Hey Im John Im from the Bay Area, CA.
I cant seem to find my other thread from a year ago so Im starting a new one. After about a year of not doing anything with the car I sent it off to finally get painted... Here is what its going to look like. Yes I know that it looks like Track rat but i will be using different wheels (see pic) and the only thing that will end up being like track rat is the actual carbon stripe layout (not too many ways of doing stripes). Specs:
LS1/T56
Fully shaved firewall
media blasted/rotissoried
G billet rear/Fab 9 shortened
Speedtech Subframe
DSE tubs
Air ride suspension
Shaved rear tank filler hole
All rear body lines welded closed
Black Interior with red stiching
Carbon fiber hood, cowl, header, trunk, and spoiler
Underbody bedlined
All new sheetmetal
Asanti AF144 wheels 19x12 rear with a 19x9 front wrapped in Nitto NT05's
Full Marquez interior
West Coast Autocraft is giving me an insane black paint job. Heres his words on what they are doing:
Spies Hecker FP 1002 (2 coats)
FP 1002 mixed 50/50 with Spies Hecker 8015 clear (1 coat)
75% clear and 25% color (1 coat)
90% clear and 10% color (1 coat)
Spies Hecker 8015 clear (2 coats)
pull the car out of the booth and let it air dry for 3-5 days.
Wet sand the entire car smooth with 800 grit and put it back in the booth.
Spies Hecker 8015 clear (6 coats)
Color sand (800, 1000, 1200, 1500) then polish
Heres some before and current pics. If you click my sig you can see the super rust bucket it was when I bought it
Car going bye bye for a while
