Nice work.....now hurry up. :D
for painting those brake parts (color doesnt help) you will now be the only import listed on the AI/CMC points sheet.
I am from the school of " If you're doing it...do it right" Where in the CCR does it say that your car has to LOOK like it has scrap parts on it? :shock: It's called "pride in your workmanship" Last time I checked the ricer guys Substitute pretty for speed.......that is not the case here. 8)
You're going to HATE my motor then :DQuote:

Anyone who has ever done one of these fiberglass hoods please give me some insight on technique and materials. I was very careful not to sand through the gel coat but still get a good paint surface.
Burch?
Wirtz?
DA sand80/100
Deep fill use glass/resin.
Minor imperfections/scratches fill w/bondo.
Treat it no different than steel.
Throw some primer on it.
Give it a light dusting with a rattlecan of contrasting paint as a marker.
Wet sand 400 the marker.
Ready for top coat.

Thanks JB! good to know. I used 120 on the first pass but there's still ALOT of paint cracks. It has some sort of really thick bass boat freakin paint. Any thoughts on reinforcement of this bad boy?....seems very flimsy :shock:
If anyone can free themselves from "Compression & CMC2 Gate". I could use some good pictures of floor plates for the roll cage on a third gen? I would greatly appreciate it.
