Episode 15
Lots of time has passed, as it's the mad year end rush. Bloody work getting in the way of ACVW and all that.
BUT, work has not stood still on the Notch.
Remember this last (we hope) rust spot :
Well it is no more.
First of course, is the cut:
Then the prep:
and lastly the fix and weld (and very neatly done if I may say so!
)
If you recall the original dash on my Notch is cracked, so Bugoff took it upon himself to make a mold from fibreglass.
Step 1 (and please jump in Ferdi if I get any of the steps wrong):
Make the original dash as shiny and non-stick as you can:
then add the gelcoat:
The first weave coat:
some chop strand
and finally the 2nd weave coat with some wood reinforcement to prevent it from cracking....
If this comes out nicely, we might just have a source for replacement Type 3 dashes!
With that out of the way, and the red paint tin open, it seems that Bugoff likes the colour as much as me!
We have some red tin, metal, filters:
Some more red tin:
and a filter close-up:
Why be normal ?!
Then, the narrowed and chopped beam, HAHA, just a red beam
and a RED gearbox:
Did I mention this car will be red ?
and after ALL the incredible hard work, we are finally back to this:
soon..........
ps. Had a thought this week, and I like it more and more the longer I look at it. Proudly South-African:
What do you think?
