To answer one question. Google has a fleet of Priuses that are armed with 360 degree camera arrays and they just drive around..lol

Strodder, I'm going to use your idea for the drip rails. I have to metal finish mine anyhow and didn't want to shave them. I like the look a lot.

Thanks, When you do it lets see some pictures. I need to finish mine, but I'm in Oceanside right now relaxing near the beach. See that's why I never have time. If I'm not working, I'm playing.

I was able to get to street wiew, but I couldn't figure out how to save it.

Dennis, I like what you are doing with the driprails. Mine are rusted away at a few spots and I haven't come up with a good idea, but I think yours just might do the trick. Anymore pictures of your progress would be appreciated

As soon as I have a free minute, or should I say hours, I'll finish it. With pictures too.

1964C10 · 08-09-2009, 12:01 PM

Thanks Dennis! Now for the technical stuff. Where you hammered it down there is a very thin air gap I would assume, are you worried about rust in there at a later date? I know you are welding over it and stuff, I am just curious?

I don't think there will be any problems with rust up here in the high desert. But with a skim coat, and primer sealer should keep it dry in there. Especially after I paint it.

1964C10 · 08-09-2009, 12:11 PM

That makes sense. So if I am understanding how this is going to look, after you are done welding you are going to bondo up and blend into the crown of the roof panel right?

Right. BTW I'm going to add a strip of metal across the rear drip rail, and not hammer it down. I will blend the sides into the back.

1964C10 · 08-09-2009, 12:19 PM

I think I see what you are saying. I can't wait to see the finally outcome. I don't think I have ever seen this done before, but it should give it a nice custom look!

I got the idea from the 46 Studebaker truck I use to have. The drip rails were flared like that stock. When the drip rails are shaved off clean it doesn't look finished. With the flare done it gives it style, and still has that custom clean look.

Good to know, that was going to be my first way of doing it. Thanks for the tip!

nice read sofar , i have witnessed a tank being sealed with the gas still in it
wat happened that someone mounting a towhook drilled trough the floor intoo it
they used a sanded copper coin and a huge electric soldering iron , it worked great

another trick i heared about was hooking a hose up to a car exaust and let the engine run while welding it up

Thanks, I heard about that one a long time ago. It works

1964C10 · 08-13-2009, 10:28 AM

Dennis for a good part cleaner I use "Krud Kutter" from Lowe's supposed to mix it 10:1 but 1:1 it really works well removing thick layers of grease, just melts it, just FYI if you are looking for something stronger.

watahyahknow · 08-13-2009, 11:24 AM

hmmmmm yes please
