No doubt...

Black is on, the pictures show more gloss than there actually is... They were still wet, the finished look is a semi gloss. The finish is also textured. turned out sweet.

Buffing a car, that has taken you 5 1/2 years to build, and not rush the job is tough.    I'm almost finished though and it's turning out great....

I cannot add any more positive comments than previously stated - she's breath taking! 

A couple questions if I may: Who manufactures the front sway bar w/ brackets pictured in posting #39? Describe the brake system used, and what brand/number of black paint was used on the V21 and deck stripes?

Thanks.

Thanks everybody

Thanks Nickrc3, The front sway bar is a 1 1/4" tubular from Firm Feel. The front brake system is Baer brakes 14" rotors, 6 piston calipers, with a Hydro boost system. The rear brakes are 11" rotors and the calipers are from a 94 Z-28 with the same style Baer brake rotors. The brake system is amazing on this car! The black paint I tried to simulate the Organosol Black. I used SEM HR010 Hot Rod Black (Single stage Urethane). I put two solid coats on then fogged the last two coats to get the textured finish. I think it turned out pretty good. It looks as close to any "Organosol" paint I've seen at car shows in the Cincinnati area. I'm not to worried, I figure I can take artistic license with the black since it's a custom car anyway...

Thank you!

This project looks great!  I'm glad to have this kinda talent so close. Are you painting yourself? Are you for hire?  I'm also interested in the rearend.  Is this a 4 link?  I cant tell from the picture.  I am looking for someone with some info are doing a 4 link DIY as opposed to dropping  2.5K in a kit.  I want to be able to tweak the ride height.

Looking great! keep up the good work.

[68pplcharger]

Thanks cincyboy... I do all the work myself. Not for hire though, I've got several project behind this one for my two gear-head daughters. always interested in giving tips on how to DIY though.

I forgot to post a shot of the car just after i tore down the paint booth. Hopefully get some more pics coming now that I have the car running again with the new wiring harness.
