  1. Sorry, I don't want to threadjack, but what size tires do you have on the rear, and have you had any rubbing issues?

    '73 240ZT

     

    285/45/15 the tire measures 12" across with a tape measurer, I have about an inch or two travel before the tire rubs the fender, I didn't trim the fenders in the back because the flares dont quite cover the tires, id rather hit the steel than rip the flares off for now. I havn't driven the car enough to know if there will be rubbing issues

  2. yep, its basically the same thing. U can adjust the mixture but tis a rough starting point. Rememebr to wipe the body down with wax and grease remover fist, I sprayed it on with a squirt bottle then wiped off with a rag, works great, will make thing much better in the end!

     

    Also, wear a respirator when you spray!

     

    good luck

  3. Hey, Im located in Barrie Ontario and looking for the following.

     

    - AIr damn similar to this (MSA type 1?) AIR DAM

     

    - Hand Brake and cables, not picky on the condition but something I can start to build with

     

    - Lock set, just doors is fine with keys, or complete

     

    If you have something let me know

     

    thanks

    also, WAX AND GREASE REMOVER, its essential, things worked so much better with it, 10 bucks before would have saved me a lot of headache, use it before painting

  5. Why the huge cut-out in the rear? Is that a firebird spoiler? I can get one for free if it is meaning if it is you'd better splain how you put it on there!

     

    Cut out is because that section was shot once the car was sandblasted, planned to run dual mufflers at each corner of the cutout but didnt end up doing it. Its been cleaned up a bit since till run some trip around the outside should be alright when done

     

    Spoiler is one of the 3 peice ones minues the two outsides, its glassed into the hatch

     

    Rims are something like 15x10 or 15x11 with a +4 Center section. 285's in the rear, font are more standard

  6. Hey, Ill just quote step 5 on this one

     

    5. Set your psi around 40-80 and do a spray test with your gun on something other than your car. You want to set the flow low to start with, increase it till your getting coverage without runs or dripping. Make sure you have a door open, leave the garage part way open to allow air flow.

     

    note: if you decide to not listen to me and use paint thinner to thin it, you will 99% of the time get runs.

     

    note: If you decide not to listen to me and use lacquer thinner but not wear a respirator and die, also, not my fault. Stick to the rules

    Please, wear protection

     

    Slownrusty, are you from barrie at one point? Its amazing, no snow at all yet. Last week was like 15-20 degrees C highs! I think its coming sooner or later sadly. Its actaully a st162 with part of a all-trac kit grafted on. Shes the DD
