Dart Hubcaps

Shot of the same quarter with the Dodge Dart hubcap. Can't wait to see these spinning in the sun!

Work begins again

The weathers fining up and I can start the body work.
A little teaser to get me motivated to get going again.
Hope you all like : )

Sand blasting

The air compressor is back and working again, but it's been way too cold to get out in the shed at night.I did however take the guards down to the sand blaster for a clean up. The result is WOW! There is no way I would have been able to clean up around these light housings to this standard! For people concerned about blasting, the following process was taken: All hard edges and thickened steel were garnet blasted. All large flat areas were plastic media blasted to ensure there was no stretching of the steel. In other words there is no distortion of the steel and the guards came back exactly the same shape as they left.

Works stalled

Works have stopped for the moment as I've burnt out my compressor. Sand blasting the rust along the belt line of the car took it's toll. Hopefully the repair bill won't be too much.

Quick before and after

Just a reminder of where we started!

Dash is finally finished

All the seats are in and I finally got a chance to put back the silver looking trim around the dash panels. It now looks complete. (And comfy too!)

Front seats fixed as well

As you can see the front seats were stitched together as well where they'd split. While the covers were off I took the opportunity to to fix the springs and get the reclining action going again. Seats work as good as new
