    That is some insane fab skils for sure. Its gonna be a pain in the rear to find glass, headlights and taillights though. They dont look like they are the same dimension as the real ones. Even if they were how much does a mircialago sp? headlight/taillight cost...5k-10k?

    Soda is about the worst media you could use on undercoating. I would use a very fine coal slag (black beauty). It will cut through the undercoating very fast and leave a nice profile for another undercoating to be applied. Also with the soda you will have to neutralize it prior to coating. Start at about 60psi and approx 16 inches away. Don't leave the nozzle over any one place to long. Remove in layers need be. Its not hard. Btw I have a 8k soda blasting machine...lol

    The only standard that has a year is the Bumper standard which is 1973. Anything after 73 has to have approved bumpers. The other DOT requirements are 25 years from the first year produced. Meaning a car that is made in 89' would have to meet 1989 DOT standards for 25 years. After 25 years an exemption is made. The 89 skyline does not meet 1989 US DOT standards therefore people are waiting until 2014 when they become 25 y/o and able to be imported with the exemption.

    I coulda swore, that the DOT said that vehicles made before 1975 where the only ones exempt from DOT standards?

    I have to ask, but whats going to happen in 4 years?

    With the extensiveness of builds growing and growing, the use of media blasters seems to be expanding as well. I chose to use a media blaster to give my project a great starting point as well. I went with Precision Stripping & Coating 921 E Vine St, #921, Lodi, CA 95240 (209) 333-1212 and they did a great job. Pictures can be seen in my build thread here: http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=157707 I paid $600 for the blasting and $500 for the bake on primer. (Your price may vary!!) I dont have ANY connection to the business I just wanted to share my experience with a business.

    So my Z has been media blasted and primered and is going on the rotisserie tomorrow. There is NO RUST TO BE REPAIRED. If you had it to do all over again and your Z was at this point what would you do? I have searched and read for hours. The following list is my plan. I would appreciate any tips or time savers anyone could pass on. FYI Im doing a 2JZ with a single turbo, R154, Q45 rear end and fuel cell. The car will be used as a weekend car and some autox's. Bad Dog Frame Rails Weld In 4 Point Roll Bar Weld In Rear Strut Brace Weld in tube between Firewall and Front Strut Towers Weld in tube between Front Strut Towers and frame. Camber Plates

    Well this thread is just going to document my little project. The plan is for a single turbo 2JZ with a R154 5 Speed blah blah blah. I bought the CA rust free 240z for $800 and have stripped it bare. The chassis is now media blasted and primered. Here some pics so far... Pics of the blasting will be up soon. Up next is getting it on the rotisserie, bad dog frame rails, and some body work.... Here is the Z back from the media blasters with a bake on primer. It was awesome to get it back with no rust to be repaired. They did a great job and I will be ending them more business for sure. the last picture is it sitting on some 19's that belong to my Audi S4. Next is the Z getting on the rotisserie to begin the welding... Here is the Z on the rotisserie. There was ALOT of media trapped in the body of the Z, but the rotisserie helped tremendously in getting it all out. Spinning it around a couple times got the majority out and the rest was sucked out with a shop vac. Next is welding in the sub frame connectors....

    I stripped the vehicle to the bare chasis. Nothing was left. It was $600 for the blasting and $400 for a "baked On" primer. This did not include any fenders, hood etc etc. Just the bare chasis. I ordered a soda/sand blasting setup so I will be blasting the fenders, hood, suspension etc. myself.
