[hydroforce]

[golden73]

I love silver 2nd gens.... especially when there is a red stripe on the back

Are you going to add a stripe?

[NorwayCharger]

Hi, the color is a toyota/lexus 1F2 it is a flake-like silver with no pearl.
If you use it you must use a fine silver as a ground coat.

I use all PPG and was going to use water base on the carb, but i was having trouble with the gross flake-like silver, so i ended up with using solvent base.
Now PPG has come with a new line of silver base line for the water system so i guess the have corrected the problem
In Norway there will be no solven base after 01-01-07...

I am thinking about a bumble stripe, but i have to see.
Have a lot of plans,here are some.

Light tinting of the windows.
Maybe a blackout hood.
Bumble stripe in a light grey semi gloss met.
LED light for the rear and hood lights.
70 door panels in black and grey.
blackout rear panel.
Fiberglass bumpers painted with ALSA chrome paint.
Boyd rims JYD 18x10, 17x8 with Nitto tires

Right now i have to get me some weather stripping for the car and i was wondering if i should get soffseal or Metro???
I have seen some weather stripping of bad quality, but i dont know what brand they where.
Any of you have some experience?

[RT/SE]

[PocketThunder]

I LOVE the JYD rims. Still has the classic look to them, and I think they would look great on a Charger. That's what I plan to run on mine after its restored.

[jaak]

  looks great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[73rallye440magnum]

beautiful, looks like it turned out great. you wont end up doing it two more times like i did... thats a very nice booth.

[ChargerSG]

Looking good! What kind of motor is going to be in the car, original?

[Shakey]

Well done!

Keep us posted with more progress pics.

[NorwayCharger]

Looking good! What kind of motor is going to be in the car, original?

It is a 440+060 over with Eddy heads, RPM intake, Comp Cam XE285HL, New forged crank w/4340 H-beams rods, KB hyper-pistons 10,2-1 comp.
All is machined and balanced.
Also 3,91. 8 3/4 rear with a gearvendor OD unit, TCI super streetfighter 727.
Nothing too fancy, but i think it will be ok

[golden73]

Sounds like a pretty nice combo 

What size carb do you plan to run?

[6670charger]

looks like it'll be a sweet ride when it's done.

[firefighter3931]

Beautiful car and nice driveline combo !

[Brock Samson]

   

  WOW! that's a wonderful sight!

thank you! Norway,..

[NorwayCharger]

Got some paint on the hood, doors, fenders etc...
I have to rub down the hood and give it 2 coats off clear , due to some dust and pubichair
It can happend to the best, and now it did again........

[Silver R/T]

wouldnt you want to paint car with all the panes on it at the same time...since its got metallic flake in it and way it lays on panels would be different if you were to spray all the parts separate

I thought the same thing, but I think he knows what he is doing. If I did it, there'd be 5 different hues of silver.

[Johnny SixPack]

Norway, did you go with the manual or power steering on the RMS K-member?

Just saw that power was an option now, and I'd love to hear which you went with.

Thanks.

You have absolute right
I would not recomend this metod with silver, or other colors that contains a lot of silver.
Things that would change the metallic color is:
1) Air pressure
2) Thinner ( Slow/Normal/long )
3) How much thinner
4) Distance from car-spraygun.
5) How heavy coats/ many coats.

And maybe other factors as well...

I got lucky with color match , but if not i had to do the entire car..

Wow!
