body and frame reunited!

Marty and Dan came up from Portland last night and dropped off Eric's Dodge body.

it was the long lost missing ingredient needed for determining engine location and wheelbase.

thanks guys!

Paul

 

Looks good !!!

 

Hey its starting to look like a hot rod...

 

hey 60's style,

what did you use to seal the primer on your other car?

sorry to wreck the thread, but i asked when you were priming it but i must have missed the answer.

Looks good.....

 

seal?

it'll get paint some day but right now it's raw primer..

a high build two part dp product..

Paul

 

ok thanks, thats what mine is right now too, i thought there was talk about sealing it for a while so you could drive it before you painted it.

 

it's not the right way to do it,

a top coat should go on as soon as the base coats are cured.

the primer is porous enough to let moisture and other contaminates in and may compromise the end product.

I keep mine relatively clean and dry, and will wash it real good with degreaser and dry it good in the heated garage before paint.

it's a hot rod what can I say?

Paul

 

What year is the dodge, it looks like mine 1919/22

 

this is an '18

got any pictures of yours?

 

Heres mine. Front ends done, rears is still trying to be figured out..

 

that's coming along nicely

wasn't it some sheet metal leaning up together out in the yard just a few months ago?

Paul
