We've been working on a '74 2.0 that we picked up a year ago in VA. Solid for the most part, floors are nice. Over the past 2 months we have been doing some work on it.
The goal is just a nice driver. It will be the original Phoneix Red (which is more orange than red). It will be powered by a 2.0 FI, if I get can the D-Jet figured out. I'll update this thread weekly or more often, whenever something notable gets done. Heres what we started with |

How about some details about that mini gun? Pic? For that matter, what gun are you using to this point? I'm actually considering buying a gun and dabbling with some sprayin'. I have some furniture cabinets to do first, but I'd like to get into some automotive primer at least.

Fantastic work, Jonathan! Threads like this keep me inspired!

I have some furniture cabinets to do first, but I'd like to get into some automotive primer at least. I am in the same boat. I wanted something that would work for both woodworking and auto paints. The guy at the paint shop sold me on a 2 gun Divilbliss kit for around $160. One gun for top coats, and the other is for primer. He was pretty up front that they are not the greatest, but not bad for the money, and most importantly, you can get parts for them. Have not used them yet, but hoping to do some wainscoting over the week of Christmas. My worry is on the air supply side. I have a 6hp/26gal compressor, and I am not sure it is up to it. Wondering if I can somehow run it in conjunction with my portable, maybe by using a T. I can put the regulator on the gun. Jonathan, what are your compressor specs? |

A 3hp with a 5 gallon tank will even work as long as you don't try to paint the whole car without letting up. Al. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |
