So I got bored waiting for my car to come back from the painter.
Decided to do a little quick fab work. Made some backing plates for my roll bar and petty bar, I bought it used and the backing plates had long since been misplaced. Steve H. this is the rollbar out of your car when Mike owned it (cage installed upon RB removal). Since I was painting the plates decided to tidy up the roll bar and petty bar with a little fast dry gloss black paint. Most of it will be covered by roll bar padding, but what the hay! While I was at it decided to make some cover plates for the foglight openings, since they are removed now anyway. Not bad for a couple hours work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Now for a car to install this stuff on!

Before I took my car to the painter I disassembled just about everything other than the front and rear windows. All other chrome, aluminum and rubber trim and gaskets removed.
Smoothed top in white will look very nice (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) I had side markers, squirters, old aftermarket mirrors, bottom B pillar chrome trim, antennae, and rear reflector holes welded over and smoothed. Disassembly doesn't take too long. Took me probably about 6 hours, start to finish. Even took off door panels so he could wrap new paint around so no old stuff would show. I think you will be very happy with the smooth look. It will be nice that both of us are starting the new season with new paint jobs. Don't follow that 911 too close before you pass them....might nik up that new paint! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Oh well they are race cars, right???
