[jaap de wit]

here are some more pictures of the taking apart of my chev project.
it took me about 3 weeks to strip the wholl car. after that it begins the restoration .

so the first job to do was to bring the frame to the blasters.
than the next job the front axel, look all the dirt but all the nuts and bolts came of in one peace. till now I was lucky with the nuts and bolts I only have to cut 15 ore so to take the car apart so cross fingers.

the next thing , the hubs came of and the brakeshoes to.
they where in quite a good state, only the shoes have to be replaced.
the hubs are not bad . the bearings were like new, only the seals nead replacing.

the front axle was a little bit durty so after lots of work it was clean and got painted. the brake shoes where replased and everything put together again.
what a differends some paint can make. the front springs I took apart to and painted them and put them together again ready for assembly.

Excellent work, Jaap. I like the jig you made for the front axle; based on two Gamma trolleys?

Can I ask you which brand and type of primer you use?

Keep up the good work.

he alex
I use the jig on the trolley's for the rear axle aswell, it works fine, you can roll it everywhere you want. I made it of some hardwood and cutout half a circle on the top to carry the axle.
the primer I use is the normal iron primer you can buy in every do it yourself shop (gamma) and it works fine.
cheers jaap.
