WOW, that is some hot powder coating.

 

Ahh...very nice! I'm excited to see what else you have planned for it. Easily one of the nicest 7's already on this forum.


Thank you sir.

 

I'm hoping my buddy has a chance to post his pictures of the underbody soon, but until then I went ahead and took a few shots of my own. Nothing special, but I'll get them up tomorrow.

 

here is a teaser of Riz's underbody, pictures will be coming soon

 

Amazing, subscribed.

 

ohhh boners left and right. looks dope

 

Damn that is clean. I could never drive the car after all that work.

 

Riz, looks great man. I'm with Carol on this one, amazing attention to detail. I only planned on doing my control arms and subframes, but I might do my trans now. =D This is another reason why we need a "build thread" subforum.

 

Wow Riz, after all that I would not want to drive the car anymore, just park it in my living room and admire it...LOL..

Great job indeed...

 

Riz
Gordon fwd this tread to my attention
Car is taking shape nicely
Keep the pics coming!

 

Thank you! I do plan on driving it though . I only put around 1000 or so miles on it every year prior to all this work so I'm not too worried about messing things up.


Thanks Kai! You know I couldn't do that lol. After nearly 5 years of waiting I think the 7 deserves to be driven.

 

Thank you sir! Definitely do the trans and diff, if you can deal with the hassle. It's a bit of hassle, but after doing all my other parts it was well worth it to finish it off right IMO.

I think the "build thread" subforum is a great idea. I don't post much, but I try following build threads as much possible. Definitely some interesting builds out there. I'm just a bit lazy in terms of documenting. I take plenty of pictures, but don't have the time to follow-up with posting.

 

Thank you Andrew! I plan on taking/posting more pictures as work progresses. Right now, the entire rear-end has been assembled and bolted up. Also went ahead and painted the axles, hubs, and all misc. brackets and bolts so that everything compliments the powdercoating well. Things are coming along great. I expect the underbody work to be completed *hopefully* sometime this week.

 

Riz, let me know when thats done, I can swing by and take some more pics, would like to do it at night which is much better and easier!

 

Definitely subscribed!

 

Awesome! I'm hoping by this weekend. Needed to order a couple small parts. Should have them tomorrow. I also painted/undercoated the gas tank

 

whats your AIM handle str8ryd?

 

Please take what I'm about to say as constructive

The PM system works well for such requests.

Also, if you move your pointer over the AIM symbol in Riz's username section, you'll be able to send him an AIM.

 

^Correct! You can PM me for it also, if you'd like. No biggie.

 

UPDATE: Finished the install of the entire suspension/underbody. No time for pictures yet, but perhaps this weekend I'll get around to it. Also, the motor should be on its way back to me so I'm very excited to finally have it installed and move on to fabrication work.

Sooo close...

 

sorry about that folks, my browser was acting strange and wouldn't show the AIM handle button.

 

Nice work!

I'm the same way. I take pics as I slowly progress through my build, but don't see the point in posting them up until it nears completion.

 

Wow, that is amazing. I want to come check it out once you get it assembled and before you drive it, wait, it will probably be AWHILE before you drive it...lol

 

nice detail work ! keep it up :p

 

Thanks everyone! Exciting news...just got my motor back yesterday from Glen at AZRR. I'm going to hopefully stop by tonight to check it out and take some pictures.
