Projects 33 chevy 3w....time for a cool change

both shoulders are fine but for some reason my knees were killing me. maybe from standing in one spot?..... it sucks getting old.

 

Wow, Teddy, she's looking fine! Keep at it!

 

Gary, i consider the body work done the crest of the hill.
I am battling a heavy spring work load, and working the car into the schedule.
thanks everyone for the support!

 

glued the rubber mats to the backer plates i had made. i scuffed the new paint and mats with scotch brite and cleaned the surfaces with prepsol. i then used 3m contact spray for rubber. once glued i test fitted them again.

 

That looks great, I have to do my matts on my 32. How much time did you have to work with them before the glue sets and your screwed?

 

the can said to spray each piece and then wait 4 minutes before joining them. i started at one corner and slowly lowered it along the back edge so only a small piece was touching. i did have to pull the edge off to get it straight and it really was stuck. so to answer your question 0 time and it would be easier with two people.
when i use contact cement for formica, i put "sticks" in between then slowly pull them out. it would work for this too. although an extra set of hands would be a help.

 

Should have called me!

 

Ted your energy is incredable getting so much work done on the car is amazing. CSRA Swap Meet is Sunday see you there if you take time off from the car!

 

i thought i could do it alone.......but when the block sanding starts......

 

Thanks Ronnie, i am making my list now. never miss that swop.
couple greasy donuts and a cup of coffee before six, in line creeping into the compound before seven.

 

everything now has the first round of primer;

 

I can smell the primer all the way to Bridgewater!

 

Looking good! One step closer

 

I'm either going to have to get off my fat ass and do something or stop watching this thread.

 

Ted, Looking good.

 

Go man go! That is one very fine Chevrolet.

 

thanks Tom

thanks Frank!

thanks, i am trying to do something to it everyday.

 

Need a photo of the needed vent window regulator. Bob

 

Stopped by today to check out the progress on the Chevy. No one home so I broke into the barn and took a couple of pictures. Sure looks good! It is amazing how much better the house looks with my coupe parked in front of it!

 

Bob, post 698 exploded and complete views. it is the butter fly shaped regulator, the other one is from a 34 sedan delivery.

 

That house looks good without your old car in front of it !

 

thanks, i knew a someone with a ford stopped by.......i saw the oil drip in the driveway

 

You guys are too funny. How big was the oil puddle?

 

just kidding, that car is perfect. i think Mark even waxes the inside of the exhaust pipes.

 

The oil puddle isn't so bad ..It's those nuts and bolts that can ruin the tires on the Chevy

 

3.5 hrs of making dust and it is more than half way there.

 

Body looks about ready for coat #2, no window crank at Rhinebeck, hope one turns up tomorrow in Bristol. Bob

 

thanks for looking for me.
so far ,i found a couple spots that need a little more filler [tiny]. dry blocking with a long board with 180 grit finds little imperfections in the panels. i use a black epoxy under the filler primer so i know when i am getting close to sanding through. so the spots showing would have been a "wave".

 

I thought I saw a wave when I was there!

 

I think that was from Tater!
