evil zee project update

[evilzee28]

Here's a close up of the rusty holes around the rear screen aperture. Because it's hard to get body panels here in Britain I decided to cut it all out & weld in new steel.

here's the new formed steel being tacked into place.

All seam welded up ready for the lead loading/body soldering.

There was rust around the joint between the 1/4 & hinge panel, so I cut out the rust, formed a new piece & welded in a new section.

The car originally had a vinyl roof, which when removed showed very badly pitted/corroded steel. I decided to lead load/body solder these sections to build the steel thickness back up to original.

lead has been applied & then filed smooth.

The hinge panel being leaded & then the finished item having been filed smooth.

Here's an update on how things are going. The roof had a lot of corrosion across the front, so it was cut out & new metal welded in. That was then leaded ready for primer

the cross ram airfilter arrived from the US last week

An epoxy primer was sprayed over the whole shell & then a tinted 2K primer over that.
