time for paint and bodywork

[ruppenduro]

i see alot of wetsanding and buffing in your future but she will turn out nice. i love that color.

[mattswabb]

Looks like it came out real nice. Will it be at the fall Ohio meet?

[sasquatch]

nice now get it put together... :evil4:

[batstiva]

Unless I'm not seeing something, looks like the pass. door was your only real runner. Not bad. Also looks like the fumes were getting to you in a couple of those pics. :lol: Nice work!!

[festivaWES]

Surfs up on that Passenger door. Cut that thing with a razor blade first before wet sanding. Nice job though.

[shorestiva]

Theres another run behind the passenger door and another on the drivers door. But the runs aren't the big problem its going to take alot to get all of the bugs out. Its a love it or hate it color. I love it but most of my friends wanted me to change it. The guy that did the bodywork has a 60's ford pickup painted the same color. Im going to start reassembling it tomorrow but theres still alot I want to do and need to buy so its probly going to be awhile before its running. Hopefully ill be able to drive it to ohiostiva but I might trailer it up if its not running.

[eurotiva]

good job. You'll have it running in no time. What size are those slicks/radials? Is it lowered?

[shorestiva]

It had fms springs but ive got coilovers now. iirc they are 205/55/14 nittos

[eurotiva]

^ thanks I am lowering euro next weekend, but that means no more turbo for a while, til it gets raised up.

Anyone have a diagram or pics of where all of the hoses hook up to the gas tank. Theres like 5 hoses that run the the plastic canister in the drivers quarter and I can't remember which one goes where?

I ordered some aluminum spring tops and they should be here tomorrow. Then I can put the rear axle and suspension in so I can sorta roll it around the shop.

[sasquatch]

[sasquatch]

ok here is want you do... put it together and make sure it runs, then take it off your car and put it in a box and ship it to me im looking at mega-squirt kits for sale as we speak... (type... lol) but im looking at the pre built ones, i have the skill and time but i dont have the patience to put it all together lol...
