The start of the new project. The German Look is sold

I think that might be a little to much
5 is what im leaning towards.

Anyone know where one can get POR-15 locally? And a quart should do what I need to do. Is it still around $40 per quart?

Also seam sealer for the pans. Need some . Where to get it locally?

Use black paintable Silicone II by GE. I use it on my seams on the pans and as long as the metal is dry, oil free and clean it will seal and stay on. Make a wide bead like you were mig welding.

Just ran down to the Garage to check the can, and it was $44.95. 1 quart should cover the whole pan.

Thanks Eric
Thats what i was thinking. I have a guy here that will sell me a quart for 40$. Think I will take him up on it.
Thanks
Eric

Got the pans totally finished. The front beam is at BKR and Lindy is building my drop spindles. Should have all that back next week some time.
Going with the split case tranny and later model brakes.
Here are a few pics

Eric, your pan looks great. Excellent job on the pan halfs!

Thanks Allan. Got the mounts all installed, Got the rear spring plates raised 2 clicks so she will ride low. Also got the tranny all cleaned up and painted along with putting on the new boots.

Ok time to update. A lot has been going on. When I registered for BAP it said 46 days till Bug A Paluza.
That was like a slap in the face. Seeing that 4 of those days i will be out of town and then add in my days i work at the firehouse. That leaves me approx 32 days to have the car running and ready for the trip. Needless to say its crunch time again. I did this last year with the yellow German Look SB.
Here are a few picks of the progress. The pan will be complete Sunday after lunch. Just shoes and drums need to be put on. Take a look and if you find the urge to come help call me up or send me a PM

this car is gonna be sick. Can't wait to see it together.

eric i can help u this week maybe wedsday the earliest?

Looks great. The bow in the bowden tube looks a little excessive though.

Coming along nicely!

Thats what i was thinking. Need to see what i need to do to relax it.

Kyle Wed or Thursday would be good. I got some things today to get inside the hood all cleaned up and painted so I can start on the wiring this week

Are you painting it or just leaving the Patina?

If time permits i will do a black on the bottom faded in to the patina on the top. Might just leave it. A lot of work to do before i think of paint.

Want to help? LOL

No paint needed...that patina is prefect

Where did you get the wiring harness from?

From Lindy Wiring Works
He said it is the best one he has ever seen
or used

Tow it down to Reynolds and we can have a work session!

I need two more smooth wheels. Anybody?
