Rotary510 Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 So here is my other project update ratsuners... I thought I could this dime could make it to Canby but it will sit in the shop for a few days after the paint job today. So i guess the red rotary and the 810 Diesel will enjoy the "Canby Experience" this year. Here are some snaps of some of the work I did to it. It is an original 73K mile car, just abandoned on a farm field and brought back to life by yours truly. Only rust I found was under the trunk floor. I cut it out and replaced with 1/4" thick aluminum "TRAFFIC LIGHT AHEAD" sign that I found hidden in the attic in the new house I bought this year. I figured that it would make the car keep a road mind at all times and keep the car unique. I also sealed the floors and now paint with all chrome nice and tidy. New gas tank and brown leather re-upholstered seats coming next with a set of OEM 510 hubs that i got from my friends in Canada. We'll see what's next for this "carrot" dime, the orange screams for attention. :D AND...This is the goal, just brighter orange...OEM Style, Stock, Stock, Stock... :cool: Quote Link to comment

Rotary510 Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 So are you re-painting it? Or just giving it a high grit cut and buff? Complete new paint job. I think the orange I chose was Vintage Sunlight Orange. Quote Link to comment
