Just Got Carried Away with the Family Project

[Sleeper]

WOW. this project is awesome!

[OVRKILL]

I suggested to the boys that maybe some blue led's would look sick in the tubes but they had both shrugged their shoulders!

Good....or else I would have!

Thanks Jon. I have some "idle" time now that the hulk is at the painter's. (I know how you feel Brent ).

and.....HEY!




You have noooooooooooo idea

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Awesome, keep it up

Thanks Jon. I have some "idle" time now that the hulk is at the painter's. (I know how you feel Brent ) I am doing a little f/g modification to the Ram Air portion of the hood. Seeing that this car is not going to be a daily driver, I have decided to open up the hood intakes as much as possible to make it pleasing to the eye. I will have a snap in panel just in case the weatherman was wrong!
First, I bonded a some flat stock in place to get me the general shape (post above ). Then I took some spray foam to create a base for my f/g in the corners. The messy part followed with laying-up three layers of f/g to create my overall intake shape. The tedious job will now be to make all that mess smooth enough for a gloss black finish. I don't want a transition line and need to have it smoooooth all the way to the back wall. We'll see!





Well, while that was drying I started to cut out for heat extractors at the rear of the hood. I am going to bond in 1 1/2 tubing and flush it up to make it a straight shot out the rear of the hood. I suggested to the boys that maybe some blue led's would look sick in the tubes but they had both shrugged their shoulders!

Thanx Jentry! I removed the door trim panel for paint anyway so it was easier for me to remove the wire harness from the door. I tried to unplug it from under the I/P but it proved to difficult and some connectors are well hidden.

Thank you, i have some issues with my door jams on the door sill towards the hinges and was wondering what was involved in just removing the doors.

[BlackBirdDaddy]

Very, very nice build. Hope to get mine up to at least close to this level cleanliness some day.

On a more technical note, what was all involved in removing the doors? Is it just a couple of "main plugs" or do you have to unwire everything in the the door?

Hey, not everybody goes out to Duggan's to hang out with the MIFBody guys. . . I was stuck at work.

It was torture.

They make me drive a Nissan. lol


The car is really coming along nicely, I can't wait to see it all finished!

Larry, there is no telling how long the "main hulk" will be at the painters. They are a different breed. I'm hoping and I do mean hoping about 2-3 weeks.
Also, thanks for the vote of confidence.

Hope your 2-3 wks arent the same as mine!! You know how many times I've heard that over the course of my build?!?!?

[BlackBirdDaddy]

How long will it be at the painters? I am getting anxious to see this finished! what a great job your doing.

Shit man can I b your 3 rd son

Jon-man, I have a third son but you can be my fourth if you get over here and start doin' some sanding. My arms, hands and fingers are ready to fall off sanding this damn hood.




Now, son #2 had to go to work after he got rid of the GTO moniker on the fuel rail covers and guess who got stuck sanding those!! Yea, ME!






Then, after entertaing a few of my daughter's 13-14 year old girl friends , I went for a dip and got back to sanding the backside of the hood while all you guys are having a blast hanging out of the windows at Duggans!
