Actual work. Some still needs detailing. I'll let the images do the talking. You'll get the idea...

mcmlxix · 04-01-2014, 02:28 AM

...the attention to detail is amazing...

Oh wow! you are killing it on filling the seams. Very nice! they are just disappearing.
Dropping the TIG on this project? I know that took a bunch of time. Keep the pictures coming.

Frizzle Fry · 04-01-2014, 11:07 AM

Thanks guys. Now I see seams everywhere and the fenders are welded on anyway...

Still just the mig (some of those beads did lay very flat). I have some of the Eastwood lead-free body solder I may have to finally put to use here.

Frizzle Fry · 04-02-2014, 05:00 PM

Thanks guys. More to come this weekend.

And to think---it all started from typing "classic" into a Craigslist search!

67ChevyRedneck · 04-03-2014, 01:34 PM

INSANE! If I ever win the lottery I'm sending all my toys to one of only a few people on this board... you'd be near, or at, the top of the list if you'd take them! (Don't hold your breath on that, I don't even buy tickets)

Is there a way to search the "most viewed" threads on this board? This baby has hit over HALF A MILLION TIMES!!!

You'd have to pay me enough that I can quit my job and focus on the important stuff!

Wow, lost track of the view count there. Most of those come from backlinks from other forums/sites I'm sure.

Thanks Low Elco. I'm surprised no one has call me on my previous statement of "no body mods." With the welded seams the statement has morphed into "subtle/tasteful body mods"

Very nice work Frizzle! Your welding skill are what I dream of being able to do someday.

67ChevyRedneck · 04-08-2014, 02:02 PM

I don't know... those doors look kinda small... might need to make a little suicide door that opens for the back ala the old Saturn ions... You should be able to knock that out in a few hours, right?

Frizzle Fry · 06-06-2014, 01:00 PM

Damn, it's getting nasty up in here.

work has taken over...! Here are some leading pics:

ajgriffin · 06-06-2014, 01:38 PM

That looks amazing! How does the process work? How's the solder get applied and smoothed?

Frizzle Fry · 06-06-2014, 01:42 PM

Here you go -->http://youtu.be/gX5YjrsD_Pg

ajgriffin · 06-06-2014, 03:50 PM

This guy is awesome. I love the product demo's he does. Was this your first time using lead/solder?

watahyahknow · 06-06-2014, 04:07 PM

lead .... at least in the quantities hes aplying it is better than bondo , it protects the metal underneat from rusting unlike bondo thats slightly porious and can hold water in under the paint
the only reason bondo took over is because its eazier to work with
when lead is aplied too thick it will crack over time , the term leadsleds comes from the leadwork moulding the creators used before painting

im alergic to epoxy (main ingredient in bondo) and i would love to learn to work with lead that way

mcbassin · 06-06-2014, 04:22 PM

Looking good Frizz

Frizzle Fry · 06-07-2014, 02:01 AM

Yeh, first time leading. Went pretty smooth. I could have used more (any) solder paste on the wooden paddles. I'll be doing more leading soon. Been working on the front fender to rocker seams

Thanks for the continued interest guys.
