Hot Rods Cody Walls Builds 32 Ford 3 window coupe “The Ardun Killer “ .

Thanks for sharing this. I really like seeing lead work, and the belly pan is a great idea.

 

Great detail & finishing, you make it look easy.
I have a question, when doing your lead work, how do you neutralize the acid in the tinning butter & flux? I just have a hell'uva rustball to deal with the day after doing lead and avoid doing lead for that reason.
I use Johnsons' tinning butter and liquid flux.
Thanks, Oj

 

Thank you for the progress photos. I always enjoy to see how others do they things. Awesome attention to details.

 

It’s been a busy weekend. Finishing up the metalwork on the body . Sandblasting a priming . Also a very small portion of chrome parts a piece started showing up from Jon Wright Custom chrome plating . An if your wondering I’ve sent out almost 150 pieces to get chromed including the firewall .

 

Just water . I’m using Johnson’s flux a solder . But I still have the fuzz . Just sand it a lot .

 

Really nice project, no idea why it took me so long to find it. Bob

 

I like it!

 

I posted the question on AllMetalShaping and they reminded me to wash with baking soda (I knew and forgot that) and after filing they say to hit it with ospho. I haven't tried the ospho step as yet. How much do you mix the liquid flux with? I tried it straight up the first time I used it and my whole shop was a horror the next day! Since then its been 50-50ish and it still affects stuff quite a ways away.
They also said not to use aluminum oxide sand paper on the lead, you'll have a reaction that shows up after paint. I expect you just use a file.

 

Sounds like we’re using two different fluxes . I’ll send you a message

 

Progress . Yes it has filler in it .

 

Don't all hot rods have filler on them. Mine sure does. Gonna be a great ride Cody

 

Only if you want and like them straight.

 

Cody, how does the inflatable spray booth work out for the bodywork ? Are you wearing a mask while in there sanding ?

 

It works out well . Contains about 95%of the dust inside. . yes I do .

 

Needs a Hilborn injected Olds motor. Hehe.

 

Did Olds even build an inline SIX motor?

 

they built a flathead inline 6 up til 1950

 

Nothing against 'injected Olds' but this thing has already pegged the cool meter!

Oh my; what is that, a light silvery blue with a gold pearl?

 

I'm color blind and I like it

 

Wow. Cubic hours .It's going to look amazing .Already does. Your Rotisserie-frame jig is way cool. Thanks for taking us along .

 

The details Cody, the DETAILS! The radius on the boxing plates, the radius on the spreader bar mount and let's not even start on the spreader bar itself. Just amazing!!!

 

^^^^^I CONCUR!!!! ^^^^^

 

I'm lovin the spreader bar design. Nice job.

 

Re Dic U Lous!

Thanks for the continued share.

 

is it glassier on the #7 side??

 

With the binks #7. It’s bluer a the metallic stands up way more .

The iwata makes it more silver looking a the metallics lay down . Which I don’t want.

binks #7 for the win .
