Well guys, I MADE IT!
The clock is now 02:30 @ night and the car is ready for paint tomorrow.

I entered the garage with fever tonight and I can't say that I feel any better after 9 hours in the garage :(
DAMN TIRED!! I have to get in bed now, 3 hours of sleep, then it's work again :(




Well, pics from tonight

RestoRod "The body"



Finally DONE!












GOOD NIGHT!!! ;)

Good Job! Now go get some sleep!

Well, the car is now in the hands of my painters.
I have to admit that I get a bit proud when I get cred for my work with the body from the painter. All these hours spent... I got paid today :)
Not much for them to fix, just some minor dents that I did not see at all. :)

The painter promised me some pics on my mobile when it starts to look like a car again.
So maybe there will be some sneaks before sunday ;

First photo from the painter. Ready primed :D

Nope, but I am changing to some other walls on the new tires. These ones are to high.

Housten, we have TOUCHDOWN! :)

I didn't manage to keep out of the garage last night. After some cutting ang welding I managed to get the front 30mm lower :)
I have trimmed the lower parts of the suspension and the frame head.




LOW! But I think I have to was the pan soon :(



Paint!!
Well, it is done :) Went to the painter to pick up all the loose parts today, and I saw the car for the first time.
PURE PORN! The color and the flatnes is just RIGHT :D :D

But enough talk.. here's the pics





















One of my kids got her room filled with parts... :)

The inner roof and under the bonnet is not finished as you can see. But I got some scary plans ;)

I'm curious about the rest.

Stijn 07-12-2008 16:51

Love this build colour is very sweet...

Awesome color!!! Really nice project you've got going on here....

DrLaban 08-12-2008 18:26

I have to finish some stuff inside the house before x-mas before I start putting it back together, but I am a weak man, so I had to do something.. ;)

I am going to use 3/8" lines and valves. The old setup which is in the car now is only 1/4" lines and manual air switches, no valves at all.

DrLaban 08-12-2008 20:26

I just had to do something tonight... :)



Added some chrome to the air intake under the window to add a contrast to the flat paint.
