Hahaha yeah im a little excited to see what it can do thats for sure thats why ive been so persistent with every hurdle body wise thats been thrown at me i will see this thing done no matter what
i just finished up the shed at 9pm sanding away and smoothing bay out joys of working at night no power tools makes for a long night lol but every hour into it is an hour ahead i am on it. Any progress is good progress. Id like to see the bay in highfill on sunday Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk
Thats a good attitude to have when your stuck in the monotonous stages of just pushing on. Even dialed right down the first drive will make you forget those long nights. Great work in this one
So i got home tonight from work at 6:30 quickly ground down the welds before it got to late on drivers side and spent the night manually sanding and working the drivers side of the bay and got it smoothed out looks pretty good for a statesman bay i think and for the most part the motor covers alot of it but it looks sweet
definately on track for my goal of highfill on sunday arvo

So bays smoothed as much as i want it to be its all smoothed in the areas that are visable and should make a nice impact visually without being full blown over the top
i ran out of 1k etch so i gave up for the night lol

Paint time tommorow time for colour not the initial colour but this will be good lol spray painter issues biggest one is colour choice :/ especially when i have 5000 plus colour chips at work to go through but decided to make use of the atlas grey mix i had for my old ss that this setup was ment for

Posts: 5 777Atlas grey is a bit of a timeless colour I reckon, nice.
Yeah its always been one of my favorite colours and the original plan was to black everything that wasnt atlas on the ss when i had it so ive just decided to stick to my original ideas but on a different canvas
its not original atlas its had a bit of a metallic pop to it aswell subtle but clean wouldnt notice if you didnt park beside a genuine atlas but if you did it would make the original colour look real blue Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

Posts: 5 777Yea nice. Sounds a little like my anthracite, in certain light its got quit a bit or purple too it, gives it some interest rather than just a straight colour.
Thats cool im a big fan of taking a factory colour and modernising it a little subtley always a great thing i did the same to my mates vn ss when i did all the paint and panel on it cleaned the looks up and still stays true to what it is “)
