Finally something to show

[kev]

Thats looking really cool...I wana see those puppies glowing

[juvius]

thanks guys... i won't post a pic of it lit up until the body work is done.. that way i can light up the tails, the third brake light and the reverse lights so i can show it off... i'm hoping to be done with the rear within a week.... i would actually be out there working on it still but i ran out of cutting discs to start on the other side... those buckets are 14 gauge and just eat the disks up...

Nice job Steve!!

[juvius]

are you going to have reverse lamps?

[juvius]

I finally got the passenger side put together. it didn't go as smoothly as the driver's side... i think i got that "i know what i'm doing" attitude. Never-the-less, below is a pic of the light in place on both sides now. Now i have to finish welding both sides in and start the body work. My goal is to be done working on the rear by sunday night....

Hurry up and get done so you can come help me. (lookin good... motivating me to buy filler this month so I can start my body work)

you got an estimate of what painting is going to cost?

thanks... i put a thin coat of filler on and roughed it up then put a thicker coat on... going to let it sit til tomorrow to break out the straight line air sander with some 36 grit... doesn't that sound fun.... Going to buy a paint kit that comes with a gallon of base, a gallon of clear, and the hardners and thinners for $250.00 from the coating store. then i'm either going to paint it myself, or pay someone to shoot it.... I'm looking at getting Midnight Blue Pearl....

Lol and lol again, and you can paint too? I have never tried that

[juvius]

it would be a first for me to.. at least first time painting a whole car. i have based and cleared a fender on a porsche 944 that i used to have with good results... honestly, i'd rather a seasoned painter do the honors. I hate to mess up all my hard work with a bad paint job...
