Custom comeback

Im liking the racing stripe on the windshield but won't that impede foward vision ? uzzled:

 

The kid at orielly said it added 15hp to his civic so taulb thought it was worth a shot....

 

at least its got a GSX'ish theme with the red center and yellow pinstripe boarders

 

We dont need no stinkin vision

Figure the car will look nice and no one wants to see my ugly mug through the windshield to ruin it

 

Took off the quarter panel extensions for some sanding and found this.

Edited for proper part name*

 

Is that what they are called? I keep getting that name confused. But its aft of the quarter by the decklid. To be honest i just caught on that 3 nuts later they come off.

 

Round 3 of block sanding the hood. Just waiting for filler to dry.

 

Ah yes, just sitting there watching filler dry at 11:30 pm on a friday night. We live life in the fast lane my friend, really teatering on the ragged edge......
:3gears:



:laugh:

 

Round 8 of hood blocking.. either its that bad or im doing something very wrong. Had an issue with my scary freight paint gun from the 1st go round of spraying. Now its completely unadjustable. Feeling frustrated, it had to die.. anyone have a decent paint gun for sale?

 

I believe mr mick jagger of the rolling stones said it best... "shadooby, shattered shattered!!!

 

ATTABOY! I feel your paine .did that last week!:TU:

 

More progress .. hood turned out decent after days of chasing high and low spots. Its nice to have it all one color again and get a fresh look. Hit it with epoxy again since there were many large bare metal spots, then 2 heavy coats of 2k primer. Looks much better :beer: and I got to use my new Devilbiss Flg4-670 finishline spray gun!

 

Liberating, isn't it?

 

Made good progress today,after another coat of high build, the entire body and hood are blocked and ready for paint! Now just need to finish the fenders and Ill have some color on.



My wife asked me today when the car will be finished. Shes very supportive, but apparently she is tired of having parts scattered in the spare room and her parking space

 

:TU: Looking good!

 

Thanks Rusty! Hopefully in the next few postings I'll have something decent to say.. like "look at the shiny new paint!"

 

Well, no paint.. But new fender patches are on! Big thanks to Tim Carson for supplying me with the sheetmetal. Hoping for paint in the 3rd or 4th week of May, wetsand and buff in June, with some reassembly in the mix. Maybe the car will make it to BPG this year.

 

Really great work! It never ceases to amaze me what some of you guys are getting done at home, someday I'll get enough inspiration to strip my car down to steel, hopefully I'll find a garage helper too :TU:

 

Thanks! You can do it! I would say that the 1st step is the hardest.. but it's all an equal pain in the rear. You have to start somewhere :beer:
