Technical Original 32 3 window fix !

Great skills to bring this back to shape. Congrats on you progress.

 

Keep the updates coming and would love to see how you get that finish and maybe some or your techniques.

 

He likes your post but stays silent [emoji23]

 

Is there a chart on the wall listing all the 3Windows that you have saved?

I need a progress fix

 

Bend the bottom hinge back a bit two whacks with a heavy hammer to get the top and bottom even, then portapower the A pillar and front door opening about 1/4 in it'll spring back to 1/8th bigger that should do it. these are old bodies they want to be bent back into shape.

 

Hope Flop doesn't mind me helping out - he's using a burnishing machine - a scotchbrite type material drum that runs on an angle grinder type machine. I think Eastwood have them but I've seen them on the 'bay. I'd add that this simply provides the final finish - the finishing magic on the magic that's performed earlier!

That's a very nice car. I reallydig it. But I already have a fully rebuilt 32 chassis with a big inch Frenzel blown flathead, 37 Lasalle tranny and a Cyclone quick change all ready to go. Just need the body.

Fine makes a rat tail grinder with variable speed and what they call a "sinus" wheel. It is essentially scotch bride in a drum shape. They are not exactly cheap but more readily available than Eastwood stuff. I used to sell them. But have moved on.

 

75 dollar fine drums compared to 19 dollar Eastwood drums . I’ll wait a few days for shipping lol [emoji3][emoji3]
