Joe, I have hard time believing that...
And from what I remember, you have a least 2 914's that you can drive -

I was trying to figure out how I could continue painting, and deal with the issues of needing fresh air, and exhausting the fumes....
This is what I came up with today -
It actually worked OK...

Here is my fresh air...
I took a shop vac with a filter, reversed the hose, and put the shop vac on the outside of the garage door. I ran a couple of 2x4's under the door with the hose coming in under the door, through a gap, between 2 boards on the floor...

Then for my exhaust, I was going to do the reverse of the same thing, but in order to do this I was going to have to come up with another shop vac. I really did not want to go to that expense, so instead, I took a leaf blower, and accomplished the same thing... There are 2 problems with the leaf blower... It is hard to sit on its side, and it is a LOT louder than a shop vac...

That looks awesome.

I'm curious about the primer you're using. The engine bay was obviously stripped, but the front trunk looks like you sprayed over (factory?) paint. So you're using one primary for both?

Keep up the great project.

I am using SPI's Epoxy primer... Regular build primer provide's no protection to water,humidity, or even oxygen.... The water would eventually work its way right back to the metal using a regular build primer, if your paint is not applied shortly there after-

Whenever I need info on painting, I go here -
http://spi.forumup.org/index.php?mforum=spi

Yes, I am spraying over the factory trunk paint, after I spent 3 days cleaning it with denatured alcohol, and scotch brite pads..

I am using an HVLP gun, and I have a 220v 60 gallon compressor -

OK - I can't take credit for this idea, but I am excited that I won these on ebay this week - Ferrari stainless mufflers, with the butterfly valve, for sound control -
These are very similar to drivability's mufflers on his V8 car, whom deserves the credit for coming up with these in the first place - These mufflers are for the 550 -
These ended up $225 total shipped -
