We don't recommend panel sealer for this but, we do use a good bead of rtv sealer to stop vibration. They say something about the different expansion rates of the steel versus aluminum.

Hey, I have applied all the aluminum work for the chassis and my hands and forearms are numb. but here take a look at what I have now. I put every one of those rivets in by hand.

Now when the RTV hardens I will clean up the oozing goo. I hate to tell you all, I don't think the tunnel is going to come out quietly. This ought to be interesting, Later.

absolutely awesome... its starting to look really nice.. i would have bought a cheap pneumatic pop-riveter.... but respect for doing it by hand!!

I just found this. read through the whole thread in one sitting. Very ice work. I look foreward to seeing the finished product.

very nice.
thanks rick k:thumbsup:

This is inspiring me to get my butt back in the garage. Great work!!!

What about some of the panel glues that are meant to bond steel to aluminum?

Shiny Side Up!

She's almost a Roller
 

Well, life is dealing me the same cards as always fair to crappy, we all know how much fun the center section was to deal with well I put that all behind me went to put it in the car and bam the damn thing hit the frame seems that interchangeable parts don't always interchange. that meant I had to surgically alter the frame after powder coat yuck! Well a day and more cutting grinding and welding later finally can say she's almost a roller.

Now I suppose I should go around and tighten all the bolts but I'll wait till I can get someone over here to hold the other end of the tape measure so I can square her up.
