Wasting no time.

29hrs of work over Fri/Sat/Sun.

Talk less, work more.



Roll cage repainted/cleared to perfection with new colors, safety red.<br/><br/>Flares riveted. Rivets smoothed and middle dimples filled w/ putty. Blocking the flares for perfection, not a single damn wave allowed.





Mmmmm....eat off it.





More edibles. Sanded clear down on engine bay, going to reclear when spraying chassis, we want zero imperfections.





Manual conversion, filled all holes w jb weld, cut out seals. New tie rods, end pieces, hardware, and bushings!


Next up:

-Finish blocking the rear fenders
-Install rear subframe/differential/suspension
-Roll car out and clean our booth, wash down w/ water to settle dust, and mask up walls/ceiling
-Paint chassis
-Paint each body panel on its own stand
-Wetsand all peices / Buff
-Paint trim/recondition tail lights etc etc
-Relocate to another area for 4 rotor install/wiring etc

Keeping up the momentum,

Rear subframe, differential and all suspension components now installed. Just need to slap on the rear calipers/pads and its a fully rolling chassis again.

More pics to come.

This weekend the plan is to have the chassis painted, cleared, and begin wetsanding. Then onto the individual panels
