So following a good old blocking session last Saturday I’ve actually now started the primer stage,
I’m trying out a new twist on 2k this is apparently a hybrid 2k and has some kind of epoxy additive so it dries with a proper sheen,
I guess in a decent workshop one probably would appreciate the ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Virtually finished the gapping now , just the nose panel to finish off, this is being a right pain, stripped it twice and twice it’s moved and cracked after about a month?
Tried two different epoxy’s neither worked,
I’ve been trying to follow guidelines from the US but obviously I can’t get the ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Well I’ve finally managed to fully align the front end metal,
Still got a few small tweaks to make but overall it’s pretty sharp,
I’m currently about 6 months behind schedule so looking very unlikely it’ll be done this year,
Ces’t la vie

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Yep I’m captain slow as well, :D
I think I’ll forget about the motor for a month or two
Concentrate on getting the body fully level and in epoxy
Once this is done I can pull it apart and start getting it ready for colour
To be honest I’ve been messing around with the motor as I’ve almost nothing ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Haha cheers son
I’ll be honest it’s seriously testing my patience,
The way the cars built is basically a nightmare,
Much more difficult to restore than a comparable Mopar,
The shell structure is very strong, but factor in the daft front subframe and front quarters that support the huge bonnet and ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
So managed to get the right hand side gapped,
Quite pleased and a lite skim and block is all that’s required
And talking of blocks been prepping my motor,
All looking good so far,

Re: And another RHD Barracuda…
That’s very nice, un corroded old cars are are hens teeth !
One of the main reasons I like the TA,
I actually regret doing the full Monty now,
I should have got it running ok, then driving ok and just used it ,
A tatty hood and slightly ragged quarters wouldn’t have made any difference to the way it ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Fabulous son !
I’ve finally managed to complete my mission on the front lower !
Actually turned out pretty well really,
Glad I drop the angle to, the blunt look is nice and blends with the surrounding panels,

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Thank you praise indeed!
Not sure I’m in that league now [-X
But back in the day I turned out a few XKE’s that were pretty good!
I’ve watched a few too, not 100% sure about that Mark Wormen gezzer though, but I suppose that’s all par for the course with US produced content,
But they do have some ...

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Finally got the lower front end spoiler squared
Ready for polyester and final levelling,
This will require zero sealer so will be an easy unbolt removal if required,

Re: My very last restoration!!!
Back on the Turd again,
Almost finished my lower front bib,
This has been a mission but reasonable confident it’ll look good once completed,
Next quarter to door gapping,
Going to have to be creative with this project,
Body sewage alignment is acceptable but square angles are rubbish,
Oh the joys ...
