Dave's Thoughts

Sunsets

A typical Amphi ready for restoration

 Last owner used gobs of fiberglass over rust holes. This only works for a short while then helps rust grow with a vengeance.  Some more stripping and exterior will be bead blasted.

  Next time we see this car it will have its exterior paint removed.

  

Part of drop off is in place. Floor section is made and partially welded.  Next will be rear bumper and light area.

progress, clean up and epoxy before quarter install. Slow welding allows less filler. Another coat of epoxy. Wheels are sand blasted and ready for epoxy too. Winter Sucks. Some parts of car are done.

The rear axle. Starting with semi typical assembly. Using a quality puler using a bolt on plate, hub is pulled. Not using plate can distort rare hub. View of parts. Note spring washers need to be in correct position. After sandblasting, parts get painted with black epoxy. Last pic is of axle being pulled using special Amphicar tool.

Blazing red.  I am very happy with this. Soon I can start installing all of the new goodies.
