Well fellas not dead. Not done either but havent quit. Im not real sure where i stopped updating. Got my thread locked. Then bossman opened it but i didnt make it back in time. So locked up again. Lol sorry GP403

Anyway. I finished the tank and most interior wiring. Gauges needs finished. Got hp tuners and got it running after finding proper injector data and binging goat rope.
I shot 2 more coats of high build(3rd rd) blocked with 180. Filled minor imperfection and pinholes with dolphin glaze and blocked with 180. This is the result. My though is to spray 2 wet coats of epoxy. Start blocking with 300 then 400. Then clean seal and spray color.

Sprayin 2 wet coats of upol high build sunday. On the trunk and deck lid. So then hopefully every panel will be ready for final blocking.

The bumper covers sucked. They had spray paint on them. Took it off with a decal remover. That left stock paint. I blocked straight and used heat to make it right

i didnt take them to bare plastic. Just remove the checked paint and smooth the factory paint down. It was in 180 Handblocked. cleaned with 99% isopropyl alcohol.

This will get sanded with 220. Then 2 wet coats of spi epoxy. Hoping theyll be straight enough by then to seal and shoot color. ive said this 1000 times but ill have it painted in september.

Been slow going. Bought the family season passes to cedar fair parks. So we went to kings dominion, then carowinds b4 heading to florida for some bass fishing with my dad. Then came home and went to kings island 10x and cedar point 2x. Worth every penny
