Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 1969 Roadrunner revival

thanks for showing the spot-weld procedure Dave! Is every spot-weld seam leaded, regardless of manufacturer (would my 69 GTO require similar procedure)?

Bench grinders, hand-held, die-grinders- there are those who have been bitten, and those will...
It's a good thing the angry feller didn't take your nipple.
Didn't Foxworthy tell of such a story once?

Dunno bout white, but chin up, Dave. Am confident you can fab up a new areola and tint to match.

dave,

If it didn't take it completely off and leaves a little round scar, does that mean you are ready for a Friends remake since you could be a stunt double for Ross?

Now yer talkin'!

Solid color.

I don't know who makes it but I saw a kick butt graphinte color in a magazine once (wanna say PPG). Always said I'd love to do a graphinte car with black accents.

Was looking at a 69.5 Roadrunner today with a 440 and 6 pack and factory fiberglass lift off hood. Purple. Blahhh. Like your choice much better.

The lead thing used to be reserved for open panel seams.

More of a common knowledge "lead seam" is the sail panel where the top of the quarter meets the roof cap. It's a lead solder seam, the sail panel is the best known but they used lead where the rockers meet the quarter and also where the A-pillars reached down to the cowl on many cars from that erra.

I melt it out if I can (if it needs to come apart) instead of grinding, lead dust in your lungs is probably bad.


69 GTO would be put together much the same, but no you wouldn't have to cook the lead out unless you had to do a repair to that area.


When I put these areas back together I typically don't lead solder them back together, they get welded and then I use a filler called "metal to metal" which is basically aluminum dust with resins & hardners, it mixes up with a liquid hardner and I'ts kind of a modern replacement for lead.

Aha! there IS hope for you after all. *Grin*

I have that picture on my work computer, I'll try to post it tomorrow.

Later rainbow warrior.

lol!

Rainbow warrior.............

Here Dave.

Grin

Mod top! Sweet!

The roof.

I was gonna put one of these on the roof...

when i find a 64 polara to build its going to get painted white or cream color.

There used to be one in my home town, It's got to be long gone by now though.

their damn hard to find and when you find one in halfass descent shape they want 10 bills and up for them.

not to bad i'll watch and see what it goes for. might be able to pick one up cheaper with the economy being bad.

Done.

If it turns out like that, you'll have to break both of Weezy's arms and legs to keep her from behind the wheel...

Of course, by the time you're done, "runswithscissors" may be old enough to sneak the keys from Dad...

All you'll be left with is a note, where the keys were, reading "Hold my root beer, and don't watch this..."
