Do a search Doug. We've discussed this to death in the past. There is at least one and maybe more threads in the last 12 months for sure where it was discussed ad nauseum.

Yeah, I usually do a search too....just looking for the Cliff-Notes version. (Do they even still have those?)

rhodyguy answered my question...thats all I was looking for...

Sorry, I just didn't want to yak it to death here in my progress thread. I like the soda blast because it's non-caustic, and unlike sand, the leftovers can be rinsed away and dissolved with water. So you won't have acid seepage, or sand flying around in the foreseeable future after your resto is complete.

But, what the hell? Live and learn right?

It's Tangerine. Or a really reasonable facsimile.


I'll guarantee ya'll... that's as Tangerine as it gets. I followed the color match process. Troy is neurotic about that kinda stuff. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)

My original "Canary Yellow" was found under the headlight cover. It took nearly a week to get it just right. Jim Chambers can weigh in on that being Canary Yellow...

Gint's paint "really" went on well (only 3-4 big runs). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/w00t.gif)

Seriously, Troy was really pleased with the way it laid out. I'll bet he's blocked it out by now. I'll try to stop by with the the Nikon today. This tub will be stunning.

Andy, shock towers were hand painted black with little care given to the process. That will be a fun one to match. I don't recall from mine but I'm nearly certain it was done "after" the suspension was set. I seem to recall paint on the mounts. Maybe someone can weight in with a picture of the -6 shock tower.

Who's next...? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) Qarl, how bout we bring that tub up here? Jim? Sean?

Troy and I were discussing a chop-top teener. We were talking about taking 1.5 to 2" out of it. I think it would be the cats-@ss. Who's game?

Damn...I was keeping that idea a secret for my next one! Glad to see great minds think alike!

That should be a different thread though...

I think the camera lied somewhat in pics of the canary yellow six and Gint's tangerine. I agree that the recent tangerine pics don't look quite right. My yellow didn't look right in some of the pics either. It looks different and dead-on correct up close and personal. Eric and Troy do good work.

edit: just looked back, the posts on the 18th look a little too pink. The post on the 19th looks real tangerine to me.

Tangerine applied in Stuttgart in 1971.

You can't take pictures with two different cameras ('specially digi-cams) of an orange or red car and have them look the same. The same goes for viewing orange or red cars on two different computer monitors/video cards. That's just the way it is.

Talked to Troy today. The tub is basically for all intents and purposes - done. We have tentative plans for me to pick it up the weekend of 4/9-10. You gonna be around that weekend Eric?

It's gorgeous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/drooley.gif)

It needs to have a final polish but even without it, your car is stunning. Way to go Gint (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif)

I should be around, unless I have to go to Frankfurt.

I think you should wait, pickup the tub, and take it to WCC. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Ain't a snowball's chance in hell I'll make it to WCC. Especially with this tub.

You are a brave man putting that beauty in a wooden trailer. I'd have had someone with one of those 'race-car' trailers go get it!

Can't wait to see how she goes together!

Looks like the ark had IT'S targa top put on when the weather got nasty! I guess the soft top didn't make it! I'm glad you got home OK, and it was a pleasure meeting you in SLC saturday!

You can! I'm going to need some help mounting trunk lids and doors pretty soon.

I don't know why. Heavier, taller lighweight aluminum enclosed trailer vs. lighter, 4' shorter version that I built myself. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this thing across country. Especially if going across Wyoming on I80. Always windy.

Thanks Mark! The tarp was pretty beat up after the first hundred miles or so.

Good meeting all of you guys too. As I said in the dinner post, my only regret is that I couldn't spend more time talking to all of you. I was pretty nervous about getting the tub and the parts all packed up and safe to chat too much though.

This morning after arriving home yesterday evening. The snow stopped during the night. I had over a foot of snow on the front lawn.

Safe and sound with not so much as a drop of water on it.

I can't get a good shot of this little "rasberry" on one of the headlight doors. It happened during transit. I don't know how the hell it happened wrapped up in a blanket.
