Let me know when you're done so that I can bring my car over..

joesws6

Not sure if you can afford the labor...cause I couldn`t afford to pay someone for this kinda labor.The hours I got into this car is insane,from mods,prep work an paint.My goal is to have it done by June.I still need paint,exhaust,tires an dyno tuned.Currently polishing my factory wheels an tomorrow I will block the passenger door an jam it.I installed the Rodney Dickman`s headlight motor rebuild kit,friend is coming up Saturday to finish up some wiring I needed done.I bought the passenger an driver door high voltage kits an replaced both door motors.I have the sequential tail lights installed,so hopefully in next few weeks ready for dyno.Gonna do the dyno tune before paint an exhaust,was told no big deal on the exhaust don`t need one for the tune.Currently using my 70 z/28 factory wheels...looks goofy lmao but I guess I need tires for the dyno tune lol.

sweet project, silly question though, how did you get the door handles off :S? my door handle on the driver side is insanely loose

joesws6

The door handle has to odd nuts holding it in,they are really thin but screw on,not sure exactly what they are called.It`s very simple to get at.

Ok, maybe another silly question, LOL. Why red on the hatch sills but white on the door? Is the white you sprayed your primer? Just thought it odd 2 different colors were used.

good choice in color! how about you paint my T/A that color while your at it ?

joesws6

Oh I got a 70 z/28 next.The friggen cost for the paint was $598.00 for a gallon.The cost of the materials for a paint job is so expensive,especially when you get in candy colors.I wonder what it would cost me to have someone else paint the jams? Someone guess...

would you take the doors off and trailor it to them? if so probably not that bad

joesws6

Actually was wondering what it would cost to just drop whole car off,was told around 5-10k.

Are you painting the engine bay as well?


Looking great so far.

very nice work. I assume your jamming everything and then reassembling the car and painting all the exterior panels on the car?

joesws6

As of right now the engine bay will stay black,I just don`t wanna get side tracked an burn time in the engine compartment.As for painting goes,both bumpers,both side skirts will be painted red.The rear spoiler is gonna be red on the bottom an metallic black on top,the piece behind t-tops will also be painted black.All of those parts will be painted off the car,my brother does more body work then me an told me off the car...not sure why but thats what he recommends.Also the rear bumper has that low insert that the exhaust tips come out the bottom,that will be filled black also.Today I will try to get the door hinges,handles an key lock primed today.
