79 cutty Posted July 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2010 I'm curious.. Where did you get the hid headlights at? I looked but I didn't find them. Ebay. I searched forever until finding them on there. They were very reasonable, but I have had a hard time finding them on there again. Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

PUNKYOU007 Posted July 16, 2010 Report Share Posted July 16, 2010 Man this car is gonna be sick! with all this chrome, are you shooting for a show car or just one hell or a street car? Im sure things are going slow with all that attention to detail and that chrome cant be cheap, but do you have a time in which you are expecting to have this thing on the road?

Im sure things are going slow with all that attention to detail and that chrome cant be cheap, but do you have a time in which you are expecting to have this thing on the road? Thanks. I build mine to drive, so hopefully a decent street car when all is said and done. By summer's end it will hopefully be a rolling chassis, and then bring it out next year! I was able to finish applying the second coat of filler on the frame this weekend and begin knocking it down: Unfortunately the pad on the sander took a dump on me: So hopefully I can find a replacement pad for it and finsih up knocking down the filler this coming weekend so I can spray the frame with high build!

79 cutty Posted July 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 Well usually I don't get much done during the week due to work and the youngster keeping me busy, but hopefully in the coming weeks I will start taking care of some small odds and ends as I got sick of paying to ship parts and picked up this: Eastwood Hotocat powder coating system and an oven to bake it in. So hopefully I can start getting a few parts done here and there during the week, as every little bit helps! Also had a new pad for the longboard sander come in last night so I can get back to work on the frame this weekend! Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Progress continues. Was able to knock down the second coat of filler this weekend and the frame is starting to really take shape: Depending on how travel for work goes this week hopefully I will get back up to the garage this weekend and hit a few spots on the frame one last time and then it will be time for high build.

Wastehog Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 Lookin good man. Can't wait to see this weekends updates. And just remember, just because we aren't posting doesn't mean we aren't admiring. I know I don't like cluttering up your build log, so I keep my posting to a minimum. Anyways, keep up the good work, as it is inspiration. 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79 cutty Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Well I know it has been a minute since I had any updates, but unfortunately that is just how summer goes. Too many obligations and such on the weekends as people try to cram a years worth of "celebrations" into our 6 weeks of summer! Anyways, was able to spend about 4 hours in the garage yesterday molding my calipers getting them ready for powder coating! Sorry, Didn't snap a pic of both of them finished.

79 cutty Posted September 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2010 Well I have still been putting in work on doing body work on the frame, but those pics all start looking the same so any progress is hard to tell in pics. But I did make some noticeable progress today.....got some powder coating done. Sand blasted my 30 fuel/brake line clamps my old man machined for me: (Decided against having red accents on the car, so the red anodizing had to be blasted off.) No homo! Hanging them all: Fresh out the oven: Finished product....and a pic of the bolts in them to give a better idea of the finished look on the frame: Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking!

79 cutty Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Was able to get my front calipers powder coated in "Mirror Black" this morning.....pretty pleased with how they turned out! prepped for coating: Fresh out the oven: Final product: Crappy cell phone pics, but you get the idea. Just need to put the piston back into the caliper and then it is onto coating the rotors! Firm believer in letting my cars do my talking! You can't rush quality, it doesn't happen overnight.
