you're a brave man.....

 

Still, I've done plenty with old hammers and bits of wood... the wood is just right for pushing but not putting sharp dents in the surface.

 

With a fibreglass car like that you wouldn't want to be around in a crash!

I wouln't wanna be in a crash in any car from the 70s....unless its a volvo! I read your post on that rally car u got that was all messed up, good read! I checked all the strut towers and box sections underneath the car and they are all not deformed. This car had plenty of small accidents because it was driven by a 90yr old granny but nothing that deformed the geometry just cosmetic damage.

You should call this the Bogrolla.

Hahaha was actually thinking the same thing!

[Kirill]

Pretty proud of this fender! I should go study fine arts majoring in sculpture :P

 

 

More slow progress.........

Do you have an orbital sander?

Do you have an orbital sander?

Yup! Tried out today but the disk kept fouling up with paint, so once I get paid this week I will buy a coarser disk I think.

[B.L.Z.BUB]

Pretty shit situation. I painted my car with so many layers of $2 rattle can matt black then a 2 pak on top then the guy I sold it to sanded it back (not deep enough to take off the matt) then put a $1000 paint job on top.

Yeah it is, I got the car for free so I can't complain, can't weld and don't have a workshop so I can't really fix her up properly with rust cutting out n welding n all that so I'm just doing best I can to bring her back to life and looking not perfect but respectable. I just want it to drive nice not really bothered if the body looks dodgy, so once i shoot some brown paint on it I'm thinking a carby rebuild kit, head service (guides, springs, seals) perhaps new piston rings and street cam. I like the 4 speed cause I'm lazy and don't like changing gears LOL

If you have to cover holes are you using the fibreglass bog? Then the plastic bog on top?

[Kirill]

Nah just what I had lying around, plastic bog. But once i get paid I might buy a fibreglass kit and cover the bogged spathes with it over the top.

ya can get kahglass, its bog with fibres in it, very strong for holes and stuff, lol, as some1 already said, don't wet rub ya bog, OR bare metal, it will flash rust real quick, the way i see it, your spending your time and money on this thing, hek, why not make good of it?? that way your not wasting your money and time, I'm not saying make it a show car, but you could make a real nice streeter with simple tools and materials,

try going to your local library, sign up (its free), and get some books on bodywork and spray painting, a good 1 which i have is "how to paint your showcar", its awesome, explains everything in dumbass terms, lol, heaps and heapos of pics, in color too, search for things like custom spraypainting and authors like, jon kosmoski (founder of house of kolor!!), timothy remus, eddie paul, they all have fantastic books, you will learn heaps and heaps, that's how i learnt, and don't be scared of asking questions, I'm sure my local paint shop guys quiver when i call or go in, lol

i now do heaps of spraypainting and even make money from it,

stick to it and its very rewarding, go buy yourself a couple of good sanding blocks, search for velocity, i have a heap of the flexi foam blocks from these guys, they are awesome, you can customise them to suit your needs and are cheap as!!

a workquip spraygun from ebay with 3 tips for around $80 is a great starting point, i use 1 for my primer, great value

anyways, enough dribbling for now, keep up the great work
