Here's mine...20 gauge steel using a Victor with a #000 tip [ATTACH]
Here's a few shots of the Tom Mix Cord supercharged engine. To see some pics of the body and paint restoration you can visit my website. Since the...
I fab and sell a few sheet metal parts. Chris at Shoebox Ford and Macs are both great sources. You can visit my website to see what I have or pm me.
They're good torches, a bit heavy though. I've had mine since 1993 and pretty much use it everyday.
House of Kolor has a couple of good solid reds, one called Kosmos Red and the other is called Blue Blood.
I use DuPont 225S Aluminum cleaner, 3M red scotchbrite pads and/or a stainless steel wire brush. It's an acidic cleaner that will eat away the...
The part number for the CR Laurence butyl primer is CRL1106. It's for the pinch weld and the glass.
Amazing work. Thanks for the time posting the progress pictures and telling us about the build. Rolling Art is what I would call it.....
Building a '49 coupe for my dad and frenching in some '56 Olds 98 lights. Not finished yet.....I had vertical '51 Ford lenses in it but didn't...
KrisKustomPaint: Keep me updated if you start a build project like the Saoutchik Delahaye. I'd like to see the progress pics. I agree with with...
The Coupe Simone was designed by Raffi Minasian and Roger Hardnock. I just recently emailed Raffi about building a full size car for a client....
Epoxy primer and single stage urethanes have worked best for me. I've done a few base clear but the clear always turns yellow.
Something else to check is sloppy hinge arms. Are the hinges originals, re-built originals, or aftermarket? Most of the aftermarket hinges I...
I always slot the holes in the cowl also. Make sure that the ends of the hinge arms fit flat against the hood. A couple of crescent wrenches...
not the trunk latch panel......it's the lower panel behind the bumper. I guess you would call it a rear valance. Is anyone making these? I did...
I plan on making a few copies of the rear lower tail panel for the 49 Merc. Not sure if the 50 and 51 are the same? I have the buck made and...
Great pictures...you ever notice that all of the really old bias-ply tires that you see are always bald... [ATTACH]
Never had a problem with body filler over epoxy primer..... been doing it that way for at least 16 years. I have always lightly sanded it first...
Call me crazy but I'm going to say as early as 1929. I just did the body and paint restoration on a 1929 Rolls Royce that was given to Marlene...
Nice work!
For rust you can't get to and scrub with Ospho, I use a product called Zero-Rust. You can set your trunk lid upside down and pour the Zero-Rust...
Here's a panel for a '46 Ford trunk lid that Dave (who I think is a Hamber now) and I shaped out of 20 gauge steel [ATTACH]
If I remember right they didn't have a "U" channel. There should have been a roll of sticky felt about 1/2" wide included in your kit. The felt...
Here's a few more. [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH][ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have been using Mac Hammers for about 20 years. The BTH164 is one of my favorites. My son uses Snap-On. He just bought three good Faimounts and...
Great old pictures and info...thanks for sharing it
I second this......main thing to concentrate on will be your door gaps and fit.
Jeff, congrats to you and Dennis!
Welcome....almost any answer you have can be found with the HAMB search button!
I use glass setting tape from C.R. Laurence. I would check with your local glass company. They would probably sell you enough for your '33...
