the510keeper Posted February 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 With other projects we have painted for money, 510 only. Paint jobs have run from $4000-$7500 depending on how intense. But the fumes are making me crazy in the head, so we might just b retiring from painting cars for awhile. Those that know me might say i have always been crazy, yeah i know Quote Link to comment
Abe Froman Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Sure blame it on the fumes....Not sure that I believe that ! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted February 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 And the work continues, I want smooth, baby. Shaven door handles This is a cool tool, allows you to back your holes, for welding shut, and helps with heat. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Vic is recovering from surgery so she has not been able to help in the shop. But soon. On with it I say cut out the drive line tunnel, what a bitch this was. (cutting was ez, but welding things back wasn't) We cut the complete tunnel from a wrecked 4 door thinking we might be able to use it. Turned out it was a bit to big at the tranny end of it. And i cut it to short wow. You don't know how to play that, silly boy Welded in some ends to a now open tunnel tube Other reinforcements Welded in the beginning of it working my way back, slowly, ended up using some of the red tunnel. Cut and trim and weld, repeat. More to come Quote Link to comment
Abe Froman Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 James, Your hat's on FIRE !!!!! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 After a trip to P town, we got back to work and Victory is back in the game. Finished the tunnel and ready for the sealer. Afterward, pulled the gas tank and started cutting all the unnecessary crap out form under the cargo area. Also made the plunge into the gas door area. I will get a lot of pics of this as we get more done. Quote Link to comment
WAGON JON Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Looking great James and Vicki! Keep up the photos! Quote Link to comment
The Dat-side Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 Sealer huh? I'll be taking out my seats and wire brushing th floorpans for sealer this spring/summer. POR15 is the stuff? roll/brush on? Lookin' good so many cars by you and your team, I can't wait for the end result. And give us back Phil for the stories! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 NO por15, I use the ironclad by Benjamin Moore $50 gallon. We usually sand blast the areas we seal. Seams to work for areas that are sanded well also. 2 coats waiting a week between coats Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Dropped off the goon a week or so ago, at a friends shop. I'm contracting him to do some custom sheet metal work. Atom and I picked it up last night and things look great. Completely cut the rear valance off and installed a hand made custom sheet metal pan with french ed in hinged license plate with hidden hitch receiver. I wanted the pan to follow the angle of the rear sides of the goon, instead of flowing out at the bumper bracket areas. check it out, these pics my buddy took Have thought about this for years. Hoping to tow this someday 3 Quote Link to comment
