Umm, I think you forgot the most important pic of all...
Where's the BIG MEXICAN?!
Anyways, I'll be seeing you guys tomorrow, paint guns are ready to go. Someone's gonna have an all silver car by the end of the night!
lol I told steve to upload those. They are still on his camera. MAn cant wait to get this thing done.
Windshield is in! One step closer to completion.
Paint was post poned until today, So hopefully ill have paint pics tonite.
This is what we do inbetween work. Steve the scooter dare devil. lol
Why not paint it prior to putting the glass in?
The only thing being painted on the car is the quarter. The hood and bumper are being painted off the car. Thing is it was supposed to be painted last Saturday but it we ran out of time and I had already set up the appointment for thrusday.
When is it getting wheels and a drop?
its an old concept. time for something new to take the reigns. - Z yaaaa
Im keeping the lss wheels on it for now. As for the drop im swapping over the suspension off the fire before I sell it.
I've been watching this project and I have to say it's been great. A 500 buck Lss with a great 35 buck rear. Cool to see such great finds come to life.
that was before i broke my asz bunny hopping the scooter
luis at his best

Are you gonna pull the dash/radio bezel and paint it when you do the body of the car?

It will be by then end of this week. We have as close of a match as we are going to get (there are like 3 slighty different shades due to previous collision work), so once I blend onto other panels it should work this time. The last can of paint we had mix was too off hue to even be able to blend it and make it halfway decent.
UPDATES!!
The car is ready to roll. We got it all painted about 2 weeks ago, then did a quick cut and buff at the end of last week (had a little orange peel in the clear, and I guess I was a bit heavy handed and left a run near the bumper). But everything is all back together and ready:
Then we decided at the KGM Mod Day/Swap Meet that the engine bay was two junked up (thanks GM!) so we relocated the cruise module and computer:
Old cluster f$ck
New and Roomy:
And their new home...
Can anyone guess why we had to replace the upper motor mount? lol
looks like a bit of burn thru at the bumper
