Camaro XV

[Beach Cruiser]

It's just an L shapped Tab that bolts to the backside of the spindle to hold it in place. It's butted up against the back of the spindle so there's minimun air leakage. The air is routed to the inside of the brake rotor, I really should make some plates to keep the air from leaking out of the rotor and force it all through, but so far the brakes have held up pretty good. I could tell a difference in the brake dust patterns on the wheel before and after I did it.

And Lead, If I really cared about powdercoating my spindles and control arms, my stuff would be a close second to Marks. But I'm working on a shoe string budget for sure!

Man, that shop looks so awesome. Maybe we need a new build thread just for that!!!

Sorry for the long awaited updates, We have been really busy here in the shop along with getting Marks car into the final paint stage. We have been making a lot of progress in the last few weeks with the small needed details and looks like we will be getting the car in the booth for paint by the end of the week.

We just got the firewall, bottom of the car and subframe painted this last week and back together.


Mario and PPG hooked us up with all of the paint for Marks car a few weeks back. We are getting very excited to see some color going on it this week.











More updates to come next week! The body color and carbon paint scheme should be pretty cool!

How much retail is that just in paint sitting on the table?

Jeff-

You are exactly right, the days of a $5,000 paint job are long gone.
Sitting on that bench in paint at retail has to be in the $4,000-$5,000 range. And that isn't even including the other things it takes to do one. Sandpaper,tape,paper,plastic etc.

Some people just don't understand why it costs so much to paint a car. But when you wrap up 5-6 grand up in materials it really adds up on top the the hundreds of hours it takes to get the car into final paint.

Jeff-

I would say somewhere around $3k

Did we get a paint color hint yet?

2021 is a great clear, but I gotta ask, whats up with the quarts?

[Musclerodz]

I like the end result of 2021, I just hate trying to get that first coat on. It doesn't play as nice as some of the other clears.
