5-16-09 project update-late
















Ok. I tried to post this on the 16th but had PC problems. Hers where I'm at now. I have POR15d most of the inside of the car. Working on getting this thing ready to paint the inside. Cleaned everything up and brushed on the POR15. Still have some cutting out of rust but it shouldnt take much more to get that out and new metal in. Not going back with a headliner just going to paint it. Once the painting is done I'm going to install the rollcage.The rollcage is painted. I scotchbrited the whole thing,wipped it down and then rattle can painted it satin black. looks great. The bar is going to be modified somewhat on the rear legs. Instead of mounting to the rear luggage area the legs are going to be shortened and mounted to the fenderwells. I have seen this done on other cars and have already dry if it to make sure. Just need to cut the legs and heat and contour the base plates. Easy...lol. I'm going to use some roll on bedliner paint for some of the inside of the car...footwell,floorboards and headliner area. Dont have any idea on gages yet...lol. I took out the factory ones and tore out the gage panels. I'm thinkin about going back with just flat steel inserts that I cut myself and not sure if I'm going to paint them or distress the finish and just clear 'em. If I do distress them I'm also going to do the same on the door and quarter panels inserts, which I'm cutting out too. Going to order my wheels and fuel cell this week(5-18). Got the trim hole welds ground down on the outside today also.Still have way too much work to get done but I'm trying everyday to make some progress.Check back soon!! Till next time...
