Posts: 206Looks very neat, any plans to paint underneath black?
Negative, not a fan of stone guard. I’d paint it the correct factory undercoat if and when i eventually repaint the car.

I was going to suggest the same thing sands but wasn’t sure as its a preference thing. On mine I just used that spray can texture coat, easy as anything to apply and made it look schmick as, easy to touch up too. But then no one actually really sees the underside.
I used this stuff, seriously its epic. So easy to spray on, and it makes it look really nice, hides a lot of the imperfections etc. I am guessing maybe I used two cans under the car.
I’m a brand snob, so Teroson water based stone guard would be my preference if i was ever able to do it [we use it on insurance jobs at work replicating the factory chip on sills] it is awesome stone guard.
I’m not a fan personally. being a painter, i like paint. so if i were to do underneath the car one day it’ll be the factory primer & white overspray or just white. will worry about it once i have taken the car out and enjoyed it haha.
Also, congrats on the Yankee site putting up a photo of your bay. Thats sick!
November 21, 2016 at 6:21 pm #20677Is that black? It looks grey in that pic. Looks good though.

All stone guard dries a matte black finish and has a frost white hue to it. nature of the beast unfortunately.
You can always throw gmh black over the top when its somewhat dry as you are able to paint over it.

Moment of truth is finally here.
The first start up of the new combo. Absolutely over the moon, literally shed a few tears of happiness as you can see in the vid. Happy days!
Massive thank you to Matt Smoors, Scott McCafferty, Christy McGill, Cameron Jones & Jess Sutton

Posts: 206The steering knuckle fouls the pipes something fierce.
FYI if you are doing one of these conversions use a v8 kframe with tuff mounts.
The rb30 kframe with tuff mounts sit a whole inch lower [which really isnt a bad thing for the vl] and therefore fouls the pipes.
So sent the car off to Steve Loaders street n strip kustom exhaust & fabrication for the modification and hang the exhaust.
They turned it around in a day! Absolutely stoked!
