Hot Rods Still slowly getting there

Got the 56 Chrysler finally all primed with quick sand primer. Boy that stuff is good and thick. A gallon set me back $95. Still looks like I am going to need some glazing putty. I am going to let it dry good. I also must have a front wheel cylinder problem {guess from sitting too long} I backed it up and then drove it up from the shop and the left front wheel kept locking up when I would hit the brakes. Bruce.

 

can't see the pic bruce!

 

Hey Bruce, What brand primer did ya use?
Pat

 

Try cracking the bleeder on that wheel. A buddy of mine had the same problem on his '49 and after bleeding it a couple of times, it was OK.

 

Problem could be a failing rubber brake hose... failing on the inside!!

 

dang, put too much clear on it

 

what both the guys said before AM....but AM is right....

 

vtwhead.The pictures didn't turn out.{I had the camara on the wrong setting} I will get some pictures and post them later today.Thanks Bruce.

 

Pat I used the Slick Sand Primer.Bruce.

 

Montana1.THANKS for the information.These front brakes have really been a pain.Thanks Bruce.

 

Hamtown.I think I replaced them its been almost a year now so I will have to double check. I am getting older and the brain just can remember as good as before. I will let you know. Thanks. Bruce.

 

Anthony.Too much clear???? Its primer? Bruce.

 

Clear as in in see-thru, as in it's invisible, as invisible, as in we need pics.

 

Bruce, Slick Sand is a great fill primer, but be aware it's polyester, like bondo. At a minimum you want 2 good coats of epoxy to seal it before color. Excess solvent penetration will result if you don't. Epoxy is non-sanding for up to 72 hrs depending on the brand, overnight dry will lock it in good.

 

I had this baffle me once, long ago. Caliper hanging up, changed 'em both. Turned out to be a hose deteriorated inside, becoming a one-way valve.
Keep plugging away Bruce.

 

or you sanded way too much off

the car disappeared

 

Highlander. You are right as I was headed out of the shop I took off my mask and it smelled just like body filler. The oder was there this morning so I left the shop doors open.The car is drying under the car port now where its nice and hot. I did hit it with 2 good coats and still have the pits on the hood. Thanks Bruce.

 

Oh I will slowmotion.LOL.Bruce.

 

Anthony, its still drying.I haven done any sanding yet.Thanks Bruce.

 

O.K, O.K. Guys I snapped a few pictures while it is drying out of the shop and under the car port. Too damn Hot to pull it out in the sun. I will try and get better picture early in the morning when its cooler. Thanks Bruce.

 

Front shot.

 

Trunk area.Bruce.

 

I'd say it looks pretty good!

 

X2, looks pretty darned good so far.

 

Wouldn't it be better to leave it out in the sun?

sent from my toilet

 

Looking good!

 

Those twin cylinder Chrysler brakes are a ***** to get all 7 cylinders dry at once ! For reasons unknown to me, depending on the car, they seem to either constantly leak (but only one at a time) from various cylinders or don't give any trouble for as long as you own it. Maintenance done by previous owners, most likely ...
Looking good, Bruce !

 

Putting it outside in direct sun will heat the metal and dry it quicker.

 

looks real good!

 

Xpletiv.Believe me its as hot as a oven under that car port.Bruce.
