Everything was going well today.   Started by using my spot welder to start welding the right 1/4 to the rocker panel and the outer wheel house and then   Pooof  !!!   my harbor freight spot welder caught fire while I was in the middle of a weld in the wheel opening.        That's what I get for buying Harbor Freight crap made in china

Back at it with a new and improved spot welder. Not much metal work to show, spent the day doing the final fit and welding on the 1/4's    Then I decided to play with some colors.  The body Lines on the car make it very easy to two tone until you get o the middle of the door.

Looks good, but have you thought about doing your red stripe in silver?

[sardillim]

sort of    I was thinking of adding silver to both sides of the orange.     that is not the orange I,m going to use  I have the color formula I want to use in ppg   but the paint distributor i use dose no carry that brand so I had to go through the color chips and find something close    the color I want to use ha a lot more orange in it

I agree!
The silver would look awesome in place of the orange.

I am hoping to get back on it in a couple of weeks  maybe 4 straight days over the 4th of July weekend.    Unfortunately I also own this thing called a house with a yard that takes a lot of my time.   I really need to get my priorities in order!!

I'm Back !!!

It's been quite a while mostly due adding a cnc plasma table to my arsenal of fab equipment.  With this machine I was able to design and cut the rear frame rails.  One of the many advantages to this machine is that when you need more than one on the same part they all come out the same.  Today I made the inner sleeves that will and strength at the point were the new rail will meet the viper rear clip.  Welding up the rails and installing them should happen next weekend
