I just learned about these. What is your experience with them? I have always done spot plug or rosette welds without needing one. [IMG]
Good condition hole on door and possibly fender.
I should have been more clear. The panels were close off before I cut away at one to repair the rust and found black rust on the other panel. I...
Thanks for the added info. I had considered using a cutoff wheel as well. Great minds and all.
Nope its not this. I would have noticed it build up and the many abrasives I have used and the poking about. I thought at first it might be very...
I got all the room in the world. What are you suggesting?
Doing some body rust repair and found black rust in between two close panels. I am having a bear picnic of a time trying to remove it. Its dark...
"UPOL Raptor is a bed liner not an epoxy." uh ok. [IMG]
I dont see any epoxy primer.
If I were spraying an entire car I would just buy it by the gallon at my local paint shop. i just need a quart or less and had a heck of a time...
I assume it would be enamel spray primer from an aserosol because I have refinished the wheels before but I dont know for sure if I stripped the...
It is just I assume a gray 2k primer. The stripper removed most of it but it has still clung to areas of the wheels and with as many days as I...
I dont believe it would be a lead primer as the wheels are only 20 or so years old. It can be softened somewhat with lacquer thinner but I see...
I am stripping cast wheels and the paint stripper takes the paint off very well and does a quick job of it but it leaves behind the primer, and no...
I know this is a really old thread but this is pretty ingenious and was wondering how well this belt grinder had worked and if any improvements...
I was bored the other day and was wanting to do some welding but couldn't come up with anything. Has there been something you made that made you...
This is true. once its in primer i wont be worrying about all the work i have to do! once its in primer I will want to be driving and showing it...
Well made a bit of progress before my allergies started actin a fool. Pulled the dash which will make replacing the floor pan and getting the...
How dare you remind me how long I have been working on this junk! I am kidding but it does seriously boggle my mind how long its been. I do wish...
Thanks for the good advice. And I agree if it isnt fun then why do it? HOBBIES SHOULD BE FUN!! The sad thing is I have made some progress the...
Getting sick of working on this thing. Dudes in the 50's and sixties have no idea how good they had it working on non wrecked non rusted to crap...
Thanks for your replies. Its really nice to have people try to help me out and take time to write explanations of things and help people they...
Not information overload. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain some of this to me and wrap my head around it. I think I will try...
Dude that makes it totally clear. I have a 1952 ford manual and I believe it has the same type of diagram. I was having trouble imagining how a...
Thanks for the reply. This is really good advice and this is something I will probably do. It would locate everything well and even be useful...
I did start down this path but quickly realized there are a lot of crappily welded repairs on the rockers and floor supports on the passenger...
That is a good question I tried measuring the angles of both sides and they were the same. I have been afraid to mess round with stuff like this...
Yeah between this and the machine I saw in the manual for twisting/bending doors I figure I can really bash things into place if needed.
yeah I thought about that and now that you remind me of it that it might be a good way to go. The body manual shows a big fixture to actually...
Thanks for the replies guys. Well it seems I have made some progress I measured the passenger side distance from the bottom of the A pillar/...
