Did this car start life as a wide body or was it a conversion?
hi detom, car is a conversion, 74L model...............DAVE
Great job Dave! Ive been watching your progress. Ain't it great!
Very nice work youve done there. The amount of work you have put into it shows.
What did you use to paint the ZF (I'm assuming it's paint)?
thanx,
John

Where can I find one of those magic cans of Gunk? The car looks great!
Your before and after shots are amazing.
Your original GT5 Campys looked really nice...except they were colored pimp-gold.
Which wheels did end up with?
Great work!

Wow! That is truly a work of art. I can't wait to listen in as you start her up!
Fantastic did you use paint on the ZF and intake or is it the magic can. A little more details please Rob6145
Dave, what a fantastic job you're doing. Every detail looks really nicely resolved. Right down to the blue paint between the fins on the cast valve covers. Please post some more (and larger) pics so we can keep drooling! Thanks for sharing.

thanx,..........johnny, while the ZF was out, i pressure washed it to remove any heavy dirt and grease, i then media blastes it(very CAREFULLY masking any and all openings into trans!), after that i washed the trans down with clean water and detergent, then blew all the water off with compressed air, this gave me a nice clean surface for the paint to adhere to, ...alumablast is available in pints or aerosol, i used aerosol (3-4coats), goes on smooth and even, and its very easy to touch up, i chose not to clear it, (i prefer the matte finish over shiny) i then replaced side cover and pan gaskets,safety wired it and detailed it with eastwoods underhood black, all the stainless hardware is from HALL pantera..........hope this helps...........DAVE
