That is great Mike. I remember dropping the front suspension out of it at Brads shop. Completely different looking! It looks juicy (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif)

The tunnel is easy enough, inside the longs just got primer when they were open. Now they are mostly sealed up. No way you're gonna get paint in there. The factory didn't either.
Thanks Chris. Hard to believe huh? It was certainly a long time getting to this point.
I doubt it. I'll be lucky if I make it without the car. I *really* need my wife to find a job. We're two months away from losing half our income. |

Mike, It's amazing. I remember just a short time ago, lifting your tub onto that flatbed trailer in pieces and all undone.
Nice to see it getting done the right way. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/clap.gif) Congrats on a job well done and looking foward to the finish. KT |

Mike,
Thanks for the pics - one of the best Christmas presents I'll get this year (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Can't wait to see the rest of the project unfold. regards GAZ PS: I fell in love with the Tangerine too - the real reason I bought mine! |

Bee-U-ti-ful..... Wow Mike, it is looking great...
BTW, I assume this was the step of spraying the interior and underneath and the outside body will be painted separately, along with the doors and hoods? (I noticed the masked off areas...). Are you going to paint the top or leave it the factory black? Congrats for doing the restoration the right way. Hope your wife finds another job soon. |

Geeze Mike, that thing really is going to come out phenomenally well. I can't wait till it gets back here now. I am here to offer up my reassembling help when the time comes. I'm sure that is going to be a very tedious, time consuming, nervous, careful, process. But, hell, putting it all back together is the fun part. /peter

Makes the wait certainly worth it! I'm not going to volunteer to help assemble, to scared to be near it . But will come over, help drink beer and supervise!

Thanks for all the great comments gang. It's been a long time comin...
Yes, and no. 1) Non-polish areas have been painted as you said. Exterior panels will be done next with special effort applied to body work and paint polishing. Couldn't wait to show off the tangerine paint though. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) 2) You mean the targa top? It will be factory black. I'm initially going to powder coat or anodize black the roll bar and sail panel trim (I have an extra set), as well as the aluminum seal channels on the A and B pillars. Basically any stainless or aluminum that is against a large field of black anywhere on the canopy. Make sense? Yo, local guys! Thanks! We'll have an unloading party when I get it home boys. |

I just got back from a conjugal visit with my tub. I couldn't help touching it. All of that smooth shiny paint instead of crusty, rusty panels. If I could have hugged it, I would have. Is that wrong?!?!
