Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
:-) Little bit rusty but below strong american steel. I'm happy.
Several paints and rost lockers are not allowed in Germany by law, therefore my favorite: 1. Owatrol oil (Rost stopper) 2. Brantho Korrux nitrofest (under coat) 3. Sealer Korroflex 4. Minimum 2 layers Brantho Korrux nitrofest 5. Alkydharzlack (Alkyd resin varnish) 6. Klarlack (clear varnish) In the last picture Owatrol already done.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Clear vanish added, paint preparation (taping) was not precise enough- that means time saved on the beginning and lost by factor 3 on the end, a lot of work. Will do more accurate next time.
For spray and first job the result looks good. Color is 526 Ivory (also of-white and Cameo white)

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Was starting to make some measurements on my motor, found out that I need a gauge with thread not rubber as it is not enough comfortable for me.
Spark plug #4 is oily, all others good bud maybe a little bit to lean (more white than brown color). GAP is 0.035". Compression between 11-13 bar, but measurment will be done again with different gauge (with thread).

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
The hard work of preparation has paid off. Congratulations on a job well done! The roof paint really looks great.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Some small issues during removing of the old hard tape, next time I will remove it in intermediate steps, but in general not bad for the first time.

Great man, looks perfect.
Regarding car wash is a fake I washed by myself, but took a picture from a big truck wash advertisement.

Re: My 1968 C-20 Golden Anniversary Project
Today arrived the air cleaner housing from classic industries. Not bad for a replica, I guess.
