Silica dust is why I don't use sand.

I would never attempt to try to do that in a confined space. I'm really surprised you're still breathing. How could you see? The only good thing is you could reuse the sand but I guess you survived and got it done.

It actually wasn't a complete enclosed/confined space, I had a decent airflow moving through by opening the big overhead door and the back door. I used a 3m organic vapor mask the entire time which is more than adequate for silica dust so I don't feel like I was in any danger. Only time it got hard to see was working in up under the fender wells. Had a big spotlight for those areas. It certainly wasn't optimal but it got the job done.

Absolutely looking great! I'm amazed you took it down as far as you have. Going to be an absolute beauty once you get the new paint on there. I can't wait to see it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Thanks Jamie, needed to take it this far to get the level of detail I'm looking for. It'll be worth it. Now to get the metal work finished up. Looking forward to seeing your suby conversion get wrapped up.

You guys are bored tonight I see. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) The motor is sealed up well, and being on the other side of the barrier didn't get to see any of the dust. Garage door opener, rollers, drive track survived just fine. Life will continue on.

Great work... Are you going to do the paint yourself?
If you do the color I think this thing will be fabulous. I really want to do one of the newer colors on my old orange car.

Holy crap Dean, you are one determined SOB! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

It's hard to believe it was just a few weeks ago, you we soo happy just to get in on the road and we were all happy to get a ride! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Now look at it... simply astounding! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap23.gif)

So let's see... work, sleep, family and Porsche... Hmm, It just don't add up! You must operate on the 36 hour clock! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/gint2.gif)

I'll be doing underside, trunks, jambs and interior myself. And I'll be having somebody who knows what they're doing shoot the important parts. Hoping to get some video of that. My goal is to be headed to the booth by the end of April, hopefully sooner. WCR or bust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)

My inner suspension ear looks good, no signs of trouble that I can see. Just to be safe for the future, should I install inner console overlay plate and the heim rod brace from tangerine, or would it be overkill for a street car with occasional ax? I already have the Brad Mayeur long kit installed which supports the outer suspension console point.

I installed the Tangerine ear reinforcement kit whilst my car was on the rotisserie; kinda one of those "while yer in there" things. Since I'm also doing a Suby conversion, I welded in the ear to firewall connectors. See my build thread if you wanna see details.

It is a good time to do it. I don't think you'll have so much torque it is necesary. Still kind of nice to be sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

thanks guys, makes sense. I'll at least do the Tangerine ear reinforcement kit while I'm in there.

If your going to you may as well add the extra support piece. You can make your own piece to the firewall. Of course tangerine's rod brace is a great setup. Hell I don't care. Just paint that sucker (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I can't wait to see it

It's not so much torque as it is big tires. I did a similar mod to mine.
