Is the chassis alloy or steel? If it's steel, is etch primer the right undercoat, or would a zinc based undercoat be more suitable?
are you powder coating over that or painting? |
Chassis is steel.
The etch that i am using is a new product that i got of a spray painter friend (he is an absolute gun painter does alot of old chevs etc).He says that this is ideal due to the fact that i have some welding and fab work to do on the frame. but will be finishing the chassis in 2k paint. I will post the details of this product shortly. |

Probably getting a bit ahead of myself but while reconditioning the front suspension i thought that we might try an decide on the body colour.
So we painted some shocks . thinking we might go this colour with black stripes, what do you think? |
Not bad. Pretty loud :) Is that like that burnt orange holden had?
|
no its a mix that we were playing around with so not sure what to call it
|
How about calling it 'the burnt orange Holden wished they had'.
Iff you have enough long around to paint it.... Then go for it. I remember seeing pics of a brunt orange, satin black stripes, black wheels , and if looked badass. Well, it was a cobra so it looked badass anyway, but this looked real badass. |

Very nice!
I built three RAM and worked on a few before I left Germany. They can be quite lightweight! |

Well here is the donor car , I have a fair bit of work to do cos that engine is ugly.
|
It's possible to make the LS engine quite pretty with a bit of work. This is something I've been attempting to do.
Cheers |
Yours and Gavs both look good.
I also spotted one on Google the other day. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/data/500/LS1b.jpg http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/atta...intake-6-s.jpg |
