The restoration of a 1907 Stanley EX Steam car progresses

3/22/2018

 

                                                            Part Three
​After sandblasting and small repairs the framework is given a 2K epoxy coat and a 2k Color paint.

The springs are taken apart and each leaf is epoxy coated. I then applied a thin layer of colour paint on each leaf. After drying i assembled the springs and painted them again.

The front wheels were not the correct size. They where a different size than the back wheels. I decided to fit smaller rims to fit 30 x 3 tyres as well.
Being a very difficult job that needs experience i have sent the wheels to Robert Hurford. When ordering Wheels, valves, boiler, burner i have noticed that all craftsman have a lot of work and i have to wait a long time. Nice to see that they are all very busy, but i have to get used to this.
 I have pre-fit the body on the chassis for the first time and it fits perfect.

 In the meantime all kind of small projects were done like repairing the bonnet, overhauling the steam-oil system, throttle and water bypass.  The dents in the bonnet are hammered out and holes are filled with tin. The steering wheel was in a bad condition so i decided to repair the cracks and paint it black. The engine is pre- fit as well and runs on steam provided by my locomobile.
