mull Posted April 30, 2006 Author Share Posted April 30, 2006 Is that the color or the primer?! So much suspense! wheres the video to go along with it? Yeah' date=' that's just the [standox'] epoxy primer. I'll probably make a short video from the paintshop. Hang tight ; ) I have to get my wide angle lens back in order to film properly as well. Lots of more work to be captured on film, so there'll be more videos coming along. Not to worry ; ) more pics: Yeah, I know it's not smooth as a babys bottom - it will be though =) ... And yes - the fender flares will be chopped off eventually and custom made metal flares will be installed in their place. But for now it's heading for bondo. FOR NOW. I promise : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 why arent you doing the flares now while its the best time to do it???.. also question on the battery tray. i see its tack welded all the way around it, and i can see that theres little non welded gaps between each weld and etc. how are you gonna fix that to make it look perfect and smooth? everytime i did that and tried to smooth it with filler you can just see the filler and turns out like crap, i always had to sit there forever and tack in each hole and then grind it down, then fill it to a babys bottom. care to share? looks awesome btw! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Thanks Mike! The reason for not doing the flares right now is that I want either a custom made rear end or that of a Skyline. Either way - I want to model the flares once the new rear end, and the wheels I want to use, are in place in order to get the correct width/design of the flares. The battery tray welds (along with all the other welds/seams/etc) will be covered with Plastic Padding body caulk/putty/whatever-its-called(?) then smoothed with a brush and (sooner or later) recieve a couple of layers paint on top. It won't be 100% smooth, but I don't really care about looks under the hood since this car isn't built to be a show car : ) Here's a picture of the products that will be used for the undercarriage. The stuff in the back labeled "body special" is a thick/rough elastic paint that'll protect undercarriage/wheel arches/etc from stone chips, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mull Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 Latest batch of pics "Forgot" to remove the old "trolley" wheels before paint. No worries though. More paint later on - once they're gone. Sent off, back home. Currently installed in the rotissery - waiting for the caulk/putty/yada-yada-stuff-to-keep-moisture-dirt-etc-out-of-the-welds-and-seams : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcelectronics Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hi All, I think the product you are after is called "Seam Sealer" the one I have used is made by 3M and it comes in a can or in a tube, you can brush it on from the can, or squeeze it on and use your finger (I knew there was a reason they thought me finger painting at school LOL)and it works great most car manufacturers used to use this to seal the body panels after spot welding to stop moisture/water from getting between the panels and rusting them out? Check this link out http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/auto_marine_aero/automotive_aftermarket/node_GSWMS8NB1Nbe/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_GSLPLPKL4Xge/gvel_6DTWTJQPBBgl/command_AbcPageHandler/theme_us_aad_3_0 Quote from the 3M™ website "Seam Sealers" Easy to apply sealant that is used for sealing interior and exterior autobody joints and seams. Applies easily and can be smoothed to a featheredge. with a wet-finger/and Sets to a firm, tough, rubber-like water resistant bead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say "Happy birthday" to it from me will you The truck you're talking about is pretty much fixed since a couple of months. I rented it from a friend who does'nt live nearby. In addition I prefer transporting the bare metal hull in a covered truck as you probably understand : ) The weather is a bit sketchy from time to time during spring here.
