Talking Project Update...

How are everybodys projects coming along.???????????

I finally got my chassis stripped and the bottom half painted with POR-15. After the first coat I wasn't happy so I wet sanded my chassis and applied a second coat, looks even better. I'll give it a few days to dry and then I will flip it over and apply two coats to the top half. After that dries I will finally get to bolt my suspension back on and then the body. My body has been off my car for three and a half years and I can't wait untill it goes back on.

I will have a garage floor again.

Thats good to hear Brendan, congrats!

My project isn't that far yet, but I do have to put the body back on the pan to measure the intake duct from the roof to the fire wall and see how much clearance I'll have with a roll cage and the seats. I'm also converting my car to right-hand drive. I'll have more progress in the near future...stay tuned
