Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build
if you need to make sharper bends on your material,the shrinker/stretcher will do it.i've bent some metal on mine making pieces for my 39 Chrysler project,no problem.what i found helped was not putting the metal into the jaws very deep and it'll curl right around.

Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build
Thanks for the words. Spent yesterday evening grinding welds and removing paint. Also went on the hunt for some dixie cups to get the epoxy primer out of my qt can. Can't waste one drop of that expensive stuff. Turns out, those little dixie cups are hard to come by. Went to the local grocery - no dice, went to the local big box store - nothing. I think tonight I'm going to run to the liquor store.... I bet they would have them for making jello shots.

Re: Fashionable Fever! - 1969 Chevy C10 Build
Finally tracked some of those dixie cups down at my local diner. First time mixing up epoxy. Mixed up less than an oz. and it was still way more than I needed. I put a lid on it and hoping to use it up tomorrow on some other areas.
As you can see I tried to save a buck and mixed the stuff up in a paper cup instead of using the bigger plastic paint cups I bought with the epoxy. The primer ate right through the paper - stupid mistake. Hopefully now that I have (i think) everything I need to get this firewall seam done, it will go alot faster. |

Forgot to take a couple pics of the face of the firewall. That metal is also being replaced at the same time and epoxy primer applied.

More welding, more grinding.
