update?
|
man we have so much fricken time into this body work its crazy! were at 120 hrs right now and just this past sat we re gel coated it. 3/4 of the car ended up being filler to true it all up right. Im super picky and all the "flaws" in the body just wouldn't fly with me.
ill get some pics up of it in the next week or so! |
|
doors were beyond horrible. its like you took then and twisted them from each side.
this was after some work. we probably have about 20 HRs just into the doors and getting them fit right and looking half ass decent. the gas door area needed some filler, there was alot of air pockets in that area. |
first door pics shows haw far it sets in. then if you pull that edge out the bottom comes way to far out. so what we had to do it get a happy medium and the from there FILL FILL FILL, blend the front fender also into the door to make it all flow.
here is what it looks like now, just got it into gel coat again http://i584.photobucket.com/albums/s...r/photo4-2.jpg |

Sweet ride! What speed can you hook up at that power level? Please take some vids of the car in action. Cheers.
|
car will actually hook up from a dig on low boost with two people in it.
low boost is about 650 Rear wheel HP, once i hit third i kick it into high boost which right now is 830ish RWHP:3DSMILE: with new tires on her it hooks up really well. |
Sounds fun I second the request for a few videos.
