Any updates Matt? Some mo pics?
you guys are a riot. :lol:
snapped a few pics as I worked tonight.
Heres the ground effects sanded down ready for primer.
I bought a bottle of this rubbing compound/cleaner type liquid
called "Scuff Stuff" and wetted a red Scotch Brite scuff pad.
It made quicker work of it than using sand paper. I highly recommend
the "Scuff Stuff". ;)

I started working on the Hatch today. To my surprise, this thing is rust free. good deal.
Check out the 5lb. hunk of metal I took out of it. Keep in mind it is behind the plastic panel, so the hole wont be visible. ;)

WHOA!! Thats alot of work...
HEY!!
I have a Coupe I can drop off to ya next week. Can ya have it done in a week?:lol:
Serious, looking good guy. Cant wait to see it in the Summer:bigthumb
That car is going to need a name soon. Hows "Featherlite" sound lol
Lookin good Matt
Mental note....don't lean on/touch/breath on matt's car...or it will get dented.
Scuff stuff and a red scotch brite pad is an awesome combo! I used it on all my fender extensions, modlings, etc., good stuff! Car is lookin' good!
OK guy spray that bitch and get to work on the power plant, wiring, drivetrain. Want to see it make a pass in Bradenton 08' not 2012 LOL:cool1:
I just got a big ass box delivered to me from 50resto.com. I hate that place but they got me some nice shit for my car....oh well, suck it up I guess.
All new window weatherstripping for the doors and roof line molding (above the doors). It was too damn expensive, but hopefully the details like this will make my car stand out in the staging lanes. ;)
Glassman is suposed to stop by MD tomorrow and will hopefully hook me up with some love on my hatch so I can have it in primer by weeks end. Dont fret, more pics to come peoples! Soon!
Glassman helped me get the trim around the window off the hatch and I went ahead and cut the glass out to make it easier to work with and Id like to find a non-defrost glass to put in its place. I think they look better and racecars dont need defrosters anyways. ;)

I also dont plan on having a spoiler or wing on my car so I filled in the mounting holes for this also.
