looks good, hows the project going
-
unfinished project(only some cosmestic stuff),using logitec G27 wheel,has 6 speed gated shifter,accelerator,brake and clutch have been mounted so they pivot from the top for a more realistic feel,has working handbrake,has comfy racing type seat,frame is made out of box steel and is very solid,strong enough to weld on surround sound speaker mounts and lcd tv mounts,also plenty of room under the seat for the subwoofer,

-
gj mega,,biggest thing make sure its super clean and just take your time

put in a window this time,with a thermo fan of the ae82 i pulled the motor out of haha,bit of crap in the paint but pretty happy on how it turned out also put new sealer on the seams,was wet rub with p400 and red scotchbrite on the bits i couldnt get with the 400,, 2pac in the engine bay is a must in my opinion
-
$80 well spent i think,used it to dig all the old sealer out and it kinda worked like a scaler on the rust along all the seams and it also allowed me to sand 95% of engine with it using the sander attachment(alot of sandpaper lol) i used 5inch velcro discs p150 which i got for nothing but not expensive for box.then i went over that with an orbital sander with p320 only the parts that arent covered up,,rust converter on all the seams then wiped whole engine bay down 3 times,twice with thinners and then final wipe with 70% metho 30% water mix,,then your 2pac primer over the top of that,,it was still factory paint on mine which is a baked enamel so 2pac can go straight over which meant i didnt have to take all the factory paint off only where i had too,see if you go acrylic then you wanna go 2pac in the future your gunna have to strip all of the acrylic off and i meant all of it,not very fun at all haha,as far as spraying 2pac go on youtube theres gotta be videos on how to spray 2pac,do a couple test panels,youll get it,,but a pretty sure 2pac is illegal to spray without a proper filtration system so i do not indorse this hahaha,, and thats how far ive got so far
-
this is how its done hahaha only thing is add a window with a fan sucking out(put a blanket or something in front of it to stop overspray lol)
