Quickest way to clean all the dust and trash in preparation for primer.

Epoxy primer here we come.

That rotisserie really does look handy! Do you have a stud welder?

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Rotis is the bomb!!! No studwelder.

Saturday night picture time!

I never knew getting the tub in primer would be such a big deal!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Finally!

Epoxy primer is very sticky! Using my old primer gun was OK but the thick and chunky epoxy did not want to lay down well. Just primer though and I'll be working every inch with 60 years worth of dents.

I forgot - you win the award for name that song! Free ride in the Buick, but you'll have to come here to get it unless you are on the Hot Rod Power Tour route one year.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

I was going to suggest getting a stud welder if you didn't have one already but man that thing looks pretty darn straight now that's it's in primer. (The pictures could be deceiving though)

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Nice to see it reach the primer stage.

Just when you start thinking its looking nice.......

Time for the seam sealer!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Looking good!

What are your plans for the underside, Lizard Skin or Raptor Liner, etc....?


:uhmk:

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Al's bedliner like I used on Young Frankie. Tomorrow!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Wow this project is moving so fast it's like you don't even go to work!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Biz did most of the seam sealing! She's back home from Clemson.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Saturday Night Picture Time cuz, well.... it's Saturday.

Killed it with the Al's Bedliner. The first kit I used was just enough to cover it with one coat, but I wanted it thicker and to have better texture. So the second coat I cranked up the air pressure to 75 psi and barely pulled the trigger to allow any material to flow out. That made it very fine spittage out of the gun. Coupled that with adding a pint of play sand in the mixture for even more texture. Exactly the look I was going for and makes the bottom look brand new. The last undercoating picture is of the metal reinforcing bracket I made and welded in to attach the outboard seatbelt to. Remember that one?

Then I started blocking out the 1st coat of primer to find my dents. Starting on Bondo tomorrow.

Looks great under there and will never rust again .

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Looks super Drew...Jim

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

That looks very nice! Play sand you say? That is interesting.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

From Lowes. It was listed as an option on the Al's website for a slip resistant finish.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

I know a guy that rehabs old houses that mixes play sand in paint for outside steps and it works great .

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
 

Looking good!
