1950's era EMD (electro-motive division) of General Motors, model F7P i believe.

Kansas City Southern railway.

Trains are another one of my hobbies

Here are some more pictures of our work on Brenda's car. The painting is complete, the polishing will be complete after 1 more pass with the buffer.
A few pictures of Brenda helping with the wet sanding, she does not like me taking pictures of her!:ange:
New licence marker lights, not the exact replacements, but they are genuine Renault pieces.
Also the dash being installed, work on the hydraulic lines for the top, the carpet laid out to relax, and the rear bumper cover.
I had painted it black to hide the many inperfections, but now have decided to go back to the original look with only the black stripe in the middle. More sanding and painting
Still much work to be done, but it all gets easier as assembly work progresses!

I hope that is it, as that truck does not look road worthy:mdr:

Thank you, Eduardo and Cedric

Cyrille, for the fenders, yes, that made it easier to do the mechanical work on the front.

As for the doors, that's another story, i was going to replace the drivers door, it was damaged. Then, as i was moving things around the shop with my forklift, i struck the passengers door with the machine and damaged it beyond repair

Once again, i am very good at making more work for myself!

It has been a long time since i have posted an update, summer was busy camping and boating!

Now it's time to get back to work on Brenda's car!

After many hours of body work and sanding, we now have epoxy primer, hi build primer, and the first base coat of color

Here are a few pictures, i will edit and post more as time allows.

I hope everyone had a good holiday season, and Brenda and I wish you all the best for the new year!http://imageshack.us/g/1/9957009/

Yes, i believe i do, B8594 Dupont, and/or 3695 Ditzler.

When i spoke to the man mixing the paint, he looked up the paint code on his Dupont data base, and that # matched his information.

I will do a test spray before painting to be sure the color is correct

An update on the grille......

The first one arrived without a box, just shrink wrapped. As you can imagine, it was broken.:non:

I emailed the seller, he promptly send another one, this time it was boxed to protect it from damage:bravo:

It looks to be an old aftermarket item from Continental Auto Parts, Newark New Jersey. It is a nice, well built grille, good chrome plating, and solid construction.

I would recommend them for those who need a new grille.

My camera is at home, i will bring it tomorrow and snap some pictures.

I have seen that some of you need a new grill for your Alliance.

I found some new reproduction grills on E-bay U.S., i have ordered one, and will report on their quality when it arrives.

These are for the 83-85 models, but may be able to be modified for the 86-87's.

Hello Gerard,

Thank you for the English

The bumpers are not for me, they are for Dirk, he lives in Dresden Germany.

I was trying to help them find bumpers within the European continent as shipping costs from the U.S. are very expensive.

Do you have the honeycomb inner pieces as well as the outer covers? As they need both pieces for the front and the rear.

If you have what they need, it may be best to have them contact you to arrange the sale.

Thank you for your help on this matter!

Geoffrey

Francois,
Email me  i want to make sure i have what you wanted  

Geoffrey

Please help me to understand Gerard's post.

Does he have the bumpers, and is willing to sell them?

I wish i would have taken French language in school......

Geoffrey
