Primer and sealer are two different things. So don't just use a "primer." PPG epoxy primer/sealer or similar epoxy or "2K" "sealer" on the bare metal, keeps any water/moisture from passing through. The PPG epoxy is non-sanding, you can't really sand it. You could then put a sandable primer over that. What you use to wipe it down is different, wiping down bare metal vs a surface that still has paint on it. It gets wiped down with a "metal prep" which I think is a mild acid. I used to have some. http://www.myrv14.com/buildlog/20160510/p-196_dplf_epoxy_primer-9-13.pdf Data Sheet for epoxy primer/sealer https://www.chemfil.ca/wp-content/uploads/TDS-DX-SERIES-METAL-TREATMENTS.pdf metal cleaners identified DX-520 Metal Conditioner is a phosphoric acid based coating chemical that will produce a zinc phosphate coating on galvanized or steel surfaces. DX-520 Metal Conditioner contains a small amount of detergent which aids in the removal of light soils and promotes the formation of a uniform zinc phosphate coating. DX-520 Metal Conditioner is pale green in colour and may turn darker over time. DX-579 Metal Cleaner is a multi-purpose phosphoric acid based cleaner and pre-paint conditioner for most metals. It can be used to deep clean a metal surface prior to paint or to prepare a surface for a subsequent chemical coating. DX-579 Metal Cleaner is blue in color and could lighten over time.

Which are you looking to for inspiration, the "Junkova" vehicle? I can't help but laugh a bit whenever I read that name.

Re: RESTORATION OF A 1912 RENAULT Louis Renault founded his auto plant in Fre’res Bellancourt, Seine France in 1898 with his two brothers. In 1912 Renault in Fre’res offered no fewer than 15 various models. The bodies of the cars were designed for and by the customer. About 90% of the body parts were made in the United States. This restored Renault is a 1912 Victoria Limousine with 12/20 horse power. The probable top speed is about 30 miles per hour, say going downhill with the wind at your back. This is the 680th model of this car in 1912. Today, only a few may be found in this kind of condition. The original owner was a Madame Alda of New York City. She was a Metropolitan Opera singer who was friends of John McCormack, Jim Brady – known as Diamond Jim and Mrs. Ray Dennis of Convent Station, NJ. At one time a Mrs. Lila Armond owned this car. She was a stock broker and sold or gave the Renault to Mrs. Ray Dennis. After about 20 years, Mrs. Dennis gave the car to her chauffeur, Mr. George Worley of Morristown, New Jersey. Mr. Worley later traded in the car to Frank Frost, a Ford Dealer on Bank Street in Morris Town, NJ. From there it was sold in 1948 to a corporation known as Weiss-Havell-Havell-Pennimpede that collected old cars. In 1961, I bought this Renault, a 1908 Reo, 1911 Cadillac, 1928 Dort and a 1917 Dodge. All the cars were restored by me and I sold them to collectors except for the Renault. The Renault was in my possession for 31 years before restoration was begun. Not until January 9, 1992 did we start to restore this fine car. Starting from the frame up, approximately 1200 hours was spent in time on engine work, de-rusting, painting, upholstery, etc. It has been a pleasure and fun for me to achieve such projects. The Renault is the last car that I will restore for my family and customers. After 42 years in the gas station business, I am in the process of retiring. My Sunoco, later known as “Lou’s Gas and Go Station” will be out of business. In those many years, I have restored about 28 cars. Each car has its memories, headaches, and love. Cars were my life’s work and if this was to be done over again, I would do the same thing. I would like to give my many thanks to a fine person, my dearest friend and pal, Mr Vincent Pennimpede of Morristown, New Jersey. He, above all, helped me in so many ways to understand old cars.

Speaking of Prime Day, and the decline of Sears. https://www.sears.com/ Here is Sears answer to Prime Day. I happened to buy Something (at a good discount already) for $39, then can use this "cash back" $30 to get something else, maybe some jeans? So I'll be getting about $70 worth of stuff for $40.

Yes that does work, thanks

http://classiccars.com/listings/view/1110028/1929-desoto-model-k-for-sale-in-cold-spring-minnesota-56320 Is it this one you're referring to?

Yep that was quick!

Ignition problem is the most likely. Rough idle, sounds like misfiring. And it ran well for a while and is back to misbehaving. So bad fuel delivery would not do that. Faulty ignition system could though. Bad coil pack or a wiring problem, like loose electrical connection. And here are some common symptoms of bad ignition coil: Backfiring. The backfiring caused by your vehicle can indicate the symptoms of the ignition coil failure in its early stages. ... Fuel Economy. ... Engine Misfiring. ... Vehicle Stalling. ... Engine Jerking, Rough idling, Poor Power.

One up front there, License V2-541. Looks distinctive, but not familiar to me. Movie is Shadow of a Doubt by the way; and a very good movie too.

That's OK with me, but looks a little unconventional. That is a pulley, with the cable taking off straight from it's top, but at the bottom the cable takes off to the side of the pulley? If it is what I think I see then unusual wear on the pulley is what one would expect.

They use those at the college I went to, still do. Davis near Sacramento. These vehicles are the pride of the Unitrans fleet, and they are available for chartering services with STS. They are roughly 60-65 years old and are kept in great shape by our fantastic shop mechanics. In fact, the bus pictured above is the only known London double decker that runs on clean natural gas in North America. They all seat 56 passengers, however they are not ADA-compliant. Additionally, there is no air conditioning, so it gets rather warm during the summer. No double deckers can be used for charters leaving Davis city limits.

Very well preserved in that dry high desert climate!

Sears essentially ceased to exist when it WAS ACQUIRED by K-Mart. For $11B. Then K-Mart decided to rename the combined entity Sears Holdings only because Sears had a better name, more recognizable. The total market cap now is $247 Million, and so that includes both Sears and K-mart stores! Which makes the acquisition of Sears by K-Mart for $11 Billion look over-priced. I point this out because some people on this board seem confused, thinking Sears bought K-Mart, since it is called Sears holdings. It was like when Nations Bank, in Charlotte, NC bought Bank of America. Bank of America continues to exist, but only because of the generosity of Nations Bank in that they decided to keep that name and retire their own. Bank of America was headquartered in San Francisco, but the new one is in Charlotte, no surprise. On November 17, 2004, Sears announced it was being acquired by the management of Kmart Holding Corporation (company that owns Kmart) for $11 billion after Kmart completed its bankruptcy (USA Today Nov. 17, 2004). As a part of the acquisition, Kmart Holding Corporation along with Kmart was transferred to the new Sears Holdings Corporation and Sears was purchased by the new Sears Holdings. The new company started trading on the NASDAQ stock exchange, Sears sold its single letter ticker symbol 'S' it had held since 1910 to Sprint.[26] The new corporation announced that it would continue to operate stores under both the Sears and Kmart brands.

I think the only reason Jake posted this is he wants to be told it's OK to just throw it out on the dirt and rake some leaves over it. But that could not be futher from the truth.

Original paint in very nice condition under the dust.

Make an offer. If the seller wants to consider it an insult who cares? Older cranks can be some of the most arrogant and greedy.

Here is a Dauphine for sale near Sacramento, California, not cheap, will not sell for anywhere near the asking price. Greg, phone (209) 667-7366 Renault Dauphine 1964, Link - Renault Dauphine Very, rare less then 5 in USA!! New engine..... needs paint, chrome and upholstery GETS 48 MILES PER GALLON!!!!!!! NEW TIRES.....$3,500 or best offer And there is also this 1964 Renault 8 R8 - $3500 (san mateo) Strange how they are both 1964's.

I had one of these, '84 Renault Encore. It seemed they got very bad reviews, but totally undeserved. I loved it. 40 mpg on the freeway, good pick up, acceleration. which had in part to do with it being light, but the tiny 1.4 liter also put out a lot of power for it's size. I got it up to 95 mph. And it handled very well, which also benefited from it being light. French engineering. Electronic ignition and throttle body fuel injection which didn't seem to need maintenance. Automatics probably had problems, but like always I had a stick, 4-speed.
