Prolly the wheel hitting it..

 

nyqueenz- needed to get it lower and wanted to increase the spring rate so I cut a couple coils.

 

Great job Sir...keep it up man

 

awesome progress.

 

thanks everyone.

well i'm just going to leave this here

First coat of primer sealer with a guide coat on top



All sanded down with self etcher on the bare metal

second coat of primer sealer

First coat of SEM bright white



This is the only one the lighting was proper to give you an idea of the SEM bright white.



for future criticism the paint is going to have flaws and never be perfect. The aim was to create a lasting base that I could go back and work on in the future when I have the time to fix the details. I eliminated all of the rust and used quality components to keep it from reoccurring (preppready, POR15, SEM Metalock poly primer base, SEM Tru Prime urethane 2nd primer, and SEM Tru Prime primer sealer for the last coat), so the effort I put forth was to create a good seal. Anyways I can justify my decisions all day, but I wanna drive this bitch.

I'm heading up to pick up more paint in the morning and will be applying another coat.

 

u get no criticism from me...not a single peep...good choice in color...can't wait to see when this is all together and finished....i'm sure u're proud of the work u've put into it and i have enjoyed watching u go thru this and let the project grow...mad props..

 

I wanna drive this bitch! Lol your not the only one. I wish I could drive it too!

 

Great job on not taking shortcuts. Looks really good

 

Can't wait to see this thing with a solid color!!

 

so not going with black with black/copper rims? White with gold VSXX should look dope.

 

the work u have done on this car.. I don't think anyone that have followed it will have anything to say about it.. great work bro

 

what about the S2000 engine?

 

Outstanding work, way to get er' done, can't wait to see it finished

 

Thanks everyone! Started to sand today, again. I want an ultra gloss so I'm going to cut the base and apply clear over that. I know its controversial method, but I'm set on removing the orange peel.

Going to leave tomorrow and rains in the forecast so hopefully if I can wing it maybe get the clear on next weekend. Looking to get the wheels refinished soon so any input on color combos is appreciated! Currently have (matte black face, gloss black lip)/(burgundy face, black lip)/(tiffany face, black lip)(copper lip, black face) that I came up with today.

 

WOW! Great Job
