[rhurley]

Mounting Doors, fenders, hood an trunk this week.

Will block the rest of the car and trying to Find a booth to Rent in the denver area to spray the car!

[xsboost90]

coming together nicely! Cool color. I like the five window, i painted one of those years ago corvette blue and it was alot of work.

[rhurley]

Started to get all the panels fitted for final block and paint.

This front valance was and still is a pain in my ass. Looks like garbage, but will do for now.

I will order a 3rd one and do it right once the car is running.







Masked the car as much as i could and rolled it into the trailer.







As usual, had a hickup when driving to the booth.........

4x4 metal tube fell off the truck in front of me, swerved and missed the truck, but the trailer wasnt so lucky......

[rhurley]

I got ahold of an old friend and got to use his works decent booth. Had good filtration and Baked.



Car all ready to spray.






Final coats of base.








Ready for clear!






CLEAR







Finished product.

[rhurley]

Car need a good cut and polish to show the pearl and metallic. But I am very happy with the results so far!!

On to the easy part for me! I love mechanics and assembly........ Body work and paint i have come to hate with a passion, and will never do that again.

[wfo guy]

Very nice.

[rhurley]

Started mounting pedals and Master, with my Firewall brace.








And After order $240 dollars in parts that i then found yesterday........

I decided i needed to clean and organize the garage so this doesnt happen again.

[rhurley]

Dropped in the fuel tank.




Going to start running fuel lines and brake lines. Just waiting on line clamps.

Also ordered an IDIDIT column, should be here Wed.

First time Poster, Long time Stalker....

I am the "Uncle" that started the build on this car along with Rhurleys' "real" Uncle.

I am so stoked the he is finally finishing this car! Ryan his Sisters and his now grown cousins all helped when they were young taking this car apart. I made Rhurley scrape old seam sealer of the inside of the car after the cage install. I spent a lot of time welding on that car!

He is staying very true to the original build as we wanted to build a race car, but still have it steetable, Therefore a Legit SCCA Vintage A/ Sedan replica fit the bill as it still requires roll up windows, etc. Very excited to watch the project get bolted together!

Pretty funny seeing all the plastic boxes of parts I carefully boxed up and that have been moved more times than i can imagine!

[rhurley]

got the IDIDIT column, and hacked off the original shaft.




Made it into a DD










Also got my Sway bar. 1-1/8" Biggest i could find!

[rhurley]

Mounted my Shock tower brace kit also, so i can Finish up the front suspension and not worry about that down the road






Mounted fuel pump an ordered a ton of fittings. Dont quite no what il need as far as bends.





Ran the 2 front brake lines. and got the front have the rear mounted. Hooked all to my distribution block fits good. But i dont have room for the lines from the master to the block.........

Going to need to get creative on some super tight bends!

I appreciate what you said about never painting again but if you do another project, I think you might repeat. Looking good. Glad the relative approves.

Looks great! Painting is the easy part. All the prep is what sucks! LOL

Aint that the truth!! But its what makes the paint worth it!

[Josh@Ridetech]

Good work man! Like the color choice too.

[rhurley]

Tinman Fab weld in subframe connector got here.

Hopefully burning those in tonight.







Made some brake lines work, Not the prettiest, but they will work.

I wish I had made a little fireball brace like you did. Smart idea, since the firewall flexes like crazy with manual brakes.

Have you tried working with NiCopp brake lines? you may never use anything else, ever again.

Which MC are you using?
