metalmonkey47 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Thats the rattle can you're seeing. The primer..... vanished I think! It just flat out isn't there. A lot of the reason that it's coming right off is because it's really thick. I sprayed that fender as my test fender. Then primed it, and sprayed on MORE. I was never planning on keeping that fender. I just can't find a parts car anywhere to rape body parts off of. 1 Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 No, what's below it is. What's flaking is the lacquer Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 No, what's below it is. What's flaking is the lacquer Because it cant adhere to rattle can... Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Because it cant adhere to rattle can... Yup, you're 100% right! The rattle can is enamel and lacquer doesn't stick. My ignorance really saved my ass here. The lacquer is nearly impossible to sand. I'm literally peeling the whole car. Some spots harder to do then other, but hey, easier then sanding. The paint this time around is gonna look 200% better then now. I'm going down as far as I need to in order to get the body as straight as possible. I'm searching for a new driver fender though. Old one is JUNK. Moar oics... Details: Both fenders were sanded to the bare metal, other then passenger which isn't gonna need it, since it's nearly 100% perfect as it is, and needs only a few dents smoothed out.

I'm going back when my resonator comes in. I'm upsizing the exhaust from 1 1/2 to 2'' for the LZ I'm building. Kinda playing with the idea of a turbo.... Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Some douchebag really must not like my car They went through and neg repped half my build thread. Silly fools. Anyways, I went through it with some fresh new parts again. Oics soon.. got it running better then ever and gained a little power out of some timing adjustments. The car is primed again because I finished sanding it smooth and needed to cover the bare metal. Primer is porous, but better then bare metal I figure. PPK, I thought about getting some ebay coilover shit and slamming it, but It's gonna be gone in the next few weeks, so it makes no sense to spend money where I don't have to. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Some more random little things. I put a clutch in it, and theres a HUGE difference that I found hilarious between the L series and A series clutch. It literally is the size of a personal pan pizza.
