NikoFab Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm really glad Mark talked me into doing all the trim elements in gloss black. Now that I see the tint on the windows, it was definitely the right call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted January 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 (edited) Got the test piece back from the powdercoater today...and me likey! We had a hell of a time getting that yellow not to bleed under the blue (which produced a nasty green). This represents the sixth attempt. That's six times of completely stripping and trying again...lots of fun. Now that we've gotten it to work, there's going to be a lot more done. Pics are below...tell me what you think.

I had him do the oil arrow because the oil cap will be matching colors...thought it might look pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NikoFab Posted January 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 it's IN THE BOOTH so it should be painted sometime this year what's your plans for the drivetrain in that gorgeous quest ? Stayin stock on the tranny, but going to get it bolstered. Still undecided on a clutch, but I have time to think on it some more...still have to get the car back and get the motor in it so i can start mocking up my MPI, FMIC and piping, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to give credit to my wife Angie. She chose the final official colors as closely matched to your color swatches as possible.

NikoFab Posted January 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Got lucky enough to snag Brian's (lower shores) 240mm Exedy clutch and pressure plate. Also snagged one of his lightened flywheels. Thanks Brian! http://www.nikofab.com/uploads/3/2/3/6/3236317/9509130_orig.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
