removing cleco's ,tacking the Tig welding... omg omg ur awesum. A reference for those who desire perfect. I like the effect of the gloss coating,is that a converter,to be sanded for primer prep? I was trying to neutralize FeO,and found the products from: http://www.yellowpages.ca/bus/Ontario/Toro...ve/3430456.html http://www.chcpaint.com/ to be very effective,convenient,expert,knowledgeable.Canadian 914 restorers should at the least,give them a buzz. Much to my regret,my results were only 'half' as good with oxy/acety while doing the flares for the Mustangs, '60s in the 70s. At first I was brazing,then later,welding headers and panels with more acceptable conclusions.Thinwalled tube,5/16"-8mm,to reinforce fender additions to clear the big fat tires. I used that Italian(Touring) method to do floorpans and trans humps. At first you must learn(do it wrong),to get better at sheetmetal repair,a process of yrs of experience,like any endeavour. "A little cheese with your flares?"I would say. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) |
