Finally got around to spray the trunk/underside/wheel wells. First I sprayed PPG DP90 epoxy, then top coated everything with "Raptor" spray in bed liner. I love the spray in bed liner! It looks like factory except waaay nicer and stronger. The $150 truck bed kit was enough to do my whole floor pan and trunk (barely).

Thanks for the compliment. Its a little intimidating posting fab work on here because there are so many well built high end cars on here.

Thier isand i think the quality just keeps on getting nicer as time goes on. It is like playing on a great team and you tend to play up. i find myself learning from all these great guys and builds that it only benefits our builds. What type of gun did you use to shoot the bed liner. What was the tip size?

I'm tuned in for this one! I love GNs. Funny thing, there are 2 in my neighborhood that are parked in front of houses like a Kia or something. One never moves.

That came out looking great!

Hey I just noticed you live in York! I'm in Cecil MD, we should meet up some time.

It was a $20 "shutz" gun. I bought mine through Autobodytoolmart.com where I bought the Raptor bed liner. I threw my gun away after I was done with it because they are so cheap and it looked like it would have taken a half gallon of laquer thinner to clean it.

I drag race at Cecil. Probably have @100 passes there on bikes alone. I wouldn't mind having this thing back together for the fall show in Ocean City, MD. That's probably wishful thinking.

I love this project, great work! The mini-tub job turned out awesome.

I cleaned the fire wall up a bit. I got rid of a few holes I no longer needed and smoothed out a bunch of factory spot welds.

Heres the before and after shot. I top coated this with Eastwood ceramic chassis black. Its supposed to be satin but has a little bit of sheen to it (maybe adding some reducer would flatten it out a little more).

looking good!!!!!

Remember that if you ever need an extra hand, i'm down to help!

I removed my HUGE stock heater box and got a heat/defrost only kit from Vintage air. Its basically a heater core with a blower motor on it that mounts inside the car under the dash. I built this block off plate and a pair of catch can/breathers to mount on the passenger side of the firewall. One catch can for each valve cover.

Nice build - i love the attention to detail and "stock-like" appearance of everything.

I really like your build and mini-tub the rear. Gong to subscribe to this thread.

Looks great!

That blockoff plate is amazing!

What vintage air kit are you going with?

Any photos of the blockoff plate from the interior so I can see how the heater mounts to the plate?

I currently do not have heat in my Monte, and this looks like a really good solution.

I just googled "Vintage air Heat defrost" and it popped up right away. Its only like $230 from summit. I do not have pictures but I mounted mine under the dash (behind the stereo area). It would be pretty easy to mount it directly to the HVAC block off plate. Its small!
