Its been a while but here are some pictures of my car I changed directions on the rear suspention to an air ride G bar. here are some parts the original radiator suport and inner fender. one picture is of the convertable rockers to stiffen the body . My Rushforth's should be here in a few weeks so Mike can start the Fan 9 . I haven't talked to him this week end so the sub frame might be together.

Wow awesome metal work, coming along nicely. Keep posting pics please!

Thanks ! Mike's an awesome fab man. If you ask him about something you've naver seen done that sounds complicated to you. He explains it like it as easy as tieing your shoes. In these pictures you can see how fussy he is.

Hey Wayne,

What's the latest on your project??

Man, when your car's finished and you take your first drive it's going to feel like you're taking a test drive in a brand new car... right off the showroom floor (with about a 1,000 upgrades...)

Mike sure knows how to "document" his builds, doesn't he??? It looks like he employs someone just to take all the pictures!

By the way, one more question... what's that greenish/yellow color on all the panels? Is that some kind of epoxy primer or some other kind of preservative??

I'm sorry if it was described earlier and I missed it.

Thanks Ray, I can't wait to get it back and start putting it together. I'm dieing to hear my engine run. Mike said he would post some picturs of my car . I don't like to take him away from his work for pictures.
The paint is a weld through epoxy primer. I'm not sure of the brand but Mike uses it on all his builds. Then he puts undercoating on the inside of the panels.

Guys this is not a Epoxy primer !!!

It is a Etching/Sealer undercoating(Primer) that you can weld through , and provides excellent resistance to corrosion.

The Etching/Sealer primers we use is green. The Epoxy primer we use is black.

Thanks,

That is a crazy build you got there Wayne. When I saw the first pictures of the ca of skeleton I was like "this has to be a joke"! But Mike does some awsome work. Hows it going now?

Hi Guys not much to report on the body as Mike is finnishing a car to get it out then mine is next. I'm geting anxious to get started on it.
I have been busy geting some parts . I picked up a Fast classic EFI from a member here. I would love to find an XFI to upgrade to but can't afford $1500. Unless someone has a great deal for me. I also picked up some fuel system parts ,I got a Weldon 1100 fuel pump and a couple of Aeromotive fuel filters for the EFI . I also bought some Autometer Ultralite 2 1/6" gauges for the console. I got the electric gauges for oil, water temp, and Volt. I still need the fuel level gauge 4314 and the gauge pod. Thats about it for now thanks for asking , atleast this way I get to talk about it .
