badges on.. we tried to paint the engraving etc.. maybe eventually I will have them powder coated and retry but 2 attempts were unsuccessful.. oh well also installed the door cards I purchased over a yr ago and hadnt unboxed.. glad they are decent shape..
Pack up a flat rate box of smaller parts you want powder coated and I'll do them for free. Stuff like brackets, those side markers, small parts on the engine. etc.
Just pay return shipping. I've done this for members before.

Oh yeah, KC is awesome at this! He made me the same offer for my rats nest and some other bits that I sent him and they came back looking FANTASTIC! Such an awesome thing to do for a fellow rotor head.
That last shot is the best! I love that your kids helped you with this.
thanks.. yes it is fun with the kids though the last 9mths they havent had a lot they could do.. my daughter jumped in while I tried to get out of the backyard for 50feet.. haha she has to be in it

well I ran my motor down to Kevin Baltz this weekend.. what a drive.. 13.5hrs each way...
I left at 1230 friday lunch, got down there at 230am saturday, grabbed a room and slept 6 hrs, woke up showered got dressed and went to meet Kevin.. spent an hr or so hanging out discussing the engine build and other things... then got to ride in his repu.. F%^$^%g beast... then he led me out to the highway and showed the rx7 off a little... then I left towards home, stoppd for a 25min nap, then met a buddy in Kansas City for some dinner which tool 1.5hrs, then back on the road.. stopped at 3am and took a 25min nap then when the alarm went off I reset it again.. haha I was beat.. 2hrs left till home so I finished it up and got home around 5am.. slept till midday.. what a weekend.. pretty excited for my engine to be built and what it will be like..
motor popped, so I had Kevin Baltz rebuild it with his magic.. currently on break in tune and will soon add meth/water injection setup once 1000miles are on..
made my deadline to have it on the road for a local car show...
now is back on the lift to keep doing the little things I want to improve it more...
at the car show with my 14yr old daughter who has been in the shop with me almost all the build..
Decided to wrap the DP and exh mani... it helps.. grabbed it after about 4mins of idling and was able to hold onto it...
the other 3 of my kids... who says you cant fit people in these cars.. haha
sorry to hear about the setback, but glad to hear you got it back together now. Kevinbtz has earned my respect over the years. huge fan of his, so you probably did yourself a good service.
Car is looking great as always! Was fun to get out with everyone for sure. I should get out and start the car tonight if I get some free time, hasn't been started since that event. I also got SolidWorks on my desktop and laptop this weekend, so I can start taking measurements of the RE-Speed big brake kit that I'd like to start remaking eventually. We gotta get some collaborative projects going
now I may have a clutch issue and a trans issue... hoping to have a little more nice weather before the real cold/snow hits... then I can test that theory out... kind of a flashback to when I got the car and tested out the 2nd gear issue and blew the trans... may have to try the same thing again in my driveway haha
