Oh I know "E", little SHITS, but you cant kill em, it's agqainst the ;law!!!!!

Here you go, might still buff a couple more times, havent decided! Over cast day so this is what we get!! Of course the 2 meat heads in the last pics helped with the paint WHEN IT WAS CONVIENIENT FOR THEM!! one on right my son other his buddy , good kid!

I used Finex guns (hvlp) from napa, more pics soon, finished wetsanding , now starting to buff out, what a B*tch, should have done it sooner! Garage is 30 x 36, just finished it in Dec, already put heat / air in it!

here is another reference, my converted 77, not great pics but hope it helps

great info guys,wet sanding right now but within a week time to fire it up again, wanna have all my ducks in a row!

ok we're getting there, now how about the pills in this thing for rev limit, where are they located and were can I get one for say 7000 rpm!

this 77 I been working on has a Msd 6AL system, can anyone tell me about it, it is limited to 6000 rpm, I want to change that, HOW!!! Also does this replace the ignition module or what is the real purpose. attached is a picture of a part of it what is it !! Thanks Think the mod# is 6420

Ill try here in a couple days, busy as hell right now! gonna part this entire 73 not much rust atall anywhere, he busted up the frame again.

Got one in a 73, make an offer and illhave him pull it!!

you gotta stop my jmark !!!

according to the spec sheet if I sand the base coat I must apply 1 to 2 additionakl coats of base, seams to defeat the purpose , so I sauid wizz on it and cleared it, The last coat of clear seemed to take out 90% of the orange peel, one fender with runs, but aint gonna show you that one

Ive got that setup on my 77 and wouldnt do it again, the struts seem alright but the springs as most know are shorter and ALOT stiffer although Im getting old at 47 i would have likesomething in between the tokicos and stock! my 2 cents worth!

Almost forgot 3/4 gallon of base applied!!! still got my emergency pre quart!

Thanks E, the run i dont think I can fix, it was in the sealer!!!!!!!!!! And I had no patience to let it dry for a day the sand it out then re seal!! sorry!! but the base looks damn good , and thanks for the sanding base thing, I was gonna ask if I could. The spec sheet says after 7 Days I would have to resand before clear so I think Ill sand base today and try to spray clear this evening! Yes the buckets were tack welded in and then filled, they are not perfect forgo I am NOT a body and PAINT man!!!!!!!, this one is just another toy anyway will prob end up selling it, it was just something to do in spare time which ended up FULL TIME!! And in the mist of all this some chick pulled up and asked if I would like to buy her 92 300zx with new motor and new trans, for 2000.00, like I need another, oh well Ill prob add it to the colection hehehehe.

No keep up the chapter versions, I LIKE IT!!!!!! ok I have calmed down a bit here is the sealer , then the base, only one run that I couldnt get covered up!! clear maybe tomorrow!!

My gun has fu*ked up all day will quit spraying in the middle of a batch, I ran out of sealer, didnt have any more small quanities in town, had to buy a GALLON, not happy, some runs, trying to repair, arrrggghhhh!!!!

man!!! it aint been a good day so far@!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i'll expound later!!!!!!1

Thanks for the links and advice! gonna start this am, tech sheets in hand!! Like a kid on xmas morn! heheheh The paper on the wall is for spray test patterns!

I'm telling you, Hell I do good to type a line or 2 and ole "E" writes chapters for us, BANG UP BUDDY!!!

Its all in the latch mech. I know the 240 have a larger openeing for the large catch that mounts on the door pillar where as the 280 has the smaller opening with a completely different post type latch on the pillar, wont work without major rework!

Thanks again!

Hey "E" would you start from the bottom up or the top down, I would think top down because of the overspray/misting settleing down?

Thanks "E". Already did the hose drag bit, only took once to remeber that!

C ant R emeber S h*t

Well a big thank you to all you guys for the "coaching" along the way. Think I have gathered enough info to give it a go. here are a couple "BEFORE" pics. gonna be in the 70's this weekend, think it is time!!! Been talking to the paint rep from napa (guy that services all the paint and body shops) and here is my intentions. first step is WHITE TINTED SEALER, not a primer sealer cause I used rattle can duplicolor high build primer and he said that is laquer based and could have an issue spraying primer sealer over it! second step of course base coat, getting a gallon so should have lots with left over. then clear coat, all are supposed to be ureathane based! got to go start taping things off! Oh already did single stage in engine compartment underside of hood and underside of hatch for those that have been following along! And yes I did end up tacing the buckets to fender and hiding the seam! Why, Just because!!!
