2 more coats of spi epoxy to seal in the body work and bare metal that showed through. Next week polyester will be applied as well. We’ll see how it goes

Re: slammed 57

Looks great!

I must have missed something somewhere, but the driver floorboard seems sectioned and blown out more than you did for the gas pedal. Can you show and tell more about it?

Thanks

Looks great. Firewall cutaway looks good too.
Is that green grass? It snowed here yesterday. 4deg Celsius. That's 4 deg above freezing. Jealous of the work and the weather.

Re: slammed 57

LOL , I know you all haven't seen the green grass for a while now....but better weather is soon heading your way..... Its nice down here, but in about 2 months we will be in the mid to upper 90"S and dying from the heat... everybody has their fare share of some type of crappy weather I guess.

I saw this nicer looking aluminum stock for the dash trim, So I redid it from the 1/4" half round stock. This lets you run LED lights behind it (which I think really looks nice)
I shaped the ends to a spear sanded 320-100- grit , polished and then shaped it to the contour of the dashPosted via Mobile Device

Re: slammed 57

nice job as I assumed from you. The details are outstanding. Those led light chrome trim is very cool. How do you run power to them? I assume they're on 12 volt? Looks good, and the weather here today is SNOW!!

Oooh... now I really like it. I was already looking at that trim in blue to match a blue instrument cluster! We’ll see.
