Preparing & Painting a 1927 Inter Chassis

They are finished when you sell them Trevor.

Cam your probably correct with that one.

Chocs has just sent me the design for the new signage on the 27.
What do you think.

Probably put the bill on Gilly's account

Maybe some creative accounting.

After Haulin and the drama with blocked jets in the carby have pulled the tank out. Remember this is the tank that was cleaned and coated by the same bloke that did my original radiator.

What was found was a bloody disgrace.

Tank removed, lots of loose crap feel out

Part of fuel gauge (didn't work)

Fuel gauge removed

This is the mess in the tank after it had been rinsed out a couple of times

As all the coating had run down to the bottom and was rock hard the only thing to try and get rid of it was some paint stripper.

Nice mess also thru in some nuts and washer to help a little as it rotated around in the mixer.

After running some degreaser thru and washing it out 4 times this is what I have got still to clean out.

Will try again in a few days to get it fully clean before I re seal it properly this time.

At least this should fix your blocked jet problems Trev!! :

dont know if you have a slaughter nearbye but took some fuel tanks to local slaughter yards and borrowed there big boiler put caustic soda in the tank sat a hose off the boiler in there for a few hours came up like chrome inside just had to get the big bits out

Do you have any idea what they put in it, I'm about to put some red seal product in the wife roadster.I might not after seeing that.

Bugly it's a wonder the old girl even ran with the amount of crap.

Old Scrap man am finally having some success with the washers.

Mrsmackpaul. Will see what Tommorow brings when I try a little more, am down to the last sticky glue like substance.

Max. I think if its done properly it should work fine got a funny feeling that all he did was put the sealer in without all the primer and cleaning before.

I am re sealing it with this product

Should be resealing next week some time so will see how it goes.
