gofastredstar Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) Been working to get my car back on the road. Gutted it, took it to paint shop, and now going about reassembling it. I've been posting picts over on Gary's site if anybody is interested.... Edited April 16, 2008 by gofastredstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiplee Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 beautiful. enjoy your long walks into grocery stores, department stores, lowes, and so on. You won't have the heart to park near the front where other people will be more likely to park next to you. I'm still that way 8 years after I got my main paint job done.

gofastredstar Posted April 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks Addict and Chiplee. Yep, I'll need to just get the first scratch or dent in it and be done with it. It going to be driven most days that the weather is nice, so it wont stay perfect for long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GCNTSi Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 That Looks AWESOME!!! :thumbsup: Very nice job, one of the best I've seen in a while. :kowtow: I'm jealous. But I'd recommend not running with that oil cap, I tried the same one (I think) and it leaked a little oil residue onto the VC, so I only use it when going to a meet now. But AWESOME CAR!!! Way to keep it on the road! I hope you have a nice garage for it, a cover, good insurance, and a damn good alarm! -GCNTSi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up, but yep, I knew there was a prob with these so I modded it by bending the taps on it and replacing the o'ring. Its not been leaking yet, and I ran it on my old car, so...hopefully it wont be a prob, but I will keep an eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine's coming out in another month, I'm too embarrased to tell you what I spent on body/paint work. Hopefully its worth it. Looking awesome John!!
