Excuse the poor cell phone pics....
All the valances and side skirts getting the satin black treatment.
They are all looking good.

Engine lid received it's coat of black that goes underneath the engine grill.
Still tacky (drying) so the real shiny part will flatten out a bit more to approach a nice satin black.

Door have been wet sanded and buffed, so are ready to mount back on the car at this point.
Mirror like finish. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Main chassis had all been wet sanded and was just getting buffed.
Definitely the light at the end of the tunnel is in reach....

Another view of the completely (exterior) wet sanded chassis.
That really makes the paint look flat.

What's left to do?

1) Finish painting, wet sanding and buffing the hoods.

2) Finish painting the headlight door sheet metal.

3) Install the doors and hoods on the car.

4) Paint black the small areas under the two side engine grills that are on the chassis.


Note: Instead of worrying about the black tape on the bottom of the rear window, I just had the shop paint the top edge of the inside firewall the same trim black we've been using.

Whoa! I couldn't figure out why it looked so green until I saw the pic with the truck next to it. Now that's a shine! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Paint shop status:

Shop owner went to the coast for the weekend, while the shop finishes up some last things with the project.

1) Painting the tops of both hoods, headlight doors and eyebrows. Then wetland and buff.

2) Install the doors and hoods; align.


I did bring home with me both side skirts and front/rear valances.
Also the roof and engine lid.

Went to work putting back together the engine lid.

1) Powder coated the spring rods.
2) Installed new rubber bumpers (914 Rubber) under the rods.
3) Powder coated the engine grill and added a year correct rally badge.
4) New reproduction engine bay gold foil stickers from Aase Sales.
5) Newly plated latch hardware.
6) New edge protectors, welting and lid protector/buffer from 914 Rubber.

Haven't installed the speed nuts for the grill yet, as I'm fine tuning the screen welting.

Pretty happy with how this all came together.
If the rest of the car looks this clean and new, I'll be a happy camper in a couple of months time.

Paint shop is finishing up this week.
Everything painted now.
Bolting on the doors and hoods today.

Test fitting the stainless steel bumpers.
Little bit of tweaking on the rear bumper is needed....you can see from the side profile where the bumper meets the rear.
Front looks good.

Guess you can tell by the holes in the panel between the taillights what is going on this car....

Front bumper fitment is money.
Much better where the end of the bumper meets the body.

Pic of how we painted the inside of the cabin just below the rear window satin black.
Didn't want to go the factory way of just putting some black tape on the glass itself.

Couple of pics of the engine compartment showing the 914-6 conversion specific work done.

Factory oil tank holes and a factory style engine mount.

Everything above the engine sealing rubber is just paint, while everything below is Raptor undercoating tinted the same color as the paint. Seamless....

That car is looking absolutely beautiful. I 100% agree re the back window modification with satin black paint. I will have to run that by the Justice League (Jim, Kent and Andy). I like it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
