1967 fury convert. from flintstone drive to a beauty in 4 years - part 1

[Fury67]

Part II of the wheelhouse






What a beautiful it has been...:coffee2:



The fenderwells are done, the trunk extension panels are the next in line(selfmade what else...)

 

[Fury67]

Quarter extension panels: what a job under the car...
rear crossmember and trunk ext. panel

 

[Ripinator]

I swear. . . Everytime I look at this thread, I'm just blown away. . .

 

[Fury67]

Front fender left...what a long lasting job....

replacing the bondo styled section, with a steel panel



short information: the front fender from a 67 and a 68 fury are looking similar,
but they have another mounting brackets for the headlight-bezels, and the front lower
section is also different.

Good job! That is some amazing work!

 

[detmatt]

I want to be you when I grow up!

Hand formed panels the old craftsman style way.
Beating a panel into a form is a skill long forgot.
I'm sitting here absolutely in awe.

 

[Fury67]

the end is near (bodywork)..., not mine, a little bit rust removing...



welding the quarters into place - a long lasting procedere, to get them straight onto it

 

[Vertigo]

Now that is a complete Restoration!

We were just tallking about this in another thread. What's going on here? What are all thos blobs?

Looks like a heat resistant material to prevent warping. Or at least that's what we used back in the day.

Asbestos. Specifically, Klix I think.

 

[Fury67]

the "blogs" are an especially paste for heat transfer, to get the panels straight onto the body.
i applied this at each welding area.

 

[commando1]

asbestos?!

 

[commando1]

blobs of asbestos?!

blobs of asbestos?!

Not really the place to talk about it but I believe the newer cellulose heatsink puttys are blue in color. I think it's an effort to distance themselves from the older ACM based puttys.

 

[commando1]

Where CAN we talk about it?

 

[67Monaco]

To be fair this is a post about his resto not about the good and evils of a mineral. If in fact thats whst its made from.

 

[Wollfen]

There is real quality work going into this car, its amazing how these cars are valued so much overseas and yet you can have a similar car in the states that needs a fraction of the rust work done and its considered salvage yard material.

EXACTLY. And I want to know from him if it is asbestos or not and if it is, why he used it and how to get it. I may learn something from his resto thread.
