Ian, I am trying to get every section to bare metal before welding. I then attach a zinc paint inbetween both joining sections before spotwelding with a bit of paint overlap (just to be sure..). Afterwards, I swipe off the excess zinc paint with a brush, degrease the lot and apply Epoxy coat to the repaired section. It is a time consuming job and I have to admit that I sometimes have to stop myself from becoming too nit-picking :wink2:Amazing...Quick question though, are you using Epoxy primer as the coating in most of these shots?
Do you apply before joining your metal together, or join it up and do your best applying after?
Thanks,
Ian
Thank you for your thoughts Ian, much appreciated!I have to say, this is an amazing body of work.
Where did you get so many quality panels for the inner structure?
I am not even sure what you 'saved' from the original car?!
it's truly amazing the quality you are putting into this build and I applaud the effort.
I can barely glue on some fiberglass guards/fenders and even though that has it's own challenges, this is of a completely different skill set!
A very understanding wife/girlfriend I saw a few pages back, and I applaud her sacrifices to let this endeavor move forward.
