Looking good Jason (#9).

I'd like to know your definition of "a lot of progress".......

GregWeld 02-09-2011 08:35 PM
Nice work - as usual Jason!

Takes a lot of steak to be able to do work like that buddy! LOL


Sweet -- just sweet workmanship.....the pride shows.:cheers:

Looks like it is inspected and sealed and ready to go.

Way to go #9. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

That safe release is funny. I'm not sure you could even close the trunk with your big ass inside if you were paid money to. Well at least if Greg, Tony and Todd all got stuck at one time one of them could stand on the others shoulders and release the trunk to get to safety. Good thinking. :D :D

Jason,
Loving the attention to detail, creativity and crafstmanship you're putting into your car. The photo's are impressive too! Keep it up. :thumbsup:

You can tell that your heart and soul are going into that masterpiece. Very nice :thumbsup:

Jason,

That thing looks outragious, got a quick question for you, I noticed what appears to be a shim, I think, between your deck lid and hinge mount. Did the deck lid sit low in the opening before installing that. The reason I ask is my deck lid sits slightly high and Im wondering if maybe a different set of hinges might give me that adjustibility or if I machine the mounting pad on the hinge to drop it down.

Thanks Rich

Nice progress, gaps are a blast .......... not.........

I'm working on mine now and have a question. The trunk lid looks as though you closed the gap on the lid edge. Did you just add weld or us a rod and fill?

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Jason,AMAZING!!. This car must go to head of the list for coolest PT car on Lateral-G.I really enjoy going back over this thread.Just amazing.:thumbsup: Scott.

Thanks Rich. No shim on the hinge that's just a sharpie mark on there. Do you have the rubbers installed? If so does it fit without?

Matt, I had to do the deck lid and the quarters. My lid had the skin installed a little off plus it was galvinized so it was a pain to weld on. Try to avoid welding on the lid and work the quarters. I use 1/8" rod and also just fill, depends on how far I have to go. This lid was the worst part I had to gap on the car so far.

67ragtp 02-10-2011 08:53 AM
I wasn't totally sure and though it might be black delrin, I do have the rubber installed, but it sat proud before the rubber went in. Its not a lot, but enough to bug me. Any suggestions?

Thanks Rich

Maybe Delmar, should be in paint stage by then:rofl:
So did you end up buying welding equip. and machinery to fab sheet metal to do it at your home? Or have you been just tinkering with cool trunk latches for the last year. You back to framing or still pushing panties, what ever it takes right.

Just let it settle and see if it loosens up. What rubber you using? The Metro's seem to be pretty nice.

Started with the Metro brand, that really pushed it up, couldn't close the lid. Ripped it out and bought the nitril from classic for a zillion bucks worked much better. Im using the metro stuff all around the doors and its seems to be very nice. I always seem to have issues with trunks for some reason. Thanks Ill let it settle for a while and see if it comes down a bit.

Thanks Rich

Geez, the guy buys a couple bottles of the "Gap" spray and everyone thinks he's the schizzle. Well, let's face it, you pretty much are--even with the Gap spray. Nicely executed brotha---as always--it's amazing to see the continued improvements and fab work you do---

As others have said, the pride really shows on this masterpiece. Watching the front part of the trans tunnel go toghether in your pictures was just incredible.

One question - at one point you showed a panel that closed out the tunnel to the firewall, overlapping the tunnel. In the next picture, it was one smooth piece (after welding and grinding). Did you trace out the opening from underneith, cut the patch to fit, and then butt-weld it in?

Help it "settle" using a dab of Vaseline on your finger and smooth it on the "wubba".... it helps it slide past the fresh surfaces and allows it to form. A bit of warmth from some lamps a day or two doesn't hurt either.

Correct only I scribed it from the top. I try to crawl under the car as little as possible. Thanks for the compliment.

Jason,

My hat's off to you, your car is a work of art.

Keep it up!

fleet 03-16-2011 10:14 PM
If you have to take it to your local Chevrolet dealer for repairs while its still under warranty, I believe they will be very grateful... and impressed.

waynieZ 03-16-2011 10:56 PM
Wow Very nice. That looks awesome.

Rybar 03-16-2011 11:21 PM
Exhaust and underside looks killer. :thumbsup:

Tom.A 03-17-2011 12:16 AM
Outstanding :thumbsup:

Jason, I understand if you don't to discuss cost, but I would be curious how much $$ approx in materials (no labor) for pipes, mufflers and clamps.
I am going the cheap way for now on mine just to get the car on the road
but someday I hope to do a 3" with v-bands. It seems an exhaust system can be in the price range of a set of three piece wheels :wow:

GrabberGT 03-17-2011 01:30 AM
Very impressive work but I have to say that no matter what the focus of the picture might happen to be, that transmission mount has me going back to to stare more than anything. :hail:

White.Lightning 03-17-2011 03:36 AM
Do you have a link to those JCG exhaust hangers? I can't seem to find them.

DOOM 03-17-2011 05:33 AM
RUFKM!!!!!!!! Jason keeps bringing it.....:wow:

GregWeld 03-17-2011 07:30 AM
Did you use a micrometer to space out your tack welds you annal F........

:wow: :wow: :wow: :hail: :hail: :hail: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Super sweet as usual and we expect nothing less from you!
