I'm coining the phrase "JoeTouring" for us guys w/o the deep pockets but still building decent rides/drivers. It's coming along nicely.

Are you still planning to yank the body from the chassis?

Rear bumper had a couple of pretty good dents so I dropped it off at the plater this morning.

Got the brackets for the rear brake lines made up and welded today. Also got the housing stripped down ready to go to the powder coater.

Who did you decide on for the powder-coating?

[gearheads78]

probably Quality or the place you were telling me Stoked Out used. Trying to have everything ready by late Saturday. As of tonight the frame in now bare. Now its time to start taking apart sub assemblies. To save time everything but the motor is getting white or black zinc plated or powder coated. I'll clean up and regasket and detail the motor while everything is out getting done. Then if I still have time I'll buff out the original laquer to get it looking as best as it can untill I have the money to take it back apart and paint it.

There is something very wrong with joe-touring, and I like it :-) Would a full build on a 90 LX notchback be considered a pro touring car? They are climbing on 20 years old.................

Thanks here is a little more. I'm letting the paint dry.

Thought I would come in a soak up some A/C. My finger tips are sore from sanding all the hard to get at pieces of the firewall.

I found the color of paint I wanted by stopping off at a local street rod builder Sasche Rod Shop. The painter there was nice enough to walk me through the shop to see if I could point out the sheen I was after. I pointed out something and he gave me the PPG sheet of exactly how he mixed it. I really like it.
