He said lil craters...something to do with the setup time difference between the first coat and the other coats.

Sounds like Solvent Pop. LEON.

Beer · October 18, 2009, 06:08:23 PM

Got some Pics...Suspension, he said he has more clearcoating to do, should be all done Wednesday now...

mikepmcs · October 18, 2009, 07:01:08 PM

Roger that...from the shop...

"Here are the pics from today... rear end installation, fits well.
We still have to paint clear on the roof, rear quarters 1 more time, then will unmask and send final pictures.... possibly Tues. or Wed.

Beautiful! Very nice Jim!

Beer · October 21, 2009, 12:53:08 PM

Called the shop, they said there is still some solvent pop in areas, going to check it out Friday when I pick it up.

Likely if its an issue for me, they can get it when AMD comes out with the Dual exhaust cutout valance (will have them fit it and paint it).

Mike I think will post some pics later tonite, if he makes the shop. Should be the first pics of it with everything uncovered.

They are wrapping up welding in the subframe connectors today, and tomorrow they will be bolting on the marker lights, locksets, spoiler and the door handles, as well as setting the rear window and trim back in place.

Get off the rig tomorrow! A Beer version of Planes trains and automobiles...will be Helicoptor, Bus, Plane, truck LOL...

Friday Morning load the trailer on the truck and off to get the Charger and bring it home

Beer · October 21, 2009, 09:19:57 PM

Hey he sent Pics...Pics not that great lighting wise, look for good pics Friday afternoon after I pic the car up!

Beer · October 21, 2009, 09:21:19 PM

Mo Pics, the trunk lid is growing on me...I am leaning towards the ralley side stripes now though...
The cop wheels are on Back Order so that plan may change up to Torq Thrust or Magnums...

Brock Samson · October 21, 2009, 10:22:37 PM

that looks really good,.. except for the color...

I know your stoked...

firefighter3931 · October 21, 2009, 11:05:12 PM

Looks fantastic Jim.

A set of torque Thrust D's with the dark centers would look killer ! I like the side Rally stripe idea as well

+1 for the side stripes...I love 73/74 Rallye stripes. My Rallye was actually a stripe-delete car, but when I get it painted one day, I want to install a stripe.

Beer · October 23, 2009, 08:30:10 AM

Pick up @ 12 EST
Thanks guys, looking forward to doing the assembly thread, that one will probably run as long as this one did.

Should have Day light sunny Pics posted after supper, have to show it a few people before it comes off the trailer.

Beer · October 23, 2009, 03:29:57 PM
