SSS510 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 good job James :thumbup: , Now get back to work :mad: Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted March 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 And progress continues. Welded in a small drivers side patch in the floor, then cleaned and sealed all the floors, (what a nice look) Victory lit a fire under everybody's asses. She decided this thing is in the way. With non stop fucking rain, it's hard to put a bare metal car in the weather. Now we have 4 cars in the shop, along with a crap load of parts. It seems we still have enough room for 3-4 people to work on projects. Vic started final sanding on Friday when she got home from her real job. Then Saturday came along and Victory, Atom and Phil went to town on it. Late night came and the car was masked and ready for paint. We sealed the car in an epoxy sealer, but had a few problems with fisheye. So this morning I sanded the entire car again. WTF, Then wiped the car down with cleaner, installed a new disposable filter on my permanent filter, Mixed up some more epoxy and bam, looks great Just wanted to say thanks to my lovely wife and Phil and Atom for all your help on this one.

the510keeper Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Out side in the sun aspect of the car. Finished all of the remaining parts to Big Red. This weekend we'll be putting her back together. I've done some many 510 with black window frames lately, it was nice painting this car all one color. Not planning on any black paint on this car. Victory stripped the wheels Headliner and windows this weekend Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Big red looks awesome in the California sun!!! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Big Red is coming along nicely. Lowered the rear and installed the new 280zx wheels and tires. Installed a almost new trunk rubber. Just getting started on the black headliner. Looks like the headliner will go smoothly, with Atoms help we git it layed up and glued in. Tomorrow I will be finishing off the A, B, and C pillars. I want to have the windows in by the end of the week I have to repaint the trunk lid. Dave Pare used it for a PLUG, for his new trunk lid mold. Didn't realize the paint needed to cure more, a textured film imprinted on the fresh paint. Time to resand and spray another coat.

The Dat-side Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Lookin' good, lookin' good. Is that an actuall 510 headliner or just some material? Do you have any more pics of the install. Since you do so many, next time you should do a write up on it. And what did you use for stripping the wheels? And then buffed them? Is that a single spoke painted? I like it, I was going to do the same. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Atom Church is teaching me how to do a headliner. He did his and it came out great. You can buy a headliner on ebay 99 bucks. Yep the wife striped the wheels with chemical aircraft stripper. and a red scotch bright. I polished one with chrome polish, and painted one spoke, but we are going to take the paint back off. It did not come out the way i wanted it to. Though about a red spoke, But i don't like the look of the wheels matching the paint job. We have this car for sale but might have to drive it for awhile to save some gas. The complete project is turning out better then i thought. Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted April 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 You are some impatient bitches Here we go, go now. Jane says have you seen my dime around it is red hot. Installed painted black vents to go with the black headliner, then installed windows. NOS rear window rubber and precision front rubber. Seemed to work out great. Got most the chrome channel in also. (had to look for awhile but found some in my stash. Quote Link to comment
greengo Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Looks very nice.. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 One thing at a time. This car came mostly complete, but the more I put it together the more parts are missing or just completely not worth using. Spent a good part of the day digging through 5gl. buckets of bolts, nuts and screws. Here is where we ended up. 1/4er windows in, vents in, red running lights in and a few other interior parts. Doesn't seem like much but it sure did take all day. The black pinch molding was in bad shape. I ended up using 4 door rear door pinch molding, just barley has the length. Quote Link to comment
d510addict Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I'm diggin it, I would love to see a little bit more on how y'all did the headliner I need to do the same on my 521. Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted April 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 That was the 1st headliner and maybe the last. It was not fun. I would rather paint something and get paid. Then take that money and have a headliner guy take care of the headliner. There is a difference, I paid $420 for the headliner in the White Knight, it looked great. This one looks good, way better then a factory old one. Also way better then not having a headliner. Quote Link to comment
