Skunk,

 

 

What did you do to get all that paint off?

[skunk]

just did the floors for now, ill try and get the doors, kick panels, pillers and under the gas tank in the next few weekends. Im hoping to get to the roof some time before winter but who knows whats going to happen.

 

Also did some stuff in the engine, no pics sorry :(

 

got my headlight grills on to, just dont know if i like them on the high beams or the low.

 

i need bigger fog lights........

[skunk]

Skunk,

 

 

What did you do to get all that paint off?

 

started with sand paper, then used por-15 paint striper, then used metal wire brush heads for the power drill. but then i found these paint striper heads for the drill at the hardware store. They look like a black stringy sponge, it worked great.

[izzo]

I think they are better on the high beams. Yes, you need bigger fog lights, they look kinda funky to me where they are mounted, but thats just my opinion :rofl:

 

I mounted my 7" apart (it was actually a little more, because of the width on the piaa lights, so its probably closer to ten, but if you measure between each light on the light housing, they are 7" apart)

[skunk]

i mounted them that far out because i would like to run 4 total fog lights. but yeah, i want to get 7 inch fogs,

Ahh yes i see what you mean. Not sure what size of lights these are, but they are the PIAA 510's :rofl: Got them on a trade from Nismo DR

Dude, this thing is looking awesome! I'm loving the headlight/fog setup. Looks great.

I'd put the grills over the yellow lights.. I think it looks cooler, and on top of that, those are the ones that you want to protect more(they're harder to replace).

 

Keep it up man, I want to be taking some rolling shots this bad boy soon. :thumbup:

[skunk]

best thing is, i only used half of one can. and i got two cans. Need to find some metal to cover the hole in the trunk and i can do that next. i need to find some weather stiping for the door jams the doors them self and the trunk before winter come and brings the rain.

going to need to find some pLugs for the the drain holes in the floors.

<_< plugs... i need to find some plugs

[skunk]

im freaking out, i spent all weekend stripping paint and grinding rust. then used the POR-15 , did the last coat(4coats) at about 5pm yesterday. went to work (10pm), and when i got off work it was raining (i think it started raining at about 4am). got home, and theres was a few small pools of water on the floors. Seems like the POR was more then dry but im still stressed about it. I really hope that did not mess anything up.

i dryed up the water and covered the car with a tarp. should i be worryed? or do you guys think it will be ok.

[skunk]

its going to be fine, it was more then dry before it started to rain, por is the shit. i dont even know why i was stressing out.

[MicroMachinery]

Cool man. Glad to hear that.

[skunk]

so here are the floors, going to primer them as soon as the weather drys up.

thats after 4 coats of POR-15, we put tape under the car on a few pin holes and it sealed them up rock hard.I cant wait to cover the hole car with this stuff. worth every penny.\

almost got the dizzy done

moved the rad, it was mounted to low (wrong holes) and was in the way of the matchbox.

put a remote oil filter in

engine bay shot, just because

[Skib]

lookin good :cool:

[Dat620guy]

Those floors turned out great!!!! :thumbup:

[skunk]

yeah im really happy with them, cant wait to do more of the car.

might do the top on the inside next and or the trunk. i just need some good metal, so i can cut out the spare tire spot.

[skunk]

made some gaskets for my crazy home made air filter set up.

cleaned up my radiator

not mounted, just resting in engine bay

Also tossed some primer down on the floors

 

Ive got to get some flexible hose for the radiator, the hoses that were on before just barely worked. But when i got the car the radiator was mounted lower then it was supposed to be. so when i went to put the el dizzy in the hose was very much in the way. so i moved the radiator to were it belongs the hoses i had no longer work. I tried a few different hoses and none would work just right. Im going to get some flexible steel hoses, just got to wait for them to come in the mail.

[skunk]

just got to fig out what color im painting the car for sure so i can paint over the primer

[67 411]

Looks great man, the air filter setup looks good to.

[the510keeper]

I just love the look of solid floor, rusty one are way to common. Yours looks great. The aircleaners look very cool. I heard you decided to keep it. Keep up the good work.

[skunk]

Just got a new fuel pump

will get it on in the morning after i find something to make a block off plate out of.

[I'm BLUE]

Floors look really nice man :cool:

 

Block Off Plate Material huh ? ---> Nab a spare "Timing Chain inspection plate" off an L Series any thing ,,,, use "Aluma-Weld" from harbor freight to make it fit if need be ? ( should be fine though ;) ,,, clean/drill/paint ) :D
