That coppertone is cool! I think the flat clear look might work with the copper color...but I'm pretty sure it will end up shiny black..



Black is the new orange.....

I took a stab at it...
I will be making a custom muffler with similar outlets to the GT one shown, but I am thinking of running the lower valance with the pipes coming through it.

Trim will be blacked out

No jack holes

Bullet style mirrors in Satin Black

Can't decide on the 911 style reflector or not...

WOW..........Yes on that color! It will be 1 of 1 and a few others already have black. Looks like the "frozen" BMW treatment.

I say no to 911 reflector, but he'll yes to that muffler.

Make sure to air on the side of quiet and restrictive mufflers...the V8 is a drone machine.

I got a lot done this weekend. I also cursed a lot, especially at the previous owner..

"No Significant Rust Issues" from the ad...See for yourself..

In addition to the rusty hole that was patched with fiberglass under the gas tank, the passenger floorboard at the firewall was goneski.

ANDDDD, I determined that the whole front of the car was actually grafted on from another car. Probably in 1984 when the they did the slant nose conversion. I am guessing it was an insurance wreck. Hooray..Oh well, I am too deep now. I am just reinforcing and strengthening everything I can and then I will put on my buddy's frame rack to make sure its straight

Arrgg Anyway, this first series of pics is the wiring completion. I found 4 wires melted together, the headlight switch wired incorrectly, and 3 broken wires that I actually need...

Here are some pics of the "Not-so-significant" rust and where the car was seamed together.

The #FML914 continues to live up to its name..I finished the passenger floor/footwell area and also made a bridge patch over the area where the car had been seamed together. Got that in, galvanized, and seam sealed.

Moved on to the rear pan on the passenger side. Had rust/fiberglass repair that I already knew about and had an RD half pan sitting on the shelf..The seat hinge pedestal on that side was hammered as was the area under the cross brace. I opened it up and Ospho'd the hell out of it. Ordering the new hinge and reinforcements from RD now.

Found a bunch of perforation on the driver's side also...I will get to that eventually...
