Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Freaking beautiful. Always love seeing great metal working and welding happening as it seems to be lost on so many people. You really ARE going old school with the leading! Curious to see how that works with todays paint products.

In the spirit of 'git er dun' I plug welded these covers over the factory ebarake holes rather than my standard flush install (it will be under the carpet for God's sake)

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
FF, what kind of welder do you use for those button welds? They look great!
I used a stud puller and bondo for the first time on this one. Only had to weld 3 tiny patches. |

Just a quick update to show the color as promised. This is Raptor Liner tinted with the blue that will be used for the body. More detailed pics later (have to prep for a BBQ now).

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Looks amazing! Good luck with the paint!
All the original trim going back on it? Anything special in store for it?

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
Thanks. I'm still planning to use all the trim with red between and a black top as original. I've been considering using the red from the audi RS badges.

Re: '66 Sunbeam Minx Project - F20C/6sp/4-link/Discs...
its amazing when you look at the amount of work done on the body , once the paint is on there you have to look real hard to see the actual work thats been done , it looks like a stock car with a set of aftermarket rims untill you look closer
