I used an epoxy floor finish in my floor ("color chips" I believe...). It will chip if abused but almost no chemicals will touch it. It looks a lot like the rustoleum kits but higher solids... Lots...

I hate it, but I'm too far away ;) sounds like fun...

I don't know needle numerology so what is the stock needle. What kind of step in needle size relatively did you make?

Very nice. It is much easier when working with OEM panels and parts. Looks great and sealed better than factory...

We are not real close, but if I can help let me know. You might could drive it up and we could tighten things up...

Actually I think you have done really well for the amount of work you have completed. If you have any kind of life at all 6 months is not bad. I only get one or two weekends a month to work on my...

If cash is tight, a good running motor with good compression is cheaper than the machine work and parts it will take to rebuild what you have. Also it will be quicker than waiting on a machine...

Is that a NOS door skin? How did you roll the edge? Where did you find all the NOS parts? Front upper frame support, possibly outer wheel wells, etc.. Pretty work
Charles

I agree that is a lot of welding and grinding. You did a good job fabbing the rocker areas. Many people just buy the replacement rockers and cut out the patches they need. How long was it from going...

Thanks, I will look into that...

E-tek,
the way I heard it was you "there is good, fast and cheap, you can have any two..." or "...you can only have two of the three..."
Charles

That sounds like a good nights work, congrats
Charles

I did some googling on this and didn't come up with anything. How would you go about making a VS grinder/ buffer?

Sean240z,
How tall are you? I have often wondered if I could even wear a helmet in a 240z. The cars have a tremendous amount of room for a car of this age but I am 6'5" so was just curious......

Be careful where you throw all the sparks they damage glass and interior panels...

I agree with Leon. The last engine I built was a 350 chevy which is fairly cheap to rebuild and I had $3500 or so in just the long block, no injection , exhaust or ignition. I did all the assembly...

Did you find any flares while you were there?

Very nice as always. Steve, do you know up to what number car these would have been on?
Charles

I agree with John, the price is too low to be able to take your time and do it right. It took me 40 hours to do my first floorboard all sealed and painted. I could do it faster on the next one. Bondo...

I think some of that is regional. CA,OR & WA tend to have a good number of these cars just from reading the "I spy" thread. Here in the deep south I very rarely see them on the road and the projects...

"What are you doing????" That made me laugh, I could see one of my girls saying that... :)

I believe there are a number of guys here who have used this kit. They might be able to give you some tips if you need specific help. You might want to add Caswell in the thread title to catch...

I second that. It may be a truly low number car and I am not sure beating it up with cones would be my first choice...condition translates not only into money but time, if you are going to do the...
