Off to the media blaster today, everything except the outer back where some surfacing work was already begun. The front right fender was massaged do to poor factory fit. This car now starts where it should of 6 months ago. All is well now and it can move forward!
It’s Back!
Mel’s car is back to be completely stripped, media blasted, all parts replated and rebuilt along with powder coating various parts. As you can see it would of been a crime to continue on the path this car was headed as some of the surfacing had already begun. Shiny paint can’t hide whats underneath. I started today taking the rest of it apart and will have it on a rotisserie and headed for blasting by the first of next week.
On the Ground
Off the lift and on the ground. Using Rob’s Dino wheel badges (Only the Best).
Wheels and Tires
Suspension
Moving along, finally starting suspension. Rob opted for coil over shocks custom made by Nics Forza Ferrari. Almost ready for the motor install
Doors
With the doors basically done after 3 days I can move on to the next project. The door are very difficult as there are so many things that need to work together and fit right.
Clearcoat
First coat of clear went on, what a difference the clear coat makes! It gets sanded again before the final clear coat. It’s looking awesome, Brad at Speedzone doing a masterpiece!
Painting the Basecoat
Today Brad sprayed 2 coats of the base color over the urethane primer. It’s starting to come alive!
