60357, Progress Pics.
Posted by 1998EclipseRS, Dec-31-69 06:00 PM
Yep.... Here it is, scuffed with 400 grit and the kit all bolted up... What a fucking bitch that was! I hate fiberglass, I hate plastic grommet screw thingies, and I HATE FUCKING SIDESKIRTS THAT YOU HAVE TO MODIFY THE SHIT OUT OF SO YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR GOD DAMN DOOR... Other than that I love it.

These pics are right before I put it back in the garage to mask her up and prime her. I used Valspar primer and it was a god damn BITCH to get it to shoot through the gun, I had to use a lot of thinner shit. This is tough work, I'd recommend NOT doing it yourself.
Anyhoo... PICTURE TIME!


^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I cut that center shit out.

HAHA.....This sounds GHETTO, but I shot a fucking rivet in the tall vent part of the sideskirt... I covered it up though... I know that sounds GHETTO but it got the job done, and it looks good.

The front looks like it's pointing towards the sky. I know Chrysler Kid's car looked the same way.

heh, you might have wanted to get another gun just for the primer!
primer is notorious for fucking up good guns. and one more thing, if you have trouble with that primer, try Painters Pride, that's what i used, flowed smooth, and was nice, i got the non-sanding kind so what i did was shot primer, waited an hour then shot the car.

i would have used normal primer (sanding) but i was really pressed for time.

lookin' good, keep it up!:thumbsup

oh, and welcome to the do it yourself paint club:cheers

Yeah after spending endless hours of the blitz installation i got fuckin fed up with shit not fitting, cuttin the re-enforcment bars and bondoing. My doors havent shut well with the blitz sides so i took em off and i put the stock ones back on. I can't wait to trash these fiberglass pieces and get some polyglass. ;X
