sebastienbuick Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 Hello all, here is some news of the restoration.Waiting to receive the seals of gearbox, I continue the work on the front of the car.As you can see in the first few pages of the subject, I worked on the chassis and underbody and stopped at the engine.Now that everything is disassembled I was able to work on what to stay.I first remove the ventilation system with the small heating radiator as well as other small parts.I then advance the car so that the front is out to be able to sanded.After having protected everything I began to sander.So I put on a day of sandblasting (whole Sunday), and in the evening when I returned from work I applied phophate paint and then the primary paint, then I applied anti-gravity on the frame (light gray ) And finally I apply black finish paint on the chassis.I will finish painting the panel of the box in black as soon as I could 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebastienbuick Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 So I unpack this piece (the lining) and you can see that there was a big hole underneath.So I cut out the rusty part and redo this piece.Instead of doing with metal pieces as original, I chose to do with only one thicker piece to catch the two metal thickener.And as his, will no longer rust between the two pieces.

sebastienbuick Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Then, after the paint is dried I start to take care of the piece of metal to be welded.Original the lining was "pointed" (welding machine in the factory) but this machine I did not.I then proceeded differently, I pierced three hole in the double and in the metal parts of I made to put instead the rivet.But before that I apply a seal between the two pieces (joints that use in the car manufacturing plant).I then start to make some welding point to position the parts then I then finished and painted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebastienbuick Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 I then cut out as I could (there is not much room at this place to cut and work), then after removing the rust I applied a product (green) which kills the rust up at the root .After this product is dry, I apply phosphating paint, primer paint and black finish paint.After doing this, I was able to solder my new metal.I then repack the entire piece of the panel and then painted in primary and finish paint.

Beemon Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Beautiful work! I wish I had the talent to do these types of things, but I don't have the space, time, or accessibility to tooling to even think about learning. Where I live, it's also illegal to paint outside without a roller, and my neighbors were nosy and stiff. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to seeing it all back together! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
