So whats the plan Lou? Assemble and fit everything then tear down and paint? Rolling tub then paint? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I needed to put the suspension under it to move it, however, it's probably a little of both, the body is already straight. Some people have said that the glass decklids and I think possibly the glass bumpers may need some fine tuning for fit. I'd like to get all of that settled before I start painting. In addition, now that I have the suspension under it, I need to make a descision on the wheel tire combo and determine if I'll need to make any adjustments to the wheelwells. I'm sure that I'll remove some of the parts to paint the body. |

The body looks great Lou, nice and straight. What are you useing for an
undercoating? I see you were hit by the jack point bandits, heard of this before. Let me see if I can find that story... here it is. QUOTE Actually the theft of jack points has reached epidemic perportions. Jack point theft rings out of California fan out across the western states and hit with out warning. They are then smuggled into mexico by "green backs" who swallow them and than illegally sneak across the border. There they are retrieved, melted down and made into tacky patio furnature. Be thankful that they only got one. Lucky thats all you lost Lou. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) I used Body Schutz, it's really not undercoating, it's more of a texture finish. It's very similar to the stuff that they use on the rockerpanels and valances of alot of newer cars, it came in black and I shot clear over it to keep it cleaner. Attached image(s) ![]() |

Looks like the holes showing thru from the inner fender well for the charcoal filter
tubes. Eather that or they are fender lip nipples. How about it Lou? |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Thanks for the compliments guys, I'm looking forward to moving the car from the storage unit in So Cal and getting back to work on it up here in Oregon. It went into storage in June. Watching the progress of other peoples cars, has me anxious to get work on mine again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |
