Seam Sealer Under the Cardboards
Today i seam sealed under the cardboards.
Under the Cardboards is Primed
Today i primed the body under the cardboards. I also primed the bumpers inside the bumper holders and the door hinges (only the side that touches the body). I welded 2 triangles to the apron under the bumper’s holders. The inner side of the bumpers will be black. The bottom…
The Floor and the Front Wheel Hubs are Painted. The back wheels are Installed. Rustproofing Mix.
Seam Sealer I seam sealed the floor after i primed it. Welding I had a little surprise – 2 little holes opened above the front window. The misery is that it is already painted inside and the welding will burn the paint. Floor Painted The floor was masked and painted…
The Floor is Primed. Air Cooling Fan to be Assembled
Floor Like i said before “i will start from the under-body and until i reach the point to paint the Gletcherblau i will learn to paint”. This is true, because here i didn’t have a single leak. The last thing i need to train is to not paint with “transparent…
The underbody is Painted. Prime the Suspension Parts
Materials I de-greased the under-body and sprayed the under-body with epoxy primer (catalyst, solvent). I am amazed of the quality. I couldn’t clean my spray gun after, so today i added OMNI MS 251 Multi-Purpose Solvent to my list of materials. It cleans very well. The Under-Body Next i sprayed…
Preparation to Spray the Underbody (Take 2)
Tomorrow i will spray the under-body with epoxy primer. I “packed” the garage partially. I will open the windows of the doors to get some air flow. This time i decided to make an improvised table and paint all the suspension parts there.
Paint Striping the Under-Body (Reprise)
I restarted the paint stripping of the under-body. I used a grinder and a metal brush. I use my new 3M respirator and i am very happy with it. I’ll repeat: buy an expensive respirator unless you have spare lungs. The epoxy primer spills like chalk. Today i decided to…
Restart
When i started this project i was thinking that the welding will be most challenging, but this was not true. The painting is the hardest part of the project. Maybe because i have the the mechanic background the welding was a real pleasure compared to the painting. The painting needs…
Back Suspension Arms, Etch Primer, Harmonic Puller (Air Turbine Belt Pulley)
When I woke up this morning I felt a pang. Not true. This is just a Primus song (see the end of the post). When i woke up this morning i looked outside and there was snow. A wet and heavy snow that bent the branches of the trees. The…
The Suspension is Primed
Prime the Suspension Parts Yesterday i took the suspension parts from sandblasting and sprayed them with epoxy primer. I learn on the fly, so i didn’t remove the front bearings and now they aren’t bearings anymore 🙂 I will replace them. What is Next I found graphite grease for the…
