shop.. and I never looked to see where it was. I figured it was some where far far away.. like always. Nice work man! Quote Link to comment
