Thanks guys for all the comments. I’m waiting on the stud welder to arrive so I can get all the dents out as much as possible, then we’ll try to close this one out. I will try and post more pics as I go along with the hopes that they will be of some assistance to another person.
Doc
That’s what I was taught as well Wydir, just checking…I will probably just do what I know and not try anything knew at this point…I have some metal I can try it on thought, just to see how it works out. Thanks for the reply.
Yeah Jason, I started off with the small heat rings, but man that roof was stretched like crazy. I would have prefered to just cut the whole roof off and weld another one back on. Of course, then I would have to take the glass out and I know Doc, it would get broken, haha.
It’s all tight now though, so it worked out by some strange happen chance.
Thank Bondo, I’ll take that as a compliment from one of the old heads. Appreciate it. Now you will also get to watch me mix Bondo with Evercoat Rage Gold since I am poor, haha. I have some stud pulling and old school hammer and dollying to do, then well get to the filler. Since I’m here, I got a question, do you, or anyone else for that matter, ever put body filler over Epoxy primer?
Smooth, a tree fell on the roof of the car when we had some bad weather. I stripped all the paint for a few reasons: 1. there were multiple dents in the roof, 2. the damage streched the metal like crazy all over the center of the roof, so it was oll canning like crazy, 3. I was taught as a young lad to work the metal until it’s as perfect as it can be, then use a little bondo (can’t work the metal if I am not at the metal).
A shorter and probably better version would be, what Ding said, haha.
Good deal Wydir, I like it.
Oustanding,you look like you have a bright future to me!!! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the pics, they always inspire me to be better!!!
Good deal Dag, glad to see you’re not too busy with work and still get to play with large toys.
:welc , glad to have you around.
Same here 🙂 :cheer:
Welcome!!!
Everyone has a different setting for their style of painting, but 18-20 psi seems to be the sweet spot for me when shooting metallic and 20-22 seems to be best for clear with a slightly less than wide open fan and full open fluid. I am an enthusiast though, so whatever I say must be taken with a grain of salt since I probably paint in a different way than people who have bee properly trained (I just got OJT training over multiple years).
Enjoy the ride!!!
