haha, its my old rear motor/tranny mount

 

nice...I still need to bead blast my ****

 

How much was it to beadblast\primer the entire car?

Suprdave

 

$380 with enamel primer, it would have been about $290-300 with a different primer

 

damn thats clean..

 

cant wait to se that at the track next year, looks like i have some competition for the full interior 4 door

 

It does look like a little dog in that one pic. It might be a ghost dog just chilling in that pic. He might be your CRX's gardian angel watch dog!

 

nice work.......no rust at all on a ten your old plus car? What color you going to paint it....what motor?

 

Looks good. Love the old school cars hehehe

 

nice car, btw what are you using for a front end just curious?

 

very nice, I'm sure you'll have no problem meeting minimum weights, prolly may hav eot ballast some, old paint weighs a ton, and you jsut took all that off ? thats great.

Are you throwing a b-series in there or other ?

Greg

 

i hope i get all of your questions..

im using a MB 2ng gen crx front end, its gonna have a k-series (k24 destroked to 2.3 with k20a head), the old paint was totally bead blasted off and there was just a little bit of rust under the windshield cowl on each corner.. i was suprised there wasnt more!

 

heres a small update..







thats my tenzo ARRRR seat, it was cheap and should get the job done.... i didnt get a pic, but i took the doors off, im waiting for the fiberglass ones to get here.. and i spent about 4 hours trying to do the ******* lexan... but it wouldnt cut right.. it would just splinter and crack. So i need to go to home depot again and get the right stuff hopefully this time, i think the stuff i have is way too thin, and might be the wrong stuff..

 

unless your home depot is different from ours your gettin the wrong stuff. nhra requires a 1/8" thick lexan. a good place to look for it is at a window store or like a mom and pop type home improvement center.

 

ya.. the homedepot here has 3/32" which i got through like 1/2" or something... its the right stuff.. but i just got it too thin..

what do you guys use to cut it?

i carefully used a jig saw.

 

cutting lexan works best with a router,using a flush cut bit u can make a template of ur glass with 3/4 mdf and use it as ur jig that way ur cuts are perfect and won't crack or look like a pissed of beaver cut it out for u

 

Jig saw works great

 

rotozip and a steady hand...

Another thing to help is to put a piece of 1/4" board underneath the lexan, and it will help to balance and hold the lexan leve so it won't be as flexed.

 

Why not just buy them pre done???? http://www.optauto.com/webstor...t=854

Options probably has them in stock..

Cause its about 1/4th of the price. and besides, cutting , fitting and riveting lexan is fun
