I need to refine my process before I decide to produce these things for re-sale...They were very time consuming, and I'm not sure that anyone would be willing to pay for the time that I had into these...but I am pretty sure that if I had more FREE-TIME, I may be able to figure out a quicker way to produce them... |

I gotta figure out a way to get some programs wrote for these... Quote:
P.S. thought about the whole video thing, and I really think it's cool, but because I already work 60+ hours normally, I don't know where I would find the time to do it....But it would be very cool... |

I decided to restore my cowl-vents this week. They were looking pretty shabby to say the least! I had ordered new gaskets a while back, and I thought that now was as good of a time as any to rebuild them.
I thought that I could just drill out the rivets that held the two halves of the vent door together, slip in the new gasket, and pop-rivet them back together...It wasn't until I had sandblasted the heck out of them, that I noticed that they also had six spot-welds holding them together....Change of plans!!! I then decided that I would simply trim the old gaskets off, then use contact cement to adhere the new gaskets to the back side of the vent doors...Maybe this is how everyone repairs these, I don't know. I think they turned out pretty nice! Take a look! First the before pics! |

Seriously! the Vents look new out of the box from 50 years ago.

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!
Nice job as usual. Any updated pics on the body parts? i have been really trying to get my frame done but feel like I'm not getting anywhere. Can't wait to get into the body work and watch it take change. The more times I read through your build I want to ditch my chrome rear bumper do a roll pan and use my front bumper and paint to match instead of buying a new chrome front bumper.

I've been following your build since you started your thread. You do some great work. The vents came out great. Something I still need to tackle. Keep it up. I'm a fan. :metal:

Been with you since the start sir, and you never fail to produce !! Nicely done. Mine were not in bad shape at all, so I did not tackle them. |

Re: My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project!

Since my buddy/painter has been a bit busy with his own priorities, and I have been too overwhelmed at work lately to even think about it. I decided that in my spare-time, of which I have none, I would fab-up some items that I really didn't document very well the first time around.
I am not going to tell what they are, but as the process progresses, I am sure that you will figure it out..... Here are some pics! I will be posting more pics shortly! |

Note: You need to be real careful when applying them with contact cement, because if you position them wrong, you will not get them off without destroying them! Quote:
