With a name like "picklex" I would have thought you would put cucumbers in it....
While the 'beam is on the rotissifier, you may look into doing a spray on bedliner or such to the underside. We did that on a Monte Carlo we took off the frame, worked like buttah! |

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
its not the stuff i was talking about , i am however wondering wat would happen if you leave some metal submerged in the stuff (like inside some boxsection ) , it looks like its some sort of acid that could keep eating away at the metal

Looks interesting. Need to do some more checking into it.
Rust is definitely an issue on anything lying around down here very long.

You may have said and I forgot or overlooked it- are you going to strip the car to bare metal?

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Well, no pics but so far so good with the Picklex. It does remove surface/flash rust very well. Not sure about the long term protection and all the other claims yet. Time will tell...

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
i seen sumtin else that worked well on truckcabs two big L shaped pieces made from box steel that bolted intoo the chassismount holes
you put it on the floor and just push it over to work on the bottom , its a whole lot cheaper and simpler to make than a rotissery this might work too

Very clean seam sealer. I may have to steal that trick myself. Nice work.

I saw that trick on one of the Powerblock shows a few years back. Highly recommend it!
LOVE this build btw. You do amazing work that makes me cry as I realize how truly poor everything I do is! -Panelrodder

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
by the way if youre tired of ripping youre finger on ragged edges of the metal while smoothing the bead of sealant you could use a round brush with the hairs taped up to about 2/3th of the way it presses the chaulk in further too

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
he needs to clearcoat the metalfinish itself , leaving the metalwork and welding visible , i bet there would be a lot of techheads and sheetmetalworkers who would like to see what's done to the car or how he did a perticulair job when he shows the car off
