Yeah never judge a book by its cover! But yeah I knew you didnt look at the bottom, no need really for what you needed it for. The strut towers were repaired like crap, and there was another hole I could put my fist through on the other side, and up front on the wheel well too. Side skirts we held on by hopes and dreams AKA rust too! lol

No idea why it didnt run, but I can pop the head off to see inside and pull the pan if you cared too. It would make a good rebuilder I am sure for someone.

BUMP:

Finished the Ninja stunt tank, and took it for a ride with Nick last week. Both of us were shakey first time out this season… he highsided out of a drift and pulled a ligament in his knee that chipped a bone 15 mins into the ride. Got surgery today on that as a matter of fact. 3 weeks he will be back on it. I didnt crash it, but I wasnt trying hard enough I guess! 🙂 But the bike came out nice!

Did a quick paintjob on a racing tractor! Black base, kandy blue real flames and cleared. These are prior to kandy. Completed pics are waiting to be uploaded. Also powdercoated the nurf bars and roll bar.

Ollies Infinity came in and got the door dent fixed and the rear trunk conversion painted, made some downpipes, mids and cat back pipes tucked up to keep from bottoming out, then ran out of tubing and had to order more. Tips are in the process too. Pics of all that coming soon.

Installed a Tien Comfort Sport coilover system, Kinetix front upper adjustable control arms, rear traction and control arms, brake upgrades, centerforce clutch and flywheel, then sent to to Albany Speed for a very time consuming alignment on G35 coupe.

Just the scoop painted, and you install? or we do the whole 9 yards?

What color is the truck?

Most basecoats are around $40 a pt for run of the mill paint, $80 a pt for Spiez (very high quality paint, better coverage, better blending, etc) $20 for reducer. Thats a solid color, it goes up and up, fast, when metallics and pearls are used. A tri-coat pearl color can be something like $170 a pt, EACH (metallic base, then pearl mid coat), so $340 a pt for base! Clear is $20-80+ a qt mixed (doesn’t come in pints, we get gals and just charge for quantity consumed) Depending on quality for clear.

For a scoop you are looking at about $80 in materials, as long as its already painted or primed out of the box. If its raw plastic, it needs an adhesion promoter and a bunch more prep time. Just painted, 1.5hrs body time for labor… thats prep, paint, cut and buffed. $82.50+ tax for labor.

Get me the paint code and I will get a cost on the base, I might be able to get them to do a 1/2 pt.

So are we!

The eclipse project is big. The trans has to go out for rebuild. head needs to be machined and built. AWD car was a bit rusty, so we have to take it all apart, sand blast and see whats shot and replace that, then rebuild… long road ahead.

No prob dude. Thanks for embedding it for me lol. For some reason I cant embed on my laptop. I dont get it. Works on every other comp I use

But yeah, the exhaust puts a huge smile on my face every time I hear the car fire up.😃 Just awesome. Literally exactly what I had envisioned. So on point and so right for a vip car!

paintwork is awesome too especially considering how shitty that dent was and matching the paint almost perfectly on a tricoat metallic pearl! legit pics of the car coming soon (after we finish the tips most likely)
