Thats what i was picturing... but how to get something like those colors in a rattlecan... lol

 

Any Autobody Paint store, can mix paint in an aerosol can for you....just a lil FYI for ya man. Nice build tho!

 

Thanks i may go that route... well see.

I think im gonna tub my car, now....

Id like to be able to run 345s in the back w/315s up front.

So, i dont need to finish the interior right away.

 

j/k


I know i keep going back and forth... but since i already welded in my cage, and spent what feels like months trying to paint my cage.

I dont want to have to redo the rear bars.

So i guess for now ill just do wat i can by beating the **** out of the stock metal and cutting out the bumpstops.


I think once i get my car back together ill by a cheap roller and get to work on that.

 

As you can see the LS7 fits in there quite well

I got the last two filler panels welded in. So now i get to work on bondo for awhile.

But i also decided to move the fuse boxes under the dash, I now wont even has
to do the wire mod. because they will be connected under the dash,
the wires will never go into the engine bay.

Also, I painted my cage for the last time.


Also... also... notice my Bad *** Winter Wheels on the front.

crazy intensive work.

It's going to look good. Props.

 

Trevor...

Keep going man. You are doing a great job. For someone who says they no expierence, my friend you are doing great work.

Ohh and do your self a favor, get you engine bay done the right way; you;re way!!!!!!! Don't set yourself short. Last I checked you live in MI. And it is winter time right now. Who cares if your motors gets here. Priority #1, get your engine bay done the way YOU want it!!!!!

Don't worry about driving your sisters saturn that burns oil. Sure beats throwing your car together, driving it in the snow being pounded by the elements and salt. And lastly someone PLOWING into your car where it is totaled out.. Just do your self a favor and take your sweet time. Again we still have about 5 months of winter left. Plenty of time to get everything how you want it..

Remember... Work Smarter, Not Harder


Good Luck, I will continue to follow this thread

Thanks alot. Its hard to have the car down for so long, but in the end... itll be worth it.

Thanks a lot. Really! Its depressing, not being able to drive my car. and
since no one else worries about these little details like i am... I being to feel
like its a waste of time... but as long as someone else thinks its worth it. lol

If im gonna finish it over the winter... i have a couple of other ideas i may
implement

 

So, today, I welded up some stuff, including the little hood stop things, to give me something to bondo on..

My buddy luke, ground down all the welds, and then we got some bondo on the pass front corner.

I used this Pro-caulk thing to do the corners, and it looks great. The radius was just enough to cover up the welds. I quite happy with how this came out.

Also... Im thinking about having the whole car, engine bay, and cage painted a new color...

Ive never liked having a black car...

How taboo would an LS7 CETA Clone be?

I kinda LOVE that yellow.

 

In for the Creamy Goodness

Ill try to keep the updates frequent for ya guys...




Also.. I need to store this link somewhere...

Oh! Here looks good

 

Suscribing!

 

I'm coming after you and your engine bay soon...

major props my friend!

 

Ill try to keep it interesting.

LOL Thanks!

Ill take that as a compliment.

I welcome all challengers.

 

Just make sure you sand everything nice and smooth..

Keep up the good work Trevor

 

Yes of course. Those last pics from today, was just a first coat.

Ive got lots of work ahead of me...

But, im having fun now, so i have motivation to continue.

 

Why are you all of a sudden having fun now? Before it sounded like you were ready to throw in the towel..

Glad things have changed. Keep up the good work!

 

Well i just got a great deal on some heads. So thats good news. Other than that... Idk, I can just see "it" (my vision) again. So i see what im striving for.

It seems every time I feel overwhelmed... I take a bigger bite. Good Idea...? Prob not. but only time will tell. and if it every gets finished... Its gonna be ****.

 

Great work. Dont lose sight of your vision. All the hard work will have a great reward when you press down on the GO pedal.

I have been procrastinating about the right hand drive conversion (for Australia) of my C5 Corvette. Dont think I would be game to document my progress when the time comes...

 

Fresh off my recent "suspension" . I've decided to post a warning to all you are reading this in my AVATAR.

I got the other side of the engine bay bondoed... but i havent been back out... i may head out right now... but its SOOO COLD.
