Big Time Motors 510 new project clean up
the car came in on monday night and we tore it apart tuesday along with a parts car. the parts car left on a tow truck at the end of tuesday to go to a new home and get picked for what was left. today we cut the rust open, stripped the rest of the car, torched out all of the broken bolts and glass blasted the entire front clip, rockers, rear wheel well lips, tail light panel, trunk compartment, door and window jams, door surrounds, wiper cowl and front valance. lots of work done in two days. more pics of the car blasted, paint stripped and epoxy tomorrow night. here is how it looked yesterday.

Re: Big Time Motors 510 new project clean up
here is the car today. we glass beaded it yesterday and did all of the paint stripping today. we also gave it some rust mort on a few spots that had tiny rust spots that we didnt want to grind. the rust mort will sit over night then we will wash it, buff the areas then epoxy prime all of the bare metal on the entire car. we will then start the metal replacement.

Re: Big Time Motors 510 new project clean up
yes that's a lewis car. he spotted the car just off of Bridgeport near Ikea and waited for something like four hours for the owner to get back to his dime. also there was a pair of calipers wired up on the front end...ya they were spanking new and never had fluid in them before the car was parked

i scrubbed all of the rust mort off today and d/a'd the car with 80 grit and scotch brite. i also stripped the roof today. i then sprayed it with epoxy and called it a day. tomorrow i get to put new injector seals in my diesel, fun stuff.

Re: Big Time Motors 510 new project clean up
the epoxy is just a coating to protect the metal while we do the welding and straightening out of the body. we dont like to leave anything in raw metal for more than two days maximum or it starts to rust up. we taped off the areas that will get welding and will just sand back the areas that will get metal work or filler. the epoxy will need to be sanded before it get a top coat of high build primer for proper adhesion. we start the metal replacement, panel bashing and floor clean up on monday.
