Making progress!

That it does I spent many hours grinding that floor and wearing the mess!!! But when you see a finished product it makes it worth it!!

Looks great. But what made you undercoat it when you had such a smooth base to paint over?

 

[Squid4life]

Man that looks great! I am soooo jealous!

I was going to paint it semi black in the beginning then moved on to Por 15 but heard plenty of stories about that and other like it not sticking to bare metal well even if prepped correctly plus fading! Then after i got it stripped i found some swiss cheese in the pans and welded them up making the floor not perfect so after seeing dsapper's line-x'd bottom i liked the look and that would hide the floor imperfections to some degree not that they are that bad. I was going to transport it the the line-x shop then after moving the car indoors bolted on the roti i know this was not made for a bouncy ride on a roll back or trailer all i could see was it falling off the roti!!! so i then searched for the latest and greatest liner i could apply similar to line-x and found a few but monstaliner is what all the craze is with the jeep guys and it got rave reviews so after many questions which the owner was more than happy to answer i went that route! I think its a clean look for the bottom not show paint but clean and the car was half undercoated fron the factory so i just did it right and did the whole bottom with a product way better than undercoating!
Thanks for the all the good words!

Well the body is completely stripped of every nut/bolt/part besides the glass which will be removed by the paint shop. I picked up the body cart tonight and it's getting loaded tomorrow then off to the paint shop monday morning! the guy at the shop will be taking plenty of progress pics so i will be posting them as them come! Did not think i was going to go this far but i said lets do it right the first time around!

Here is a update and some pics of the frame and the body should be coming back from paint in a few weeks. Also some pics of a bolt in rear shock tower brace i made up yesterday going to powdercoat tomorrow and will be picking up my M9 housing! Just waitnig on brakes and a few small items and the suspension is done!

Nice brace!! Ever think about selling them? Any reason you didn't box the frame? I'm assume your going external pump right.

 

[6togo]

Probably should have boxed the frame but i jumped the gun and had the frame coated before putting allot of thought in it but i figure with every bolt on brace a few welded on and poly mounts it should be pretty decent! I have not decided on the pump yet but the hard lines are 1/2" feed and 3/8" return so they will handle what ever i do!
I am surprized no one made braces like this before it seem the only time they are welded in is when they get notched they are not that hard to make but i doubt i would sell them because the of the differences from car to car it might not line up.

Very clean and detailed Chris. Alot of effort going into your build, it's gonna be worth it and it will show with your finished product...

I think the bar was set long before I joined this site Chris. Definitely nice seeing builds happening like yours. For me, it's as fun to build them as it is the drive them. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished project...

 

[6togo]

The bar just keeps getting higher though! When i ever get this build done i am going to do a full tub GN that way i have the pro street and pro touring! The big If is when!
Waiting on the rear,brakes and allot of powdercoated parts then it should start looking like something I think the body is ready for paint so that will be coming back soon also!

[SilverBulletGN]
