I am indeed over the load capacity of the car when I sit in it (700 pounds bassweight, plus 190lbs of me), so I'm straining some of the components a bit - brakes, suspension, and driveline included! Considering how cheap this car is, when it breaks, I'll just upgrade the component or beef it up. Hell yeah! I considered doing a brake upgrade on my truck too...my system is fairly light weight for what it is (Baltic birch and super caps FTW lol) but with the added weight of the v8, she's probably quite close to being over weight hahaha Current Build: Project Flexington: 157.6db @ 37hz Parallel 6th order walk through, DC Neo Elite 18s, 4 DC 5.0ks, JY Lithium, 12 banks of XS Caps Old Builds:150db and HAIRTRICKs from 2x 12" Power Acoustik Mofos (6th order blow through) ;<p>Roadmaster Wagon Build - DC LVL 6 M3, Kicker Warhorse ; Godzilla swapped 240sx ; 6th Order Bandpass Alpine Type R 12 ; Fully loaded DC Level 5 18" 240sx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Looking good man! What glue did you use to fill the seams on the panel?

WalledSonic Posted May 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 So my neighbor (who manages a body shop) sent me some potato quality pics of my pinch seam repair. There has been lots of weld laid. Not the prettiest, but this should hold me over for a bit. Passenger side Driver side (which had just recently began leaking) This is the first work on the car thats been performed by someone else. I feel so 'out of the loop' not seeing every little step along the way.

If you have the money to buy one, just buy it. You will learn very quickly. And then there's forums focused on welding, just like SMD is for audio, so learning tricks for the task at hand is easy. After that, it only takes a few inches or a few feet of weld to pick up the finesse part of it.

WalledSonic Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Picked up my car from the body shop today. I was only charged $22/hr for labor rate since my neighbor is being neighborly and all, so its hard to complain about a 50 cent dustcap. So I grabbed the shop vac and popped the suction end all over the dust cap, following the curvature. There was a really soft crease but most of the dent popped out.

WalledSonic Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 The shop used a special spot welder to pinch the seam and spot the weld. I told them to leave it primer because I'm still working on the car. It also saved me time and money. The positive side? The dude also welded the open end where the 2 sheets meet, so this thin ass pinch seam has plenty of connection points! Here's the only place the primer shows on the outside. Not bad. I might rhino-line the roof or something. Havent decided yet, but looks are outweighed by function right now!
