Wow, great job and what a shine! How do you polish aluminum to get it like that?


Jon Ison - 27/2/05 at 05:22 PM

you don't, its 0.7mm stainless.


kb58 - 27/2/05 at 05:56 PM

All of it? The hood and cowl too?

I used stainless for my floor; it has advantages, but the stuff is downright evil to handle!

Just keep posting those pics every couple of months to keep me going when I start to lose interest please.

Now that is nice. Really like the sides in polished finish, are the side panels in one piece?

Hi Jon
I wish there were guys like you around when I built mine (1997-1999)
.GREAT INSPIRATION.
And a cracking good looking car !!!

i was just trawlling thru some photos n thought id'e post a couple, it was seeing pics like that and the odd ride that kept me going when i built her.

yup side panels are one piece, scuttle and bonnet both stainless.

Damn! All this time I thought it was ally (and hoped for a similar finish).

Very fine-looking car, the Isonblade.

Didn't someone pretty local buy the salvage Jon? We might see it again some time.

"Didn't someone pretty local buy the salvage Jon?"

Really, what's she look like? Couldn't resist...
