Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | Well the restoration of my '61 fury has started. My dad has sanded some spots of the body down to the metal . I have photos of this . I know there is more to do and its not an over night job. I also know it will look good when it gets done. I will also post more photos when more work on the car is being worked on. The body was sanded and some parts sanded down to the metal .

Expert 5K+ Posts: 8443 Location: Perth Australia | Stef Those headlight ring (especially in good condition) are very hard to find When you put them away, make sure other stuff doesnt get put on top of them The other thing is to not try and polish them, they are anodised and you will damage the anodise if you use an abrasive type of cleaner on them Please buy a camera for yourself for Chrismas, we all would love to see good pictures as your Dad restores your car | ||

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I had some seam sealer put in the trunk and the hood I need to a quart of rust converter so the metal can be a paintable surface.

Elite Veteran Posts: 827 Location: tailFinland | plymouth - 2014-12-15 7:05 PM Just curious, but why not sand down the whole car? Looking forward to the restoration. If you Steph accept my tip too, remove bumpers and all trim. Blast and cut rusted spots away, weld patch panels and sand down the whole car and primer and paint the whole car. Use professional help if needed. Idea is to do restoration right if you are not seeking some kind of rat rod style. And doing it right you have to do it only once. | ||

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | My dad is doing the restoration on the car . I also need to get rust converter for the car I believe he has primer and the clear coat . I need to get paint and other items for the car too. About moving the trim I am leaving that to my dad . He restored the black '61 fury I had and that took him about 2 years to do. I have photos of that car in my album here on this site. I went down to see if more work has been done on the car but I did not see any more at this time. I will take more photos when I see more work and post them here | ||

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | My dad is the only 1 doing the work right now. When he gets more into it I will be doing sanding on the body. He has a way of doing body work on a car . I l also learned the car has a lot of bondo but I do not know how much. I plan to use rust converter , rust protectant , primer and sealant before the car gets painted. I want this done right the 1st time. I know it had a paint job a while back but I do not know how old the last paint job is. I am also having the car done at home to save money on the labor rates | ||

Expert Posts: 1476 Location: Pacific Northwest | FYI. There is no such thing as rust converter. It's all marketing. The products you are referring to are in reality rust encapsulators. If you do not want to do this again you will need to remove the rusted sections and splice in new metal. My 2cents. Carry on. Nice car by the way. I will be following the progress and thanks for the photos. Drue | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 5139 Location: cornpatch county, Southwest IOA | You can save yourself some money by going to a paint store or hardware store to get your " rust converter" I think it is called "OS Phos" I can't remember exactly what it is --I think Phosphoric acid. It will take care of surface rust, but not rust through. It does change the rust to a black paintable coating. but leaves a rough finish. ...........................MO | ||

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | Here's a (soon to be lost/mis-placed, here, on this thread)....tutorial about how a turn signal switch's operation can be repaired and adjusted, to allow the signal lever-arm to move freely and/or to return itself 'off' at the end of a turn. You'll see that the signal's body 'mounting arm(s)' may need to be ground-down, slightly, because its steel adjusters' slide-arms may be contacting/binding against its body, which inhibits the free motion of those steel adjuster-stops. The slide-arms can be bent-outward slightly, to create pass-by clearance, to eliminate the adjusters' binding against the turn signal's body. But, the body mechanism arm(s) may well-need to be ground down, to eliminate any other (and, they ARE there..) wear-points/burrs on their moving-mating surfaces. And, then, the shebang should be cleaned and liberally greased. And ALMOST forgot this 'point(s)'..... A close inspection of the steel adjusters may reveal that their curved contact surface-points are slightly worn down, which will inhibit their turn signal's return-operation. You can grind-down (-increase) the "point" on the contact area of the curved surface of the adjusters, but, I've had better luck with merely replacing the steel adjusters, from another good-donor turn signal switch. The first pic shows contact corrosion on a turn signal switch. Next two photos show physical wear on the steel adjuster's contact point-surface. Next photo shows a NOS switch, with sharply pointed steel adjusters, BUT: its adjuster arm has been thinned/ground-down, to create movement clearance for its adjuster, which was found to be binding against the turn signal's body. The third-from-bottom pic shows a binding steel adjuster arm, against the turn signal body. The 4th, 6th and 7th pics show a ground-down (thinned-) switch arm, to create free movement-clearance between its lever mating surfaces.

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I have not done much lately it has been cold out .My father cannot handle the cold but I am being patient about this but I have done the sanding on the hood and the trunk of the car. I am waiting for my dad to take the trimmings off I will leave that up to him The only items I took off was the fender mirrors and the headlight bezels. I would like to get a pair of fender mirrors like I had on the black '61. | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 7385 Location: northern germany | d500neil - 2015-02-24 2:16 PM Here's a (soon to be lost/mis-placed, here, on this thread)....tutorial about how a turn signal switch's operation can be repaired and adjusted, to allow the signal lever-arm to move freely and/or to return itself 'off' at the end of a turn..... iirc the 60+ system is different. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 827 Location: tailFinland | Steph this your car isnt it? Even it is your dad who is doing the job, it is still you car and possibly you can ask him to do things certain way. It is also your duty to study things out, to do home some work about how to restore a car, not just rely blind on your dad (becouse its your car) Many people are giving you a good tips about how to do and how not to do from their experience, and I think you should listen a little bit, not just ignore it. I know it is a son and dad situation, I do not mean that you have start judging his skills and make him feel bad, nor you cant rely on your dad, but you could ask why he has'nt taken the trim at the beginning, ask him should'nt it taken off anyway. Tell him that your pals strip the whole car and sand and paint the whole car and tehy say its better that way... Tell him that professional restores do not use rust converters...

This is not a FL car but was recently refinished. EVERY piece of trim was removed before any sanding or grinding was done. By removing the trim you will have time to buff and polish it while the car body is being attended to. You don't want dingy or damaged trim to go back on once painted, do you...? I'm sure your dad is a very capable fellow, but as one who has done many restorations I have to question his procedures. Take the trim off....... then sand the car.

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I told him that I was not going to do any more sanding until the trimming was removed. All I did was the trunk and the hood but I did not go near the trimming | ||

Expert Posts: 2631 Location: Minor Hill, TN | I did some more sanding but I had the sand paper in my hand here is more of my work. I also need to ask a question when painting a steering wheel what kind of paint should I use I am looking at painting my aero wheel red with a pearl in it. The marked spots were done with sand paper in hand not using a tool . Now I got to get back to work on the car Edited by 1961plymouthfury 2015-03-04 2:44 PM (WP_20150304_002.jpg) (WP_20150304_003.jpg) (WP_20150304_004.jpg) (WP_20150304_005.jpg) Attachments ---------------- WP_20150304_002.jpg (99KB - 237 downloads) WP_20150304_003.jpg (114KB - 216 downloads) WP_20150304_004.jpg (116KB - 217 downloads) WP_20150304_005.jpg (123KB - 218 downloads) | ||

Expert Posts: 2264 Location: McComb, Mississippi | Why not just sand the car down completely all at once or use a paint stripper ? It'd be a lot easier . | ||
