Re: Jans 53
haha gorgeous!
I had a BMW friend who was married, he had some scheel seats in the living room and a M10 head with dual webers on the kitchen table. outside the driveway and back yard were FULL of projects. his wife didnt mind at all. she lived one street over in her own place. he tried to fill up the driveway there with projects though and she had them towed to his place edit: he is still at it. there are probably 10 cars in the back yard, and every bmw in the picture is his, from the blue one on the right to the green one on the extreme left and all up the driveway (the mini is built by BMW too)

Re: Jans 53
I am guilty of rebuilding a manual transmission on my kitchen island once (I did put plywood underneath to protect the tile). It was warmer and the lighting was way better than the garage.

Re: Jans 53
Spent the day rebuilding my hinges. Think I’m going put a little blob of weld on the side of the pin after I cut and taper the end so it can’t ever back out while in the truck

Re: Jans 53
Not bad at all, had to heat up the the hinges to knock out the pins, welded up the door spring holes and redrilled them to 15/64 then drilled out the hinge pins to 11/32 lubed with some never seize.

Re: Jans 53
beautiful work. you spend more time perfecting hinges than I do on most anything, there is something to be said for that kind of attention to detail! KUDOS!

Re: Jans 53
Those look great! Wish I'd thought to weld them from the back.

Re: Jans 53
Sprayed a satin UreKem test color this weekend on an old fender I had laying around. It sprayed out great but not sure if I like it or not, thinking into the future I’m afraid it will fade over time into a pinkish red. Might look for a lighter color less prone to fade.

Re: Jans 53
Glad to see you back on the truck. The color looks good, but a little lighter could work too.

Re: Jans 53
The color looks great. I would even like to see it a darker shade. My friend painted his 2nd gen Camaro in a satin maroon/burgundy and I thought that it looked very cool.

Re: Jans 53
That's a nice color. Shiny or satin, that's a personal preference.

Re: Jans 53
I like the maroon...but I agree...there is a downside to anything buy gloss
