Well. Another Saturday and another visit to DVs shop and the first thing I have to say is.... Boy are we getting close to the finish line! :3DSMILE: !
The second thing is... Man. When you see a true craftmans work, it is impressive. Got to see first hand DVs razor treatment to perfect the finish before the last final coats of clear. It is something you have to see in person, but I can tell you the quality of the final finish will be spectacular!!! Here's a few pictures.... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_finish_1.jpg #2 http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_finish_2.jpg #3 http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_finish_3.jpg And the man himself... DV :3DSMILE: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...e_master_1.jpg |
DV and ED looking real good!!!!! DV let me know if you need an extra hand with the body and final ass. I would be more then happy to help. Nothing but time on my hands.
Thanks Robert |
Capteddie, It looks to me like you have a big empty hole where the engine is supposed to go. I really like that color. Good choice.

Looks nice.. I have never liked my spark plug wires.. they don't seem to be the right lengths.. I have thought about doing some custom cut ones..
|
Oh DV...... ;)
Here we go.... It's now legal :3DSMILE: http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...p_plates_2.jpg |
Cpteddie,
This is one addition you will appreciate. For tubular lower arms; I simply cut a 2"x6"x3/16's piece of steel, drilled 'through holes' 4"s apart and welded the plates in place. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...back_right.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d..._from_rear.JPG DV PS....Steering wheel is accounted for! |
Looks good DV! :3DSMILE:
Good to hear the new steering wheel showed up. How's it look? |
DefCon 4.5
This is what the final paint looks like after it has been 'scraped'......and blocked with 600 w/d. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...l_scraping.JPG DV |
Final-Pre-assembly
9 hours after the above picture:
Def-Con 5 has been reached! Cpt. I don't know if the photo shows much difference from the pictures you took a week ago- but the difference in person is very mucy obvious. Next photos will be outside on the jig or on the frame! http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ly-buffing.JPG DV |
DV/CPT, It looks fantastic.:cool:
|
Hard to tell by the picture. But seeing and feeling first hand the benifit of the scraping. I'm sure it is great! :3DSMILE:
Can't wait to see the next pictures!!! |
Are you Brave enough?
For those that have asked, close up / detail pictures of how I do final paint work.....
First one is of the second door final painting. Still has too much orange peel for my tastes- Second picture shows the left of the same door with the left 'shave' to finality. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d..._shavingb-.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...l_scraping.JPG 3rd picture is a small sag I found today on the LR fender-'scraping' started..... 4th picture is final sraping, 600 wet sand then 800 wet-ready to buff..... http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...0/close_up.JPG http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...ped-sanded.JPG Good luck and for the rest of you, you can still call me nuts :) DV |
DV, What are you using for the scraping process, looks interesting????
