Starting up my own business.

[Philth]

That's your favourite form of transport, that is.

[Ivor]

You see that old vinyl seat, all ripped with the stuffing coming out and the bogies underneath...that's your dinner that is.

You see Thora Hird? You fancy her.

You know like, a pair of pants with some cack in it? Thats you that is.

I'd forgotten History today, thanks Ivor

Guys, this is a serious subject about starting up my own business - not a thread for punile humour!!!!!!!

If you want to start your own thread on juvenille japes go ahead but not here!!!!!!!!!! So think on a bit before you post anything else eh!!














Ivor, see your moustache - that's a hairy slug that is

Hey Jem after looking at some of your pix I was wondering what product do you use to strip the paint off? chemical or sand blasting?

cool vintage stuff there for sure

Sorry Clive, I can't tell you as it's top secret method that I've developed over a number of years. If I told you how I do it you might be tempted steal it from me - or even worse pass it on to some mult-billion pound company. If that ever happened I'd obviously have to have a contract taken out on you!

However, this forum is all about helping each other out as far as I'm concerned. That's what I love about us Mopar guys - 'All for one and one for all'

Ok, here's what I do: I go into Wickes and buy their super-value, discounted 100% off paint stripper. I then pour it over whatever I'm stripping (forget the brushing/aggitating bit as per instructions) and then leave it alone for a day. Break out the coarse wire wool and rub vigoursley until it wears through 20 pairs of latex gloves and job's a goodun

Thanks Jem one tip instead of latex why dont you try a Mari gold Glove? the ones for washing up or some rubber gardening gloves

I will call the patent office tomorrow ,and as they say "your check is in the mail" .

I was just wondering how and what you used ,looks like the old fashioned way,stripper and lots of gloves,

I had some small car parts and I used some lacquer thinner but on something large like what you are using it would kill ya.

So do you plan on doing the same marbleizing on the paint?
like the original ?

No Clive. The objective is to now polish the death out of them

Aplogies Drew, I'm getting you mixed up with Clive in my responses.

It's an age thing that only someone who's considerably older than me like Ivor can relate to.

Anyway, the answers are still the same
