    It's almost been a year now with barely any new movement on the build up until two weeks ago. I have been in savings mode for the next level or phase of my rebuild for a long time now. I brought my car back to Time Machine Racecraft and had Tho fab up some mounts for the front strut tower bar that would be stout enough and fit around the camber plate section. He had to wing it and guestamate clearance from provided pics of others installs, due to the lack of engine mounted. I now need to dismantle the doors and pull the window and trim from the rear hatch in preperation to have the car media blasted, which hopefully will begin within two weeks. I have been gathering most of the needed supplies (eastwood's undercoating/gun,seam sealer,) and still need to get 3m panel adhesive for the rear panels as well as the paint and compatible acces. I am almost certain I will use a two stage using either PPG, or Dupont paint. Still up in the air if I will attempt my first paint job or bow out and have a professional do it depending on cost. After a rediculously tough decision which bounced between 6 different colors, I am almost positive I will paint the car with Nissan 350z chrome silver. Such a hard decision to make after seeing so many nice examples on here. Here are a few pics of the progress as well as a few of Tho's Mazda rx4 and Silvia that he had in the shop.

    Smoorenc,

    Just curious as to your first hand experience and results after installing this product and driving with it. I will have my car stripped down to bare metal as soon as it gets out of the fabrication phase and am very interested in this.

     

    Any one else here ever use this product?

    Keep it open for now, save and then get an lsd.

     

    ^^^ Been in a very simular situation before in a friends old toyota 4x4 wagon many years ago. In hind sight, making the trek from NC, to Florida for Christmas break/surf trip on a shoe string budget and with bad rear bearings was not the brightest idea. I got to see the sparks flying from the bottom of the car in the back right pass seat as the right axle still connected with wheel went rolling off into the woods, still glowing red. Stranded in Bruinswick Georgia for a couple of days, ah yes the memories.

    Ehhh, Im pretty sure I can cover the panel the same way but the jury is out on this one, its gonna have to be something thing that I gotta see the tape aint doin it for me. BUT!!! I like the idea

     

    Maybe running the lower half of the leather border from the left side below the speaker hole where the curve starts to form, then the bottom half just to the top of the door opener pull plate. It would lighten the heavy visual feel that the tape currently shows. I am looking at what you started with the tape, and visually thinking what approach I will take with my set of panels. I have a small tweeter hole on top of the bass hole to contend with also. I am also hoping to use a chrome or brushed metal piece on the top side for a visual break, enhancement from all of the black. I very much like what you have come up with, with it's progression. :2thumbs:
