Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

Guess who's back! Sorry guys the progress has been real slow for a while, but such is life sometimes. Covid is kinda responsible for getting things rolling again. My buddy got laid off because of the pandemic, and as such had time on his hands to get back into the paint shop and make the magic happe...

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

It's good to be back on it. Now that it has color on it I'm excited again. It's tough to get the color to show in pics but here's a look at the grey. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/1734102D-232B-437D-8BA9-7A738D0BE1CB_zpsk3xpy5ef.jpg http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356red...

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

I bet you thought this project was dead, honestly I did for a while. Life got in the way and I put it on the back burner but she's back. My buddy cut in the doors and jambs this week. Should have the grey lower paint done in the next week or so. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/0A12...

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

Ok so it was been a while. A long while. But life happens and projects get pushed back. I won't get into all that but I'm happy to say that the project is moving again. This is what it looked like when we drug it out to keep the project moving. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/B2BE3...

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

I sanded the lenses with 180 grit, then 220 and ill finish off with some 400 before I smoke the lenses. So here you can see what the 180 grit does. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/CBDACE4E-1359-4628-9F27-008A8A175ECF_zpsxowohuxx.jpg It took me about an hour and a half on each lens ...

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

I know most of you guys could care less but like I said before the markings on the lenses drive me crazy. They are just wax collectors. So I started cutting acces holes in the side of the lenses and started sanding off the markings. I also noticed that the 1st gen lenses are ribbed and i decided to ...

Qtr window seals?

Hey guys I wanted to find out if any of you know if the rear quarter window seal can be replaced on a shorty. I was going to remove the glass for paint but can't seem to find the quarter window moldings. Do they come attached to the window?

Re: Project unfinished business 92 shorty

So while the body work is getting done I decided to start on the interior. I got some SEM Color Coat vinyl coating to help dye the original faded and yellowed interior plastics. http://i796.photobucket.com/albums/yy245/356redux/477BFC03-92DB-4E2D-9B3D-D877BF018154-1434-000000D26AD3842F_zps56a95592.j...
