Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Haha, ya I wish! That's like 3 hours of work! I know it doesn't look like much, but I welded in several more holes and did a TON of grinding and hammer/dolly work.
Yes I plan on posting "after" pics once it's all clean. |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
FF,
Watching that made me think of an old Govt. experiment where they would put the monkey in a cage and have him doing stupid pet tricks!! lol.... But hey, it's paying off, the project is looking awesome.. Time for me to come see it in person, and get some grind time of my own.. ![]()

Been kinda milking this firewall clean up... There were a sh!t-ton of holes! Well they are all filled now and I'm finishing up the grinding/smoothing. Also built a stand for my tube bender, shrinker/stretcher, bead roller, and sand bag.

I don't believe the firewall is smooth because you didn't post a picture

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
![]() I do have some grainy night cell pics of the tool stand. I was planning to show it off after I add some mandrel hangers and paint it. But here you go. The natural question will be; can you use them all mounted like that? The answer is; I positioned everything to allow me to use them for smaller jobs with everything on there. For bigger stuff I can always remove one or more of the tools. To use the sandbag obviously all tools will be removed. I may just end up building another one for that. What you see peeking out from the left side of the second pic is the oven I picked up on craigslist for powdercoating ![]() Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 09-02-2009 at 12:54 AM. |

Looks good man. I got my setup from Caswell Plating. Bought powder through them too. I'll have to check out your suggestion.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
I know it's past midnight but I just came in from the shop after a full day of working on the DriftBeam! It may not look like a a ton of progress but I wrapped up a lot of little things and have the PS S2000 rail section in it's final position and partially welded in. Before doing that I had a bunch of welding to do on that piece to fill holes and improve rigidity.
This was the only rust-thru spot I've found anywhere on the car. I opened it up back to good metal and sprayed the cavity with Rust Reformer: ![]() Welded up: ![]() Like it never happened: ![]() Firewall "before" (some holes already closed in this pic): ![]() Same area now: ![]() Driver's side with only the essential holes remaining: ![]() Full effect: ![]() |
