I need to learn how to weld, I think it'd be so fun to be able to do this kind of work.

Next dumb question.........Do you ever do (or have done) a full media blast of the body? Is it more or less expensive than using your 'lie detector'? I'm sure it's more expensive, but in the long run, you find all the issues at once. Or am I wrong? Is the full media blasting for color changes only?

Scotty, it's great work as usual. Just wondered how much media blasting vs 'lie detecting' might save time and therefore money?

Thanks,

Kelly


full blasting is all in what the customer wants to do with the car. In most cases like Bills car the knotted wire brush gets the brunt of the use

If this had been a concours worthy car I might have done the bare metal respray. This car is never going to be that.

I agree....if it's so good why wouldn't you sell the car and give someone a chance to restore it? From your signature the car is a '73 2.0....which is very desireable

Mostly due to the fact that some time before I got her, somebody welded the front half of a '70 model onto the back half of the '73. If all the vins were matching I would save her. I would still save her ifI could afford it but I am struggling to pay for the two I already have at Scotty's and still doing a very poor job of that. Plus, I still have an LE that needs to go there in a few years when the others are done and paid for. Probably sometime after my death and if my daughter doesn't blow all the life insurance money.

Yes 3 full timers right now. I still have Mark Epsteines, Dr. Evils, Hotshoes and a 911 racecar in line, as well as a few I lined up this weekend (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) I need some cheap labor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

It's good people are spending money on their 914's...just makes it rough when they hit all at once. It's a nice problem to have! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I have at least one more (maybe two) I want to bring you this Fall. One is for minor body work. Another is my '76 that has some rust...but I don't think it's as bad as the green one.

Also, I'm thinking of a high quality paint job on the white car you saw on the trailer during the transmission clinic. That car is a low mileage original and is probably show worthy.

I'll let you get caught up before I overwhelm you with details!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) I heard his boss is a prick, it should be easy to get him canned.

Seriously, great work Scotty...following closely to pick up more tips. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) second pic shows how the engine shelf needs to be sliced and reshaped to fit. everything got a healthy shot of undercoating, but I let Andy take that picture (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Quite a transformation from what it was before. I knew you were the guy for the job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

While you are in there you might as well polish up those rear suspension pieces! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Just Kidding!

On another note...what are you using for undercoating? Looks like two different paints/primers and then an undercoat?

Etch primed everything, then seam sealed all of the joints. Since this is going to be driven regularly I put a light coat of seam sealer over everything below the engine shelf for added protection. Then a coat of black epoxy paint, then the undercoating. Here you can see better where the seam sealer was brushed on then the black paint before the undercoating

This is awesome. Very cool that you reused the interties. -I thought I was the only one crazy enough to try that - it is a lot of weld to grind through! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
