PROPELLER Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks guys! The come back, in slow motion... I hear the question: openable the rumble seat? The answer is: No! Some pieces (modified of course) of the sedan will be used... Not without difficulties! Dan. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Nice to see you back on this one. That top will ask a lot of modifications, I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In French I don't know the word, so in English... Little detail above the door, lot of hours, and it's difficult to see it on the pics! Just happiness... May be on this one? Or...

PROPELLER Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Firstly I have to thanks my technical dictionary... Always here, thanks Mr C! Well, nothing spectacular, but some hours are on this: I'm not so far... Dan. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Dan, I just found this build so I've now caught up and I'm very impressed indeed. A beautiful thing, beautifully crafted. On some cars with a rumble seat, you stepped onto the rear bumper, and there was then a plate/step on top of the rear mudguard. Otherwise access is difficult, especially for Mother in laws! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you invite her on a rainy day! Result guaranteed. Sunny day today. But working on the roof an wings. As you can see, some putty was needed: Profile looks good, after some hours. Wings. No glue at home, even on plastic parts. Strength is my obsession... When bolts and nuts can't be used, riveting with aluminum rivets. Yellow arrow, heads inside, red, heads outside...

PROPELLER Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 Still alive! For the moment... Painting, sanding, painting, sanding and this not the end! First step on the achievement of the doors too. It's incredible, but for the junction roof/body, you can't immagine hours number spent. As usual, at home nothing is only glued. You can see here somme "rivets". Of course this piece is not finished... Dan. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver911 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Ok...I get you want strength Dan...I often use metal parts to reinforce plastic as you know...but...how do you fix the rivets?...is there a rivet gun that small !

PROPELLER Posted October 23, 2020 Author Share Posted October 23, 2020 My fans are still there, thanks! To Ron, I said "rivets" but they are not. My method: First CA glue. Then, it's plastic, drill 0,7mm and without thread, screw with 0,8mm bolt. Cut the head, sanding, it's done and indestructible... PROPELLER's copyright, just free for you!

PROPELLER Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Thanks guys! In "slow motion" there is "motion" isn't? No comment.... It's the first "finition" paint layer. This grey will be the color, and don't expect a super shiny... Dan. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyb258 Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 I'd say that your finish looks flawless, as it stands, Dan.... super-smooth, with just about the right level of shine. If it was me, I'd be tempted to leave it alone through mortal fear of screwing up the next coat...... Cheers, H 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouln Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Well Dan, with your work, it is becoming normal to expect the outrageous abnormal. That top as well as the doors look fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PROPELLER Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Thank you gentlemen, again... I had to forget a moment sanding, paint and painters. So, today, Air conditioning system version 1930'... Unfinished! Dry fit to evaluate the arm length in situ... Thanks Mr Helle for the controller!
