Lots of new goodies and progress. First off skirts and rear bumper are almost ready for paint gonna finish off on monday then they go in wed night for primer. I picked up a cluster bezel with holes for gauges and bought some depo gauges, i got oil pressure and volt meter. So with tge hydodippin failure i decided to paint all the parts myself. I got something called black efex its basically black with color flakes in it. Under the light it shimmers kinda maroon and green looks pretty kick *** but pics dont show it very well. Also picked up some black honeycomb mesh for all the openings on the front. The show im in is on the 28th so i gotta get crackin.

There not wired up yet cuz I dont know if i want to leave the covers on the gauges but i think it kinda matches the shape of the dash.






Skirts sanded

Made the harness for the gauges and got a t fitting for the electric sending unit. Front lip and skirts come off tomorrow for final preping.


Used high build primer on my radio bezel to smooth it out still needs one more coat then paint.

Got my deck bezel painted and cleared and started to wetsand it. Its alot of bloody work but should look good once finished. The lower right side is wet sanded and polished to show how it will look. I got body shop grade aresol clear in a spray can it cost 40 bucks but its a great product well worth the money
