I wasn't knocking anyone. It was just more than I wanted to pay. It was a family owned buisness and they have a lot to deal with. I know what problems they are faced with because he and I spoke about it. "A good living flying planes"?? My first two years in the aviation bidness I made $8000 a year. So, shame on you for lousy reading comprehension and over reacting.

Ya, what about the next 30 sumthin.... No matter. To me it read like this. Body shops charge too much. I can get the same quality in my garage first time out. Anyone can paint a car. No experience needed. Like I checked the price to ship a package UPS. It was more than I wanted to pay so I guess I'm going to just get an airplane and fly it there myself. I can get a flying manual online.

So if I over reacted my excuse is it was early in the morning. Have an Orbitini for us! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Project update. The suspension, brakes and lugs bolts are all done. Venting clearance adjusted. Just waiting for the brake lines. My wheels are at the powder coater and should be ready tomorrow. I installed a filter/dryer to my compressor and just about ready to try my hand at painting. A local body shop is going to help me set up my paint guns and will also help with where to buy paint, what kind and what sand paper to use and when. My wheels are front- 17X7 rear- 17X9 with GT flairs all around and I'm still not sure what tire size I want yet.
Cheers, Elliot

I'm out on work release. (I swear she looked at least 22). I just got home from the body shop. My friend there checked out my paint guns and gave me lots of advice. From there I went to the paint stor. I got primer, paint and hardener and reducer. I also got sand paper, mixing cups and all kinds of other crap to paint the fiberglass fenders and trunk lids. Waiting on brake lines from what's-is-name. Then I can put tires on the wheels, and tow the car down to SLO for alighnment. Lots to do yet but it's getting there.
Cheers, Elliot

You should update your avitar to the beach chair. You don't even own those wheels anymore. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Just a quick update. I got all the fenders and both hoods done with three coats of primer. I started wet sanding (pita) today. I got two fenders and the front hood done. Try to get the others sanded tomorrow. Then the final two coats of black. Mixing the primer was interesting. Four parts paint, one part hardener, and one part reducer. Who knew it would be so complicated? Doesn't look like it'll be done for Rt. 66 so I'll be bringing a Non-NARP. These were taken just before I started sanding.

hi elliot, im following your lead and bought my panels from jeff. he is a real nice guy. hes about 45 minutes from me so i went to his shop to pick them up. i was surprised how light they are. im going wednesday to pick up the rear trunk lid and then the front later. anyways, could you share in a little more detail on how your mounting your fenders? more pictures too? did you flange the areas where the 2 panels meet?

great job by the way. it would be great if you could tutorialize how you did it. im sure im not the only one who wants to know.

I finally got some good paint on these fenders. After we finally determined the paint I bought was bad, the paint store gave me more paint for free (they should have paid for the labor as well). I think I might use a one inch spacer to move the rear wheels out a bit.

I got some 1 1/2 inch spacers at the Parts Heaven swap meet and I think they will work out OK. I just wish I could use these spacers without using lug nuts on the spacers. Now I've got to order 10 more lug nuts. These wheels and spacers are "lug centric", soooo, I've ordered 10 more lug nuts.
