Flop Thanks for taking the time to document your work. It is a great source for all of us in the hobby. I was wondering why you don't media blast the body before you start the repairs?

I didnt either, wanted to wait till the metal work was done before media blasting, I wanted it totaly clean before epoxy primer.

Flop · 01-11-2013, 07:59 PM

no problem tin cup!

metalho brings up a valid point in why as to why wait if I can. i like my work to be blasted as well incase anything is thin ... the blaster will blow through !

well the last of the bracing to be rebuilt is the b pillar where it attaches to the subrail . It really wasn't in to bad a shape but still needed redone .

whipped this little piece up to fill the void

Flop · 01-19-2013, 09:43 AM

well thats done now to cover it with the outer sheetmetal!!

justindwright · 01-22-2013, 09:37 AM

Flop. The work you do truly is amazing!

Flop · 02-03-2013, 08:03 PM

thanks justin!!

well had an extra hour today to work on my coupe .

bracket in that holes the b pillar to the subframe ... never to be seen again

door fit to the quarter

i like my bottom body line to actually line up !

and tacked

Russ/40 · 02-03-2013, 08:15 PM

Did I miss something? What is the purpose of the slice in the door bottom?

Flop · 02-03-2013, 08:29 PM

I brought the edge of the body line down by about a 16th of an inch .

zzlegend · 02-04-2013, 08:59 AM

Flop, that seems like a very small hiccup, compared to what you started with and all the improvements you are making to this body. Keep up the great work. This is probably one of the most interesting threads on the Barn. Wish you were closer. I have a 27 roadster pickup body that needs a little attention.

Flop · 02-13-2013, 08:22 AM

zz thanks !! ive had to do alot worse then a simple slice over the years thats for sure!!

that little 27 sure sounds like fun!!

fresh coat of gibbs since the shop was condensing due to the warm weather!

well then i started working late and then got hungry so thats where i stopped

patch finished up

Flop · 02-17-2013, 09:09 PM

tied up some loose ends/ details on the B pillar tonite

threw Ralphs decklid on just for kicks !

half impressed that it actually fits

all the major stuff just about done on this side !

Flop · 03-26-2013, 07:50 AM

well i got the whole back of the car together with nuts and bolts! ! no more vice grips!!!

they seem to be multiplying!!

29ModelA · 03-26-2013, 08:10 AM

Looking good! Did you ever find any info on all those A's around the corner from your shop?

Flop · 03-26-2013, 08:18 AM

29modela thanks!!

havent received a phone call yet . going to go back when i get a free afternoon and see if my notes are gone or still hanging .

Flop · 05-19-2013, 04:54 PM

actually had some time to mess with the coupe . changed the latches out from the orig set of doors so now the doors shut !!

they fit very nice now and close like new !
