Body Work....

Since the engine in this car had to be torn out and rebuilt most of my summer had been spent doing body and interior work, both of which I have come to realize are time consuming and expensive. I had to come up with the color scheme I wanted for the car, and Decided the interior would be black and blue carbo fiber, and the outside of the car would be a daytona blue similar to that of the Nissan 350Z and that it would have gold rims. This combo I felt would make the car stand out without saying that I was a douchebag just looking for attention. so I began my work with a heat gun. I had to go around the entire outside of the car heating up the old primer and scraping it off, and that was the easy part. The last owner of this car tried to cover up all of the natural body lines with mind boggling amounts of body filler or bondo. Taking all of this crap off took me the better part of two months and in the process I found out that the current body kit had been destroyed. So I took off all of the fenders, bumpers, etc. and now I need to buy a body kit as well as paint. This car keeps getting more and more expensive, which in turn means that it will take longer to complete. I dont really mind too much because I enjoy the work I'm doing. I also tore apart the interior of my car, and from the pictures you can tell that it was a mess of wires that I had no clue to tell what they did. To figure out the electronics I will need help from my brother, who is the master teacher behind this operation. The interior panels were taken to WyoTech, where I was lucky enough have the upholstery department use my pieces as a class project and the work was done for free, I only had to pay for materials. I have the completed pieces and in my next blog I will be posting pictures of all of the pieces. So until then, check out my pics and enjoy! Oh and dont be afraid to leave a comment on my blog, it's nice to know someone is reading and hopefully enjoying the things I have to write about. Thanks everyone!
