I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Miyagi's 3 day deadline teaser pics

Post by miyagi » May 02, 2007

As of Tuesday at 1pm.

When I left at 3pm, it was moving to starting to get masked off. This isn't the hood i'm using ... i have a mint one with no hood pins that i bought from knauff waiting to go on.
Image Image just waiting for the pump covers to get painted nighthawk black pearl when the roof gets sprayed and i can install those. Just need some self tapping screws to install the 6x9's in the rear and i can finish the rest of the interior.

Enjoy :)

There's a bit of overspray on a couple plugs and on the loom ... but other than that it turned out well. I'm going to replace the loom once i get it home ... i was going to do it today while i was down there, but didn't want him to be offended, since i told him i'd take responsibility for prepping the interior and ended up leaving to run errands, and by the time i came back he was ready to spray... so he already did the taping off.

It was the first interior he's sprayed in 22 years in the business ... so with that said, he did very well. Pretty sure i'm just paying for cost of paint on it anyway, so it was well worth it.

The harness was a bitch to get out of the way ... looke dlike a jungle gym in there. Taped up to the steering wheel, up to the roof, etc ... kind of hard to maneuver the gun.

no complaints here ... i'm sure it'll look even better with the rest of the interior in (just panels and front seats, no rears or carpet.)

Is the interior base-cleared? It looks like it shines like mad.

But i don't think so.

Scuffed, sprayed with an adhesion promoter, one thick coat of color, one thick coat of clear immediately after the color.

it does shine like crazy though ... no wet sanding or buffing because of the space constraint ... i was in awe as i watched as it took the transformation from dull red to this in what seemed like minutes.

haha - fair enough ... i'm no body shop major by any means ... i feel out of place down there even working on my own car. Granted i'm not doing anything super important ... but still. I just belong in front of a pizza oven.
