Thanks that was my 1st atempt at using lead solder. I found it to be pretty easy. The DVD in the kit is pretty good. Kinda all that sand blasting has made my NE patio into a beach. If I drop a tool it gets swollowed up in no time. Thing 1 and Thing 2 are comming over next saturday to sift all the sand and find my tools so I can get back to work.
Been a while with all the sanding and body work, but I finally got back to the drip rails I cut off. Then welded 5/16" rod in its place . This is what it looks like leaded in. Its not as hard as I thought.
Can't really make out anything frm the thumbnail pix. They are to small for any kind of clarity. Can u submit reg size pix?
I tried it and it won't get bigger on my computer. Might be something wrong w/ my computer -- I recently have not been able to attach files to email.
Watch the 69 windsor blocks. They have a shorter deck you need to consider when building a stroker. And what did your god son take to the prom?
He didnt go..he was injured while wieght lifting and couldnt walk. A few months ago he flipped his Moms Car through a light post at 65mph, costing 48,000.00. No one in the car was hurt. so I changed direction on my build. Hes not ready for a muscle car. SRP makes a Flat top piston for the 9.480 Deck windsor. Every computer simulation I used from Eagle for a stoker combination had the pistons excedeing the deck hiegth. So I called them and they wanted to use a -25cc dish. So I called Roush, they hooked me up with the SRP Pistons.
More lead on the sled. I used nails to fill the trim holes in this fender, then finished it up with some lead. OSHA says not to sand lead but I did this outside with a face mask and gloves, then blew off my clothes with an air nozzle and imediatly washed them. I used 60 grit on a 6" electric da. The lead comes off in flakes to large to inhale.
Im thinking about useing this color over a Deeper Chrysler "Cool Vanilla" for my strips and tail panel. Any Opinions? Its called Fire Amber Pearl.
Color looks good. Just a little lighter than my Gold wing. Color on the Gold wing is called Crucible Orange and was only on the 2007 model.
Leaded in the pasenger side missing drip rail this morning. its kinda ruff but ill glaze it and buildit up. I ordered a pieced together serpentine system from March Performance yesterday. They really know what theyre doing over there.
It would if it rained here, but I dont intend to drive it in the rain, this car will just be a toy. I just thought that drip rails were ugly, cheap and primitive.
I mounted the Rear Spoiler Wing today, Ill take it all apart, sand ,Prime and paint the trunk and spoiler Saturday. I blew an air line so this can wait.
