thanks Jay,I do like red
thanks wayne hope the pics I sent you helped,if not let me know I will get more
thanks Ryan I am very satisfied with it,you are right the color is Tornado Red from a new VW but in the shade or evening it looks just like the garnet red.

Looks killer Jeff! :thumbsup:

Man does that look tasty. That is one of my favorite color combos on a 69. Always loved the red with black stripes. Hard to go wrong with that combo and it shows! Congrats on being that much closer to having a finished car. You are doing an amazing job on this one.

thanks Doug I do like resale red:G-Dub:

Looks awesome. Can't wait to finally get to that stage.

Jeff nothing more needs to be said!:king:

thanks,it does feel good with no more big messes in the garage
thanks Mario I am very satisfied with it but its nothing like you are building,that fab work is unbelievable

Jeff...the car is looking epic. I find myself just staring at the pictures. Totally love it!!

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

thanks Curtis,I like it pretty well so far

Listen Jeff ,everything you have done to this car is friggin bad azz !! And you did it yourself, I can't say the same. I just put the foundation together for Troy and he took the rest over. I will be painting the car and a few other things but at the end of the day it comes down to quality of work and yours my friend is right up there with all of them.

Thanks Mario that is a much appreciated compliment from you,I do take a lot of pride in my work but wish I had the equipment and the welding abilities that a lot of these guys have,how long before you get to start on your body and paint work?

Jeff thanks again. !

your welcome Waynie,hopefully it helped

Jeff the car is looking incredible. Must feel good having built that on your own and it's in your garage. Outstanding job!!!!

thanks Steve, as soon as I can get the car in the air I will get some pics of the brake lines for you,need some new pics on the paint work on your car

finally got a few days and got a couple more coats of clear sprayed and hopefully start sanding and do some buffing this weekhttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps846ed1d6.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps362fb277.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...psad5f4c6e.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps47e7bca8.jpghttp://i1192.photobucket.com/albums/...ps72b26133.jpg

sorry,hopefully the quality of next pics will be better,slow with this computer stuff

Paint looks great. I thought it was cut and buffed already.

thanks Waynie,planning on starting in the morning just sprayed body Saturday and finished hood,decklid,grille and spoiler today.

Oh yeah - that'll buff out!


HAHAHAHAHAHA



Looks real good!

thanks Greg,I am looking for volunteers because that darn buffer does not fit my hands very well anymore

Well call me after you get it blocked out with about 5 different grits… Then I'll hop right over and burn through what's left of your clear.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Car looks gorgeous Jeff!

What gun did you spray with and what brand clear?

Thanks,the gun was an Aiwata,maybe spelled wrong but the clear is BASF R&M DC-92,pretty nice clear,first time using it

Looks great, she's a beaut!

That sounds like the time I tried buffing new paint on my Z/28 back in the 70's. My painter hide the buffer now when I'm around.

Thanks Lenie.

Way to go Jeff! :gitrdun:

That is looking awesome.

Great work on car.. Who's transmission crossmember are you using?

Thanks guys,the crossmember is from Keisler engineering,real nice piece.

nice......

thank you

Impressive build Jeff! I like the red. She sure turned out nice!

Thanks buddy,I hope to get back to work on it in 2 weeks.

Beautiful Jeff!!! Love everything you picked with this car very my style.

Jeff, I hope that mine turns out half as nice as yours. Great job !

- Sammy

thanks Sammy I am sure you will do a great job,I have been buying alot of nice parts and getting ready to back to work on mine

Pure Greatness Jeff!!:hail: Keep it up and you will be done in no time! Did you ever find anybody to do your interior?

I have a set of Recaro Specialist S seats ordered and have just bought everything else.Bought a package tray and kick panels from The Shop LLC,super nice,went with custom deluxe door panels,DSE roll bar,Clayton Machine Works pedals,gone to look a lot like Jeff Duponts 69 that Jay Doerfler built,his car is exactly the way I really like a car,slightly custom but not over the top.Are you making any progress?
