Hate it when you run outa clamps and adhesive ... thought I'd be able to get both the dash and rear filler panel bonded, NOT enough clamps or super glue .








Oh well there's tomorrow ...

Just for the future you could of used or can use less clamps and use a piece of flat bar under each clamp to spread out the clamp load area.

Looking beautiful. I'm glad your car is coming together so fast now.

Hey thanks! Yeah, I used flat stock on the mini-tubs to spread out the clamping force, however, I didn't have anything narrower than 3" for the dash top, besides there isn't much flat on the top!!

Just an FYI, the adhesive sticks to bare metal so you must ensure your clamps are at least zinc coated or painted, or wrap your bar stock with plastic wrap, or best ... clamps with plastic bases as shown!!

Thanks for looking ...

Check that off the list ...








Next is the tunnel mods and then Lizard skin and paint the bottom. Thanks for looking ...

Mike, it's just one of those things you acquire when you're building a car from scratch. Who is doing your paint work?


And .... sometimes you have to improvise when bonding like holding down the pan plugs with dumbells!

The old girl is really starting to come together Michael. Great work!

#1 --- I'm glad to see you didn't give up the pink weights you usually work out with.


#2 --- Like I told Rudy every weekend for 16 months..... DUDE! Pick up a tool and do something with it.... this crap don't build themselves.


#3 --- Waiting nightly - like some around here do - for the elves to show up and finish it at night while you're sleeping.... Well yeah.... You'll end up with a very nice box holder.


Glad to see you're banging it out! Looks great!

Thanks Greg! Sometimes I'm cuz there is so much to do and then I make a goal for that day or weekend and just !!!

All you have to do is pick up a tool ... thanks for looking!

Michael, looking great, is bonding the metal stronger/equal to welding ? or do you plan to weld some also? I think this is the first time I've seen anyone bond a lot of metal parts together on one of these cars.
Thanks
