Re: project (sweet pea)

i like that dash, very clean and different!

i dont follow where your ignition switch is goin? are you putting it in the wiper switch hole? i read somthing about a radio delete plate, but dont see it???

and about not having any time due to your kid on the way.... you better get out there now, you think your gonna get out there once he/ she is born? haha

Re: project (sweet pea)

thanks....yeah i keep telling my self that with the arrival of my soon to be child...i wont want to spend alot of time out there....but none the less doing a frame off and trying to do everything right in less than a year is not easy....especially when their is not a TEAM of people working on it....Just me...but i think i can pull it off...we will see....As far as where my ignition switch is going.....All i am going to say is that it is hidden and never will be seen. i will however get a few pics of the plate that i made...other than that .....thats one mod and location i am keeping to myself.....Sorry..................

Re: project (sweet pea)

...Firewall is DONE.!!!!!!well after a long morning of some last minute of spot glazing . i sanded the whole firewall down with 180 grit and then some finer 220 grit....then i shot 1 very light coat of etch on the bare metal spots. then followed with a light sanding, 1 light coat of primer. i let that dry for about 5 10 min . 2 more medium coats and one heavy coat.....feels pretty good to get the firewall done...when i first started this i did not think i would have gotten as picky as i did ... you know just a simple shave and that was it...but as i seen the way others did theirs .the ball started rolling and it was a full on shave everything....none the less its done....i will do a final block with some 320 0r 400 seal and shoot some color on it....but that will have to wait for a while....i got to tackle the floor now....Anyways here are a few pics..........Name:  FIREWALL GLAZE 1.JPG

Re: project (sweet pea)

well got off work a lil early today...so i decided to get my engine and trans off the stand and the trans off the floor....after about an hour and a half ....i had it all buttoned up....i may have to take it back out to install all the brake lines...but as easy as it was to put in...shouldnt be no big deal.......and now i can at least roll it up to the other garage and keep all the dust and debris from getting into it.....the old sheet i had covering everything had seen better days.....anyways although not done yet .....its in..............Name:  eng1.jpg
