I wish I had the money and means to build myself a HQ Van. nothing fancy, 253, 4speed, sidepipes, Caprice interior, power windows and steering, air con and a nicely decked out rear. but unless a lotto win comes along it will stay a dream. look forward to seeing more of your build as it comes along.

[@AstillDesign]

Yes it is hard to get the Resorces to pull together a build. Cheers H

Once again a great episode full of great information, thanks for sharing.

[@AstillDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@LukeMackay-l7x]

Have you gone away from the 240v spot welder? Noticed you’re doing full plug welds on this car. Thank you so much for showing us all this detail!!

[@AstillDesign]

No, its just that I will be filling all the welds on this one. If I was to use the spot welder I would have to fill all the holes in the pieces then spot weld them on. I would be doing it twice.

[@LukeMackay-l7x]

@@AstillDesign that’s what I’m doing atm

[@davidbarnsley8486]

I love short I sometimes don’t have 30 or40 minutes to watch a video I have used a low nap roller as well to apply primer and it also works well for industrial enamel on smaller jobs

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@theveeman]

Stop it Howard, You are making me want to build another car. Loving this Panel van build.👌

[@AstillDesign]

You can do it!

Thanks

[@simondent2196]

Great clip very informative.

[@AstillDesign]

Glad you liked it!

[@tinnedanger]

It's just my little obsession of modifying the simple things. I would have opened up the plenum drain a bit more and made sure where all the stuff went. 😉

[@AstillDesign]

No need, they only block when left under a tree, and that isn’t going to happen

[@erichumphries2029]

Another killer car

[@AstillDesign]

Thanks

[@bigdavedownunder]

With the por15 was there anything else used ie prep paint etc

[@AstillDesign]

Metal was prepared with dioxidine the POR 15 is a direct to metal product

[@redrider1759]

Hi Howard, did you happen to see the HJ panel van Alley Cat re appear on KZbin recently..

[@AstillDesign]

Hi, I did catch that the other day

[@paulcohen142]

What’s is the product code for the epoxy primer you use and where can we buy it?

[@AstillDesign]

Its a PPG product, I have been using the vibrance version that is being phased out. Its also branded under there other brands. Deltron DP616, Vibrance VCP150 or PPG 410-48248. Any PPG distributor www.ppgrefinish.com.au/Distributors/Australia.aspx Cheers H

[@davidbarnsley8486]

Howard I can comment on this video but the other day I couldn’t whats with that do you switch it of or something 👍👍 Who sells this pa15

[@AstillDesign]

I buy it on line from whoever has it

[@FuManchu5ltr]

I have some learner questions: When you use epoxy on the exposed metal, your doing that on all surfaces. I get that. Where the welds go through, does that compromise the paint or is it just a case of no other alternative? Or does the weld through primer/epoxy seal up fine? Also when these were new, is it right that the panels were never epoxied inside and out like are done today and in your rebuilds?

[@AstillDesign]

The welds do have an effect on the paint but no real solution to that, there was minimal paint on the insides of any panels from the factory in the 70's. Expoxy is a more recent product.

[@stevejh0]

Hi Howard, love the channel. Very informative and well produced. Im in a similar spot with a ford escort. I’d like to make the welds look original. Would I need to use a spot welder, or is there a way to mig plug and get them looking like spots?? Thanks

[@AstillDesign]

If you have a spot welder then you can weld up all the holes in the top panel and then spot or plug weld clean up the welds and then give them a quick spot or make a drill bit with a wide face that will give you the spot appearance.

[@shaneobrien5310]

Hey Howard progressing well as usual... One question, was just wondering why you are using POR15 over an Australian equivalent KBS... Is it performance base decision?. Why I'm asking is the price difference is quite significant & want to purchase some very soon.......

[@AstillDesign]

No mate no reason, just something I have used for a while. OLD HABITS
