Roaring Forties #49 John Schneider

Many paint companies have flattening agents(additives)

to reduce glare. The results look a lot nicer than a sanded

finish.

 

Wow again,,, /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Don't scratch it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

I used just a rattle can to paint the insides of the doors and spider.
Semi gloss black. So the glare shouldn't be bad.
All in all it came out very nice and all that from a $3.00 can of spray paint.

 

Quick update

 

another one

 

last one for now

 

It's been a while so here are a few new shots.
Photography is not my strongest area so please forgive the quality. I will have the wife shoot a few soon. It should be running next week.
Cross your fingers.
John

last one for now this still needs the bottom shield put back on but...

 

Here's my heatshield. I put the blanket on then covered it with this piece of stainless. 1000 helicoils later and "voila" a rear to pretty to keep closed.

John, it looks fantastic! You must be psyched to get it on the road. Congrats on a fine car.

 

Pete, knock yourself out. I actually got the idea from my buddy Jerry's ERA.
