Tristin Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I dont remember reading what your plans were for a grille, but there are these on eBay right now: Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 mmmmmm jdm sss grill and a 73 sedan grill those are tasty but my plan is to run the original grill 73 sport coupe better pic on a complete car easier to tell what it looks like then the pic of my car in pieces lol Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Figured I would offer... its only got 5hrs left in the auction with 1 person bidding. Same seller also has the amber corners that go with it. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 the sss grill would go great with the late model sheet metal im currently running Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 No joke. PM me if you want the auction details... Either way, your 610 is coming along nice. Im sure it will look great whichever direction you take. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 what do you guys think about a flat black hood? Quote Link to comment
Will Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Flat black hood is okay, especially since the 610 already looks like a musclecar - it might look nice with flat black around the taillights too. (plus flat black hides dents much better than gloss black!) Are you going to be putting the original '73 front end back on the car? What color did you decide to use? what do you guys think about a flat black hood? Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 . What about the transformer's sticker on the gas door???? ..... ... :lol: .... .. . the Budwieser tailights look perfect for a race car .... :lol: .... can't wait to see it all one color ,,,,, ,, except the hood ..... maybe do flat black primer, so you can still paint the hood later But with the hood still on the car it will be ALOT easier/faster to just paint the hood the same color as the car Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why rattle can? A 20 gal compressor and a 30 dollar spray gun from home depot would be x10. Just saying. White epoxy primer, then ad a little color to what you want it and shoot it... Quote Link to comment
zerow Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 I dont remember reading what your plans were for a grille, but there are these on eBay right now: What were the starting prices? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Why rattle can? A 20 gal compressor and a 30 dollar spray gun from home depot would be x10. Just saying. White epoxy primer, then ad a little color to what you want it and shoot it... there are a few reasons for this our air compresser isnt reliable, dont have a gun or an air pressure regulator, just getting the equipment will cost more then the cans of paint did i was originally gonna use my uncles gun and compresser but he doesnt want me to use it so i was preseted with but 150 bucks worth of equipment plus paint or just buy some cans and go to town later this will be stripped off and real body work and paint done but for now it will be one color for canby Quote Link to comment
