No, did not paint the whole car. Just washed it. masked off the car when the engine bay got painted. Took the gas door off to get the paint match for the engine bay and left the gas door sitting on a shelf, look how much over spray is on the gas door. It needs buffed. Got some new trim coming this week from the West coast, tinting the windows, Buying head gaskets, Putting motor in, polishing rims and its ready to go.

 

Awesome thread youve got here, all your cars are done tastefully, and I love the fact that you say your vert isnt gonna be all crazy body kitted out and just clean w a lip...thats awesome man keep it up!

Pretttttyyy cool I think! Good Video to watch all the way threw! Sorry about the bad quality in the beginning. No music/sound

 

Now here is a thread I've waited a long time to be updated. Paint looks great! Starting to assemble it all back together?

 

I wanted a real Tig, so I broke down and purchased one of these bad boys! This thing is wildly impressive. Same welder a lot of people are using now a days. A good friend of mine has one, CHIPSMOTORSPORTS, STM(I think), ToxicFab, ect ect. I have been practicing but not as much as everyone else in the neighbor hood. When ppl find out you have a tig its kind of like when you win the mega millions or when someone rich dies in the family. Everyones your friend ect.

After paint I obviously didn't want anything to get on Black Beauty or anyone walk up and rub there hands across it. I bough a car port, and put it in the barn.

The time has come where it all gets put back together!

 

I am purchasing a new top and going to be installing it. I believe I have made my mind up for a Cloth top but still not 100% committed

Changed Fuel system setup. Still 044 pumps. -10 PTFE, x2 Custom Speed flow Filters, AI Pump bracket. GOing to 1 -10AN aluminum Line, then branching into 2 -8.

 

Progress!

 

Awesome build

 

Rotating Assembly balanced/clearance. Rotor Faces, tips, sides where shaved down so they don't smack the housings. Flywheel was '0' Out. I was going to get them lightened but I did not feel comfortable doing that with it being a street driven car. I wanted some meet on the bone so to speak.

 

what holds the fuel pump hanger to the tank? im guessing you need to remove the factory heat shields to fit that there?

 

See the Plate on the bottom?, That's where they originally were mounted, then figured that wouldn't be very bright so I put them back on the side. There is a plate welded to the tank that they are bolt to. Yes that section is removed so far. I have a few shields that ive collected over time and plan on coming up with something for a shield in that area.

 

Nice Build bro! Did we just become bestfriends Respect!

 

looks pretty good!

 

gorgeous build !

 

 

Thanks.

 

Thank You Sir!

 

Picking away..... Refurbished Brake Master cylinder, Clutch master cylinder, Portioning valve. Purchased a New brake booster and whipped up a color that is really growing on me.

Other updates: Gas tanks in, Feed line is ran from tank, under car. Still need to get the fuel filter in so I can bend the line and cut accordingly. I am utilizing the OEM fuel filter bracket to put aftermarket fuel filter.

Picked up a Ford 8.8 IRS, Need to pick up a Ronin Speedworks mount to throw it in. Driveshaft shop covered me on pro level axels.

Still waiting for my Housing & Plates from Defined Autoworks. Hopefully ill be grabbing them sooner rather than later. Been a while
