Very nice
thats cool that you found a guy for the hard lines . Nice Dewalt’s . I use
the caring bag for a tool bag for the cars . They work good for that . and
I’ll root for the 49er’s , even though they knocked out the Packers in the
post season 🙂
Cool update John
Wow John your really ramping up there Sir, and Denise was right grubby
chops!! LOL, all looking good, cheers Scott
Good idea, I’ll PM Milo about it.
Good stuff John!
Nice update John.
thanks
The game was 10am Monday here..Good to see a vid John.
Would be cool to have that expansion tank polished 🙂
great stuff John , that hammerite is great stuff , should do you well.
Haha- yes, I was using chemical stripper on the expansion tank so I opened
the door and it was comfortable. It has been cool and raining on and off
lately.
Ah, Stella….she’s a reliable friend!! Cheers! The spray can versions of
hammerite are good John, give a nice finish, good choice 🙂 Not a John
Carey day, but I could live with having the garage door open and in a
t-shirt….that would do me just fine!!!
i would suggest using fiberglass matting and resin to do a really good
foundation repair. Then use some short strand fiberglass filler (kitty
hair, bondo hair) to finish it off. Then you if you are going for a very
smooth finish, you can finish coat it with some regular body filler.
Nice update John. Slowly but surely you are getting there. Hope your team
wins!
thanks Rob – I am watching your firebird come together.
Good chat John Enjoy the “game”
Thanks Tim
Nice update Look Plastex plastics repair in youtube
I’m going to have him come over to help me with the SU carb tune up.
Hi John, still chaseing videos around…It is very important that you use a
OneToOne Epoxy Resin…it is different than the resin you would make/mold
something with. Tap Plastics in Mountain View has the good stuff along with
a bit of glass mat.
OK, I’ll google it thanks
Thank you – I was thinking that a fiberglass matt with resin made a lot of
sense, because it will reinforce the cracked area. Someone PM’d me wiht a
suggestion to use metal screen embedded into the resin as reinforcement.
Not a bad idea, but I woorry that I’d ahve to build it up too much and the
shape will look funny.
Haha – I didn’t see it until I looked at the video. LOL It was the paint
dust from the expansion tank – I used a putty knife to scrape it after the
chemical stripper worked on it a while.
Good deal on finding the brake line guy. Him knowing those cars ,and sounds
like a nice guy, may end up being a big help to ya.
Hey, are you home from the Carribean?
Damion – good to see you subscribed again.
Good update John, never done any fiberglass repair myself so can’t help you
much.
Talk to Milogarage about the fiberglass/epoxy. We will tell you the proper
stuff to use… Most guys route the crack out so the repair material has
plenty of surface area to bond with.
That’s a good idea, Jag’s need a tool kit! 🙂
I am trying to stay faithful to the original look so I think I want to
paint it with the hammertone.
