II Much teaser: gettin' sideways

**parsonsj** · 03-02-2005

Hey guys,

Here's an unusual photo of II Much before paint. I've finished painting the underneath and engine compartment, and on Saturday it goes down to Road Killer Kustoms in Georgia for paint everywhere else.

John Ulaszek took the photo when he dropped by last weekend. Sorry I ruined the pic by getting in the way.

Nice.. cool pic too..

Looks like you did a "little bit" of fabrication on the car ;)

**Andrew McBride** · 03-02-2005

great fabrication work. I look forward to seeing that car back from paint

The car looks great I just can’t believe how clean the garage is unless you just piled up all that crap behind the camera.

Its really too bad all that hard work won't be visible once the car is completed. You did a kick ass job on the fab work though!

**Salt Racer** · 03-02-2005

Is it time to take II Much out to the track yet?

Better have Corsas shaved and heat cycled while the body's getting painted so we can go to Willow Springs right after SEMA.

Looks bitchin underneath. I think I would just put satin clear on it under there. You could always paint it later if you got tired of the clear. That really is artwork and a shame to cover it with paint.

Hey john, thats the most beautiful entertainment center i have ever seen. You look way tired btw almost done, well close atleast!

**MuscleRodz** · 03-02-2005

Very nice work. I am impressed. Can't wait to see it after paint.

After all of the previous posts, discussions, and pics I knew the car was going to be impressive, but my god is it awesome! I like Charlie's idea of clearing it to show the crasftsmanship to the max. Can't wait to see it all together.

**toddshotrods** · 03-02-2005

He's not tired, he's getting depressed thinking about not having his toy to play with while it's in Georgia.

Looks good John. We all love it, but what do you think about your labor of love?

**David Sloan** · 03-03-2005

Well JP!
As alway's i get stuck just looking at the fab work you have done!!
I cant wait to see it in person, Is sunday every going to get here!!

I'am in the prosess of getting G-Spot(My Wife's 69camaro) out of the shop to make room for IIMuch.

**ProdigyCustoms** · 03-03-2005

Awesome John, simply awesome. i love the attention to detail and forward thinking like tucked exhaust pockets, loop, etc. Looks really sweet, so how mant hours under there? Wanna move to Florida and do it full time?

I've seen the car up close. Actually, John has intentionally carried the fab work over to the exterior for exactly this reason. So spoilers, grillework, tin will be highy visible. You will see form and function blended together. We've been arguing this topic lately: performance vs style. I personally believe that this car will represent a milestone on both sides of the fence.

Make sure you buy the next few issues of Popular Hot Rodding. I'm pretty sure that you will get much more than just a sneak peek of II Much.

**BADVELLE** · 03-03-2005

Looks awesome! Would look better with you not in the pic, just joking. II Much is truely a work of art, both in show and go. Can't wait to see the color on it. I agree with Charley, it would kill me to cover up such nice work underneath. Hey maybe some neon lights underneath to show off the work!!! LOL! Now I must be

!

**coolclassiccars** · 03-03-2005

wow, that is the most impressive chassic i've seen here yet,that car is going to be sick.i can't wait to see it in person.cooooooooooool...

**parsonsj** · 03-03-2005

The bottom is now painted dark gray, race car style. I considered going with clear, because I do prefer the look of the bare steel over paint. But I didn't want my old friend, Mr. Rust, to show up. So I etch-primered it, put on two coats of DP90 (sandwiching 2 part seam sealer), followed by two coats of DCC single stage in slate gray.

All the custom sheetmetal is still visible, and I didn't grind the welds, so it looks the same now, just painted. That will make it easy to clean, and easy to find any stress cracks in the welds.

My long-suffering family actually stayed at a local hotel two nights ago to get away from the paint fumes.

I am pretty tired; I've been working 18-20 hr days for weeks to get this car down to David's company for exterior paint.

As Steve said, please do plan on buying PHR for the next few months. Lot's more of the car will be there.

Todd asked how I feel: I'm tired, I'm elated, and I'm already starting to miss making stuff. Putting paint on the car officially ends the fabrication of the car itself. I still have some fab to do for pedals, seat mounts, and the like. But all the heavy duty stuff is done.

Now I gotta put all the suspension and exterior body panels back on. It goes on Brian Schein's trailer tomorrow afternoon. David, I'll see you Sunday!

Here are a few of the shots I took while giving JP some moral support during his painting marathon. I wish pictures could do the work justice.

**trapin** · 03-03-2005

The fabrication on that floor is simply amazing. I myself have pounded down plenty of Gatorade to replenish fluids from all the salivating.

I mean this with all sincerity John. Get some color on that car and trailer it up to Michigan one year for the Detroit Autorama. I truely feel that with the right attention to detail it will get consideration for the Riddler. How can it not? Seriously, you should've seen the car that won it last year. There was very little fabrication, just a fancy paint job, a supercharger, and boat-load of chrome. Those judges can't ignore fabrication like that. Your car will HAVE to be at least considered.

You can keep it in my gargage for the first night. I'll push my Camaro out into the snow.

**baz67** · 03-03-2005

Damn Tony, kicking out your Camaro for a Nova. You should see what it looks like inside. If JP gives the ok, I can post one of those too.
