Fuelie:If you do you don't have to look too far for willing helpers?:eyerole



Sorry, I just read your later post that it is black epoxy not silver like I thought, I apologize. It does look really good and it's exhausting seeing the fast pace you keep. Does the epoxy cure to a hard abrasion resistant surface or do you have to add a clear coat hardener to it?

Looks good! It looks like chassis black paint. What type of paint did you use?

 

[Subfixer]

Geez Mark, keep up that pace and you'll be done before me..... Great looking job. Should go well with all those new parts and of course, that fire breathing 502.

It's Black Epoxy.....

The top photo is the bare frame after sand blasting .... The Second pic is black epoxy....The Last or bottom pic is with the camera's Flash...It does make it look a little like silver..

Mark that thing is coming together quick!!! I wish that I could get that much done... Dave..

 

[Subfixer]

I will echo Bob's comment..... Holy Crap!!!!!!! Took me weeks to get that far... Great work.

 

[JL66REDCPE]

Mark ---looks great -- keep up the good work. I am really surprised also that you have got that far in such a short time -- even without the rotors and other stuff you mentioned.

 

[Subfixer]

Hey, I'm starting to think Mark had a little help......

 

[Viet Nam Vett]

Hey, I'm starting to think Mark had a little help......

Yes I did Sub Boy.... The Chassie was stripped and sent out for Blasting and then returned for paint and Suspenion assembly at Restoration Connection. That's Rob English's Restro Shop. He's also an NSRS Judge.

I helped with the final assembly of sway bars and clutch, Tranny and Motor. What...me get dirty????? Nahhhh.... . Since I only have a one car gee-rage..it would have been a nightmare doing all that in my small space. That's when you get out a wad of cash and do a baseball arm crank up and throw it at the car....:L .

I'll finish the rest now that the motor and tranny and frame and suspension are done. I can get up on a Saturday morning go into the gee-rage...fire up my gas heater ...go have breakfast... put on my fruit of the looms...and T shirt and slippers...and go wrench in a nice warm 70 * gee-rage.

Now ..that's what I call working on your vette.....
