So next plan is to sand blaste all the parts myself and them powder coat them.
Xxxx

Just got back from the sand blasting company.

Lots of work to be done

Not too bad though. The bodywork is in great shape.

Chassis welding is easy. No need to worry about warping.

Wil ... you`re making really good progress with it .. Well done

Doesn`t look that bad at all

She looks to be in great shape mate, nothing major there.

Can only add to the other comments Will!

Your doing a pukka job at a cracking rate (wish i had the time/space to do the same)!

Keep the pics coming mate!

Thanks guys

Well after hours and hours of spin the car and washing it with thinners to get all the diesel out the panels the car got a lick of 2k primer and is back in the cellar

Technical Question

Before i go and buy sheet metal to patch rebuild this car can someone confirm if im correct.

I will use 1mm thick for the floor and front wings ect

and use 2mm thick for the chassis rails.

will this be ok

Measure the thickness of the existing steel?

I have and im getting around 2mm on rails and 1 mm on pannels


Just want to ask to see what others use

Hey Will, if my memory serves me correctly, the B body panels in 1968 will be 18 gauge and the chassis rails 14 gauge.

Gauge i had to googgle that


Perfect thanks


2mm

and 1.2mm

don't really look like factory when installed !! ( and are not inteded to be , un like the AMD stuff )) but can be stronger depending how you weld them in !!
expencive to ship though !

although could save time , while your waiting for these to come over , could be getting on with something else ??


have a good look on there site & project cars ! interesting stuff to look at !!
