PROJECT CARS/TRUCKS / Re: 1970 Oldsmobile 442ish Cutlass
« Last post by Der Bugmeister on March 27, 2024, 08:11:26 PM »
Applied the second coat of epoxy then got the car "flat" and spun around so the body and chassis are both oriented in the same direction.  I'm giving the epoxy some time to harden before I set the body down on blocks and remove the rotisserie.  Then I'll have to clean/paint the contact points I couldn't do with the rotisserie in place, spray the firewall a semigloss black and the body will be ready to lower onto the chassis.

While I'm waiting for the epoxy to harden, it's time to get the chassis cleaned up and ready for the reunion.  Brake lines need to be connected and tightened, which also includes fabricating new frame brackets for the front flex lines because (of course) the new fitting are smaller than the factory holes in the originals. 

Also picked up my fuel lines and fittings today so we'll get that all plumbed up too.  That stuff is NOT cheap, let me tell ya!

Yeah it's really nicely balanced and seems very powerful for it's size.

I have the little 7.2v version for about 3 years. I am constantly surprised at its power and capability.

i have a 20v dewalt string trimmer and blower. neither my gas powered blower or trimmer have run since.

both are good tools but the string trimmer is just so conveniant.  quiet, light and no fooling. walk from tree to tree to post to garage only squeezing the trigger when you need it.  no more fooling with starting or stopping it.

no it is not a brush cutter but i consider a trimmer and brush cutter different tools.

I had fairly good luck with the old plasti-dip.  Came in different colors, but did have to let them hang to dry for awhile. 
Did you fold in the ends of the heat shrink before melting?  No matter, they look great!

It's definitely worth a shot. It's cheap, got good grip, comes in all sorts of sizes and colors, and easy to slice off and redo if you don't like how it looks.
