I need to make time to stop and see how things are going... should be close to paint, maybe another month (month and a half) before it is parked in my garage so that I can start installing everything back...

Patience IS a virtue... this is just taking sooo much time....

Bumpers and engine lid now in primer. Frame for the front screen is also done. Stainless steel mesh arrived and will be mated to the frame next.

The longer it takes, the sweeter the reward! ;)

I've been wondering, what is the advantage to that kind of gas tank with the filler cap in the hood?

It is just for looks...nothing else ;) to me, it looks cool.

Etham 05-07-2014 04:22 PM

I totally agree, but I thought maybe there was more capacity or baffles in it or something. It's definitely not easier to fill. We have state mandated full service gas stations here in the Jerz, so I'm thinking I might skip it. :/

ohh... having someone else, that does not care about my car, with one of those gas hoses and the nozzle over the fender and hood...:mad: I can imagine the amount of scratches and cursing that would be going on...

Super! ...and Finally! I was beginning to wonder when we were going to see this come together.
Pardon me if it was said before but looks like your bumpers required similar attention as mine... do you mind sharing who made them? I fail to understand why they can't be made to fit correctly from the get go???

wachuko 02-22-2015 06:17 PM

Those came with the car and the boxes and boxes of parts... sorry, no idea where those came from. But yes... lots of work to make them fit correctly.

He had to cut them to fit! Remember?

Hi Wachuko. Can you tell me what paint and primer you are using?

Can't remember... it is all PPG... I only have a photo of the primer we used, not the paint. But again, all PPG.

Primer
