      That car's so lite & small I'm wondering what good it's going to do moving the rear forward 8 inches? It seems it would make it even more unstable than it already is.

      • I guess you can always call the car "getting squirrely"

          I do believe the front axle will be moved up about 4" if not more

            "Getting Squirrely" still has a nice ring to it

                  Jim what was the technique tools you used to get something that old that clean and still leave the original primer? Amazing results.

                  • I used some secret tricks, learned from a friend who's been doing this stuff for several decades. Propane torch, putty knife, scrape most of it off. Then use gasoline and steel wool to get most of the rest off. Then we'll scuff it with something like reducer or lacquer thinner and scotchbrite before shooting on more primer on the bottom. Inside the car I'll probably spend a while using bondo and sanding, and a couple coats of primer to smooth it out.

                    In other words, it's just a lot of damn work.

                    • I was going to say in your half finished picture you didn't post you can see what appears to be a gasoline can next to it. That is a lot of damn work but at least it looks damn good!

                          • That's it Neal! That's Jim's secret! He's got a freaking army of working robots - no wonder he gets this stuff done so fast!

                              • Gasoline didn't used to burn my skin - but now it does, not sure if I've gotten alergic to it, or it's the ethanol that didn't used to be in it.
                                Working in a well ventilated area sure is easy when you can work outside this time of year!

                                Keep working safely Jim - don't want to hear about this project or you going up in smoke from gas fumes!
