Finally, something new: I got some of the parts finish coated.
The exhaust tubes and muffler mount have been ceramic coated. The shop that did it does mostly guns but is seeing more requests for exhausts.
The color is a nice titanium that has a sort of very light metal flake to it.

The parts look great and what a nice change from all the bare metal and rust! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
This thing may turn out looking pretty cool after all...


Now that’s some wicked looking metal.
Very cool Chris! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

Great looking coatings..... best part of the coatings is that the odds of you changing your mind/design are lessened. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Well now you'll need to add a Lexan trunk floor to the Lexan firewall to show off those pretty pieces. At this rate, you might as well replace all the body sheet metal with acrylic so all these goodies can shine through!

Key word: "lessened" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Thanks to all for the compliments.

I'm really looking forward to getting the entire chassis blasted and in one color, even if it's primer. Seeing other builds move into that state makes me think my car will suddenly feel much closer to being, um, well... Let's go with "complete" running. I don't ever seeing it being "done".

The part needs to be stepped up in the middle and I was able to find what turned out to be the perfect press set up. What are the odds?

Carefully set the piece in the press with the appropriate sized "helper" pieces.

The press is a beast and makes quick work of this sort of thing.

I couldn't resist adding some additional strength and style points.

Thanks Andrew!
I used 18 ga. The press is the one that was sitting next to the bender we used on your cage bars. The pump that powers the bender has dry break connectors that also hook to the press so in about 10 seconds, I have a giant powered press!

Let me know if you need anything squashed! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

I have sheers/presses at my disposal from the people that make our frames.

They sheer 1/8" stock with it and the things 15ft tall and 20 tons! Apparently it has 3' thick concrete underneath it.



I just know how big those machines can be which is why I asked as I didn't remember seeing one at your shop!

That Fab piece is awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'm sure that press is going to come in handy very soon for some of the trick stuff. If YOU want anything heavier duty pressed or sheered let me know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

See you been spying on my thread again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I like the mount why did you choose that location? I am just wondering, as I put mine closer to the stock area, so the over filled fluid can run done the fresh paint and start the 914 conversion to rust process all over again. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Start working on the solid roof section (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) I have my ideas in my head as to how to do it, just would prefer you to burn the stack of metal that comes from doing the work 3-6 times to get it just right.
