Title: Project progress, one machine, one car
Post by: tkaz on October 17, 2011, 10:20:04 pm
Finally getting moving on a couple of my projects, I have been sitting on the V90 for a while now, I got most of set, now its ready for paint.  I brought it down to Charlotte to my gf's father's shop, he's showing me the ropes of prep and paint...which is something I've wanted to get better at for some time now.  Eventually the Nova will be in the shop for some body work and paint as well. 

Also got done with my 10 month project of tearing off the front end of the Nova and rebuilding it all.  The inner fenders were rusted out, so I got a couple new ones and sandblasted and painted every piece on the front end.  Cleaned up and painted the engine while I was at it, pretty happy with the results, it's been nice taking it out for some drives so far this fall.

Now, just need to get back down to Charlotte, finish up the paint on the V90 and get it all back together!

The engine looks brand new tkaz!
V-90 looks like it is coming along as well. Nice to have some experience guiding you along!

Oh, and while I'm thinking of it, I need the small panel that fits below the coin door.  You can see how it doesn't go all the way across the door in the photo.  Mine was dented in pretty bad, and I think it'll be easier to get another one than to deal with shrinking the metal.

That's cool that you have a place you can take stuff to like that. Everything looks great.
