Its been  a while since you played cars

[fe350chev]

Yeah I'm doing something about that. Floor on one side in, lh sills nearly done. T700 mount in post. More parts getting sorted for blasting on both cars. I won't put pics up till sills are in and floor finished. 

[fe350chev]

The rear main frame channel thingy is the best bit on the whole car. I'm wondering at what point I should run new wires back.

Photobucket mobile version sorta sucks

Yay pitchers , whoa big job there Deano no wonder you've been finding it hard to get going, as someone who has been through it though just keep plugging away and as you start to see the light at the end of the tunnel you will start to get more motivated, I don't want to sound like i'm telling you what to do but if you got it sandblasted first you would find it easier to see what you are up to and the welding a lot smoother plus it just makes you feel better to look at the old girl all clean and primed instead of rusty and dirty, have a look at the first couple of pages of my post and see how much difference it makes i was stoked when i got my wagon done she looked so much better.

Hmmm,reply number 63.....

[fe350chev]

Done it for a reason. I live in a remote area and no blaster for long distance, also I want the floors all blasted a primed too cos they are crap. We only have an industrial blaster guy here which is too abrasive. If I was in city it would be easy.

I'm borrowing a shed too, mine still in pieces

A little bit when ever you can. Hope it goes to plan.

Its good not having too much of a time frame. Hey, do ppl take project cars to the Nationals?

[mcl1959]

No not really, the nationals is geared towards finished cars, and the constitution lists some basic requirements that all cars much have. One is that it must be legally registered in its home state. The reason for this is because of insurance.

Hey are you in adelaide collecta? Yeah a lot of people talk about soda blasting these days. Another bloke reckons to use used garnet that has already gone through the gun for mine.

[collecta]

 Im in Adelaide. A mate of mine has a blast shop and does soda and conventional. New blast media does leave a very coarse finish. Using the media over and over, it does fine up and leaves a smoother finish but heat and warpage become a problem particularly on panels. Soda wont touch glass ,rubber,chrome or stainless.
cheers

I just had an origanal sedan rear venetian blasted by a local dude. He used a new garnet (he was waiting for new media when I dropped the parts off) and in his words dusted it - absolutely no warpage and clean as a whistle!

Very happy

[fe350chev]

What's the name of the joint Scott.

[fe350chev]

Thinking of a Suzuki colour "Azure Grey". The tunnel is in for the t700 trans, firewall slightly modified for anything in future with big bellhouse   also trans mount in, most of shitty stuff done!  

I remember when Pete (rb26) said to me once that if I survive the body work then I can worry about other shit. Well, I think I'm on me way Pete.
