Martin I have the wood for the rear window out of the car now but I can stick it in this weekend with the pan. Anything in particular you are looking for? I can take pictures of the setup out of the car too. 32 viper Yes, I can give that measurement. I can tell you this, it is different measurement from one car to another Good Luck on your car and thanks Brady1929 Mike
Im not shure if I should make my own pan or if to buy one. It would be nice to know how it mounted. Cheers
WOW some fine work here. Taking something that would be scrap, to what you have now, I very impressed with your skill.
Viper 32 The width from center line at the B pillar is 22 5/8 I have taken a few shots from the frame to the outside 1'" and from the center of the body mounting hole. Martin I'll take pictures and get dimension on the pan for you. Battery went dead Mike
Have been working on the car , although have not posted much. Nothing really noteworthy. Here's a few shots- spreader bars.. brake hoses.. brake rebuild rear ..
Is that a 240z.....cool Thanks Mike for spending time helping me out. You made it possible for me making one, its not exactly perfect but it works as nobody will ever see it. My beadroller is to short so I couldnt do the middle bead so I made it a little different. Ps,nice hammer-collection Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
McGurk Thanks for the post, been a long journey. Finding myseld spread thnner and thinner so time for the car is getting a little scarce, Need to get this thing finished! Martin Glad to help! we are all in this together, what a great community!. Yup that a 240/260 my son's project. The hammers have been a hobby of mine for years. Mostly Plomb and Proto's a few snap on and others.
Well it's been a while since my last post...Summer is almost gone and as with all of us life has gotten in the way of much progress until the last couple weeks. I finally started to finish the floor , for some reason this and the firewall have really been difficult for me. I have managed to make the center panel and the floor boards ( well sort of). I wanted to show how I made the panel as Henry did . Here are a couple of the tricks I have used . While the floor boards look cool I have decide to go another direction after installing the shifter .
Last weekend I started the body work. I began by using a metal claening wheel and then grinding/sanding the entire car. Here a shot or two of the body and then with the first applications of rage gold. ....lot's of sanding ...argh more pictures after the weekend...
An amazing transformation so far. Who would have thunk .... great job. You've taken a sows ear & built it into a silk purse.
This is a fabulous project. Great work. My hat's off to you! Are you using a some type of metal preservative / rust preventive on the bare metal as you work (i.e., Gibbs, etc.)? If you have already mentioned it elsewhere on this thread, I missed it.
CavMan-stop by anytime , your always welcome!! Bob-really been about 6 months since I spent much time on the car...wife wants to see this thing done (and so do I) Mart -I will shoot a picture of the disc i am referring too tomorrow. fiftyv8-I suppose you could do one after the other ... electolysis first perhaps. The water has to be able to carry electric current, so Molasses , water and washing soda may not have the same affect? Not sure.
Good to see progress I have been laying low or doing momas shit fixing to start my roadster 365 cadi and t5 my ol 32 is still fun but the itch to build is back ! keep up the progess looks great !
Just came in for the evening... here the progress today.... lot's of sanding....you could call it a bondo bucket..actually nothing is really that thick ...just a coat to get it straight. note the new pup was checking the proress out!
Here are the disc's I use to clean the metal with 2 are used with 4 or 4 1/2 electric grinders one with a 3" air sander.
