You have to spray chrome first and then purple over chrome.
The build is coming along nicely. I'm glad you took a pic with the quarter cut off so I know where to make the cuts on my wife's car lol.
I appreciate it !
No problem ! Drill some holes and put a doubler underneath your quarter skin. Then use rare earth magnets to grab the joining side since you can’t get a clamp behind it for plug welding. Make sure you get decent sized magnets, better to be oversized then not too. Make sure your plug holes aren’t too big or you will make a mess. Also make sure that you have epoxy primer on hand as it has to be sealed up. Don’t use weld through primer because it doesn’t seal the panel , rust will form.. its crap.
Really close on being able to drive it.
Updates:

-rear subframe powder coated
-Samberg v1 radiator modified with a updated high quality core
-all power accessory’s
-BTR stage 3 cam

.. and probably more I am forgetting !
Still need to modify gauge face a bit more but here are some recent pics. I decided to keep the OEM ABS,CEL,etc lights by modifying original cluster. I plan on carbon fiber wrapping the interior panels with real carbon, not carbon vinyl. I bought Alcantara deep black suede wrap for the dash as well. I believe part # 9040 Alcantara.
Dormant purple powdercoated 8.8 subframe
Almost too pretty to install back into the car .. lol
Updated engine bay shot - heat wrapped fire wall - heat wrapped headers - + more
UPDATE - Finishing up the project.. hoping to be done very soon here.
In the process of finishing mounting my feed widebody. I bought the fenders from shine auto and requested carbon fiber reinforcement which makes the panels STIFF, they are no longer flimsly like feed fenders usually are. I used 3m panel bonding adhesive to mold them to the car. I also am fiberglassing the side marker light and fender holes so I can mold them smooth so they are no longer present.
