Prime, block, glaze, block, prime again and re-block…
Flipped front end and sprayed black coating

You aren't afraid of work. I guess eating and sleeping are overrated? Gonna be a cool car.

Yeah I have been at it hard for 2 years. Nice to see it done, can’t wait to drive it this weekend. I put wheelie bars on and did the front end alignment yesterday, gonna weigh it today, just a few more little details to finish off. Then the Porsche comes back in to repaint. Last year I was in such a hurry to replace and fix the damage from the wreck I squared the panels off and the paint didn’t match. It’s driving me crazy.

And such a small difference that only a painter would notice or someone with OCD....lol.

I just got back from weighing the car looks like I built it plenty heavy! sort of surprising. Actually,
I will double check the weight again at Atco. Anyhow, I noticed the transmission seem to be slipping a lot in reverse, by the time I got home and went to unload the car I noticed the transmission is really having problems. so back up on the lift to change that out.

So i decided to paint the underside of the hood before replacing. So now you can see the color I chose it’s a carbon metallic and boy it has some huge flakes. Had to finish up the deck lid, mirror, spoiler and other parts.
