Hello,
A member of this forum named Tom Bliznik insisted that we put the restoration of one of our customers cars on the forum. The car was stripped down to metal, patched and painted at a body shop that we have known for a long time and trust their work. We had done something we consider a very important longevity upgrade to his floor pans first. We sanded the floorpans down to metal with a flap wheel and patched any weak areas. We let it sit until a light coat of rust had set in and painted the floor with POR-15. This does an excellent job of preventing future rust, we are BIG fans of POR-15 here at Munk's! After that we cut out fiberglass cloth and epoxy it in. This is for stiffening the floor pan more than anything and gives the car a more solid feeling to the driver and passenger. I'm going to post a link to for the "before" pictures at photo bucket since we have so many. http://s660.photobucket.com/user/Munksmoto...rt=3&page=1 |

DLK, Good spot!
We have found that with our vinyl seat covers (typically on VW Beetles) that there is some sag or folds in certain areas. You can heat these areas up with a heat gun and work the upholstery to fix the problem but you run the chance of hardening the material. We prefer to place the seats/panels under our shop heating elements and work it every day a little bit, it removes the folds/sags gradually and has very little chance of damaging the material. Tom, Mark's car is on the road! Not this time of year of course but he took his car home to wrap up a few things himself. I believe he had 1-2 good driving months before storage. I can't find any good pictures off hand. I'll get in contact with him and get some pictures or better yet, I will get him to register here! -Munk's Motors |
