Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Speaking of "What's Next", I have to post this. Last week, Vanderbilt beat Tennessee - which is a big rivalry, and pretty rare for Vandy to win. Andrew my son is in a Vanderbilt fraternity whose frat house is next to the stadium exit. In the video, Andrew stands on the column on the left and runs off in the end. This is a must watch - (they are yelling "what's next, what's next")

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Amazing progress! The paint booth brings back old memories - I primed and painted more than a few cars, a boat and a couple of trailers in a similar setup although I also rented time in a proper booth occasionally. I rolled up and stapled a 1x2 at the bottom of the plastic so it sat a little tighter on the floor, and wet the floor before spraying for dust control. When I wasn't painting I rolled each side up to the ceiling and held it there (bungees? Can't remember that part). Also always used a ground strap which is probably still a good idea to get rid of static electricity. I used to shoot some flake and metallics and they didn't lay down right w/o a good ground.
Looking forward to more progress!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
After I wrapped up the frame last month, I've been chiseling off undercoating for weeks! The rotisserie sure makes that a ton easier. I also got to examine close up my rocker install that I had laid on my back to fit and install. It left a lot to be desired, so I cut it back loose again and refit it. Looks MUCH straighter now and its so much easier to weld standing up at eye level!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Drew I don't know if you have one, but those Harbor Freight pneumatic gasket scrapers make removing undercoating a breeze!!plus they come with a few different changeable blades and only $20. The Buick is really coming along!
Have a good one! Ben

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I don't but I was using a Milwaukee scrape blade in my Sawzall which works well to get the big stuff, but to big and wild acting to get in every nook and cranny. It's done now!!!

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Looks good, does that give you the ability to install a keyless entry system from the camaro?

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
Not sure about keyless entry - if I have to have a large keyfob, not really interested. It does have the electric lock solenoids still, so I know I could do electric locks. I'm sure I could do most anything aftermarket. Remote start might be a fun gimmick.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
I Win!
Bride of Frankenstein - you will come alive. It may take a while, but I'll get you rolling -safely- again. Here you can see the secondary pin that the slot on the jamb plate engages. It now opens and closes effortlessly, now I just need to finish the drivers side jamb and weld up all the little holes and little pieces of sheet metal that close it up. Primer and weatherproof the inside of the door after that, then weld the inner door panel back in. And then a million other things.

Re: Bride of Young Frankenstein - 1957 Buick Super
So cool Drew.. I love your level of detail and planning on the fabrication side of things with your builds. Taking something old and improving it with today's technology is a cool as it gets in my book...
Nice progress Marc
