I envy those of you that are good at documenting your builds. I started into this thing with every intention of taking lots of pics but never do. Anyway today The RR went on a shakedown cruise. Found I have a couple of issues but nothing too crazy. I am still waiting on the rocker moulding clips...

Awesome!

So my first thought was a great big cringe thinking about the work. Then again I remembered what my GTO looked like when I drug it home and realized I had no room to talk, lol. Best of luck to ya!

Been crazy the last 3-4 months and have not had the time to work on the RR but finally jumped in this week and got it running and moving under it's own power-kinda hard to drive sitting on a bucket so we will settle for in/out of the garage for now.

Last few.........

A few more

Like many of us I get caught up on what I am doing and always think about pics after I am past the point where I should have taken more pics. Anyway I have been making progress, cut and buffing took the better part of a week and then another week trying to bolt on as much as I could before...

Moving right along I started painting suspension parts this week. Fortunately quite a bit of it was already blasted so it was just a little touch up blasting and paint. The rear end was not cleaned up but some dollar store oven cleaner and a little sanding and it was ready for paint tomorrow...

It was an interesting day with several lessons learned (like don't use cheap plastic to mask). My big struggle is to slow down-the last few years I have been involved in building boats and with Gel Coat time is of the essence so I tend to rush, telling myself to relax and slow down is constant...

Busy day today but I am happy with the progress. Nothing like painting on your back.....That $1200 I was too tight to spend on a rotisserie was looking real cheap about half way through.

Moving right along re-shot the doors and did the inner fenders today. I really wish I had a rotisserie....tomorrow I am going to spend the day laying on my back prepping the bottom of the car to spray. I want to do the engine compartment and the bottom of the car the first of next week and...

I thought about it since all the interior pieces including the dash will get painted but the seats have burgundy inserts and I was concerned it wouldn't match the dash pad. I took the quarter trim panel up to the paint store today and they did the digital scan/match. Says that color is a VW...

The shiny spot is just the sunlight reflection from the garage window....No frame rail connectors trying to keep it as original as possible. The trunk pan and the passenger side floor pans were replaced before I purchased the car but whoever did it did a pretty good job replacing them with the...

Jumped in today and shot the trunk and the inside of the doors. The pic does not do it justice but the trunk turned out nice. I ended up picking up the door paint locally just so I could get it done, the color is a little off it should be more Burgundy and less red so I will shoot them again...

Here are a few of the makeshift paint enclosure we will see how it works.........the plan is to do 3 sides leaving the garage door side open. I will give the garage a good cleaning to get the cobwebs and dust cleaned up as much as possible before painting anything. I also plan to put the red...

Since I got back from Idaho I have not posted any progress on the car so I thought I would do a short update. I took a few days off after getting back.....driving fence stakes and stretching barbed wire was a little more work than I remember or maybe I was just younger last time, lol. I finally...

I was hoping to get the first coat of 2k primer on the car before I left for Idaho in the morning but it seems like there were a ton of things pop up at the last minute-plus I promised my wife she could park in the garage while I was gone so I shot everything minus the front clip and then put...

I didn't bookmark that thread either (not sure how to) but here are a couple of articles outside the forum. The kits make it easier and all the parts are there and are supposed to work well together but that comes with a price tag-not to mention some of the spindles are Chinese made which just...

I tried to search the forums here for the thread I found with the great spray booth but to no avail. Like blue69 eluded to is there is almost an art to figuring out the fan size ect. I did run a search over on the Southern Polyurethane forums which quite a few of the guys on here post on also...
