Headers and sidepipes with supertraps was 550.00. Jet hot coating. Wolfscoatings out of lamarque TX. They look shinney I just wasnt as pleased with the outcome, wasnt smooth enough on the spraying. Alot of it is smooth some of it isnt.

Well, in that first pic they look nice! Sorry to hear of the "issues". I want to have my block hugger headers done, I guess I'll contact Jet Hot to find someone in my area possibly. Thanks for the info.

The price wasnt bad, never called anybody else. Do you want the #? Its not that bad just felt since there exposed on the car I wanted better. Unless better would have been another 500 then they are great

Still workin at it got the car blocked in 80 grit, Added some more SlickSand , workin on the Jambs still, about to start on the 180 Block, Man blocking SUCKS

I did find a vendor in CT. Thanks for the help! With your attention to details, your car will be a show piece for sure!

I which, I hate bodywork I stopped to finish up a model a roadster for a buddy that has been sitting in my garage for a year, to a stopping point again on his car, so I get to start working on mine again now Got the passenger door and the inside of the door smooth, so now I am working on the divers door jamb.
I keep finding things to smooth more, once you put color on a car everybody will nick pick it, that whats nice about primer rides. But I want color on this car so I am nick picking it before somebody else does

Yeah i have heard of the nick picking , but hey there are various levels of build . Some show and some drivers that really look great . Just keep up the good work

Well between work and family life I finally got back to blocking with the second round 180. Feels real good too hopefully should get it primed thursday and then when I get back from Disney in florida, in a week will start on round too of some 220 or alittle finner. That Slicksand primer works awesome.Got my younger son to start D.A. the bottom of the car, he cant touch the outside I keep finding stuff to change Before anybody coments on my brake pedal. I have a new one bent in 1 piece to install, that one looks like cra#

Here are my seats I am useing, so its my color combo I am going with.Some sort of white? Or? I am going to shoot a blue metalflake, round an .008 on the cage, the inset in the dash and I plan on running a soild color blue flake flame, outlined in another blue with some old school striping throught the car my guestion is would a cream white look good or a bright white, flake silver? Interior will be in white with a blue metalflake trim accents. Any color combos with the bluemetal flake would be hepfull. Had to use small seats not much room

i like it !!!!!!!!!!

john

Very cool and classic look!

Has anybody seen any model a's with a paint scheme like this? Was thinking maybe something like this too? Painted with panels?
