Thanks guys! I really like your 72 in Japan!

More pictures from today! Painted the rest of the inside of the doors, I really like how they look, nice and complete. My Dad actually undercoated the outer part of the doors, but actually had a lot of trouble reattaching things because of the thickness, so this led me to simply paint this part....

Found the 5 lugs! Just need a little cleaning up!

Going to start putting the windows together. Darker tint, and blacking out the chrome.

As of right now, I'm looking at two sets of trailing arms, the ones pictured below, and another set that is reinforced. I'm not sure what I'll go with, and I have to decide today.

Today, I sanded down the vent window chromed bars. I don't want them to be chrome. Pictures to come tomorrow morning!

Ok, so as I said last night, on my car, I don't much car for the chrome vents.

here is a picture of what I was working with....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/iPhoneUpload.jpg)


Completely disassembled the actual chrome parts, it's rather easy, just remove the two bolts....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/iPhoneUpload-1.jpg)

Sanded down the whole post with 220....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/iPhoneUpload-4.jpg)


In this picture, you can actually see the high spots on the post....

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/photo.jpg)


And painted. I don't know if I like this finish, or a more matte one....

Thanks, yeah, I think it is one of those small things that really looks nice, and it makes the undercoating inside the door look nicer.

I was just looking at your Project Thread, I really like your progress.

2 things to add to today, I'm not finished for the day yet, but I thought I would take a break, and then really organize all my parts to see what extra parts I have, and what I need to order.

I know organizing is gonna suck, but I figure if I take a few hours to do it now, I'll be done with it, and wont have to step over stuff anymore.

Anyway, first thing for today is that the 23mm Master Cyl. came in, which was pretty cool. I don't know why the picture I took has an orange glow on it, but the part is brand new.

(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/securedownload-4-2.jpg)



The next is that I painted under the dash to get rid of all that overspray.

Some new additions. Reinforced rear suspension. They weren't in that bad of shape, so i just barely touched them up.

Also, Joe has started Wet sanding. Once he gets around this area, I will be adding all the stuff under the cowl, plus air system and fuel system.

This is what they looked like before...

And the water after I got done cleaning them....
(IMG:http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b6/Emar06/photo3-1.jpg)

Do they normally staple these together???
