    '55 Nomad Hearse

    Right, third car on the way. Had this in the post today

    [ATTACH]59920.vB[/ATTACH]

    Made a start already. Didn't know which way to take it until i saw this

    [ATTACH]59923.vB[/ATTACH]

    These are not made very well. Needs alot of preparation and cleaning up. So now i'm doing this

    [ATTACH]59924.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59925.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59926.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59927.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59928.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59929.vB[/ATTACH]

    altered the rear seats so the boot is big enough to take a coffin

    [ATTACH]59930.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59931.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59932.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59933.vB[/ATTACH]

    Also got the engine ready to paint

    [ATTACH]59934.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59935.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59936.vB[/ATTACH]

    That's it so far. Atm im putting some cables on the distributer and getting the shell ready for the primer.

    More progress to come over the weekend!

    Any comments more than welcome!

                      Done some more work last night.... primed and started painting

                      [ATTACH]59952.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59953.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59954.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59955.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59956.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59957.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59958.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59959.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]59960.vB[/ATTACH]

                      I could do with some advice on removing the chrome palting of some parts.... I read somewhere you can use ordinary bleach and it should come straight off......

                      Cheers Pascal

                      Oh and also i noticed the primer i use is pretty rubbish, it's just one i found in an art shop. which one should i go for in future?

                          Justy plain old bleach will remove the plating pascal, theres a few threads on here somewhere. Basically i think you just soak the bits in thick bleach for a few hours and presto! ,As for the primer i always use Halfords grey (or sometimes white), it sprays nice and fine and gives a great finish for the top coat. cheers tony

                          p.s. love the green!

                                      This is looking great. Really enjoying what you've done so far.

                                      I too use Halfords grey primer, nice finish and drys fairly quickly too.

                                      Really looking forward to see how the de-chroming turns out. Always wanted to have a go at doing it.

                                          Thanks. It's all a learning process for me.

                                          Done some engine detailing.... looks a bit messy but i'm happy with it anyway. As i said it's all a learning process.

                                              Pretty much completed it today..... Tried doing rusty bumpers and grille, but it didn't turn out very well.... looks more muddy than rusty. Never mind.

                                              I did give it a couple of clear coats though and looks good. The merc didn't get that.

                                              Still not perfect but it's all practice and i love doing these!

                                              Comments and advise more thatn welcome

                                              Cheers, Pascal

                                                  Looks Bad to me pascal (thats good bad , not bad bad !) The rusty bumpers look fantastic , as does the satin black paint job. The grille and wheels could maybe benefit from a black wash to lift out the detail and give the impression of the holes , thats not a criticism , i still love it. Keep on rodding , looking forward to the next one ,(and im also looking out for something to have a bash at myself !!) cheers tony

                                                      Cool thank you. I've never tried "washing". I'll happily give it a go. Gotta do some research into it first on how to do that. And im not that happy with the bumpers. As i said they look muddy rather than rusty. But the overall painting came out rather nice i think.

                                                      Next up is not a hot rod..... But Ecto-1.....
