Told you that prototype bare metal gap spray would work. Can you hook a brother up.

Looks good Rodger, thank you for saving another one.


Had a question, what brand door hinges did you use? I haven't had any luck finding a repop brand that fits good.

Can't help but love that!

Great stuff Rodger. Keep us posted.:thumbsup:

That's a fun story! Looks like you started with a pretty solid car! A true life lond CA car? That sure makes for a solid foundation!

Love the parts list! What paint shop do you guys use? Any roll bar/cage? ST rear suspension? Very cool car, I even dig the flat hood! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys, Nic has allowed us to put together a pretty nice car. Nothing fancy or over the top. But we have weld the quarter panels on completely and installed the Speed tech suspension front and rear with an LS3 with a 4L60E trans. It has a Vintage Air front runner and an Autorad radiator core support. It has Ring Brother hood hinges and door handles, with Marquez Trunk and interior kit. We have some Anvil Carbon inner fenders coming our way. We plan to have our buddy Jim in Stockon paint this car again. I'm not sure he is ready to go public just yet. Between me and about 3-4 other dudes he has quite a bit of work. We plan to take the car to Tracy Weaver at Recovery room somewhere around the time we take Franks 48 truck to him.

We started this car somewhere around July 4th.

The door hinges were way off from the factory units we had on the car when it came in. Or maybe they were aftermarket. These took quite a bit of slotting and such to get them to fit, but once in they moved the door out enough to widen the hood gap at the rear of the hood. I doubt it was planned by Goodmark but it looks like it helped us and made the large amount of time to install these hinges worthwhile. Or we might have just shimmed the hing to the body to bring it out. The Chassisworks Camaro could use the same fix. But I car way less on that car.

Donkey Kong got some kicks
 

Well we are just about ready for Tear down to Primer and paint the bottom of the car. We got the New Schott Sprocket wheels in. It took less the 2.5 Ounces to balance 3 wheels on the car. That is a pretty true wheel. The Front tires are 295/35/18 and the rears are 335/30/18 BFG

Looks good, sit's nice! Way better than the 4x4 that showed up to the shop!

Hence the name Donkey Kong, it is no longer a Donk.
