"Bare Metal Picture Thread"

Clear coat and heated garage -- but it had some surface rust to start with . . .

 

I started a thread a little while ago about bare metal prep if anyones interested here it is. Also please add to it if you have some advice. Thanks

Mr Lockwood , are you going to be able to make Syracuse, with your Bare Metal Ride ?

Awesome.

 

South Omaha Turds Speedster built by Dick Warsocki in the raw on a day of road testing. Kind of a lame picture, it is in the background. It's all shiny black now! ~sololobo~

Stripping my '33 Plymouth now, pretty happy (mostly) with what I've found so far.

Here's the quarter panel and doors.

 

Makes me want to take my 54 Pontiac back down to bare metal and do it properly...

 

Whoa, whoa. You can't just post up a secret picture of your show rods and not expect us to want to know more. What's the story on this one?

Hi there , this is mine .....sander with 120 grit , scotch brite by hand then shit loads of GIBBS OIL.....

 

I live in a high humidity area and I use to use zinc sheet to make panels, I found a product called Henkel 253 it's suppose to be a Loctite company? It's a clear metal prep. I use cold rolled sheet for complex shapes but still use zinc sheet for floors and the like.



Cheers Steve.

 

That's a bitchin looking spinner you got mate

 

Recently I saw a chassis (in Foy Gilmore's shop in Pensacola) that was wiped down with something called Shark Hide. Don't know where you get it but if it works in Pensacola it should work just about anywhere you just re-apply every few months. That thing looked nice!

 

Thanks man for that..... some more pics

Very, very tidy looking shoebox! I dig it a lot.

I like this look. I took this picture at a shoe the day I chpped it 5 inches. The top is just tacked on. I used photoshop to lower it about 3 inches.
