TigerVette Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Recently started taking things apart for some body mods and paint. Coming along so far, need to start mocking out a few cuts next. Then we'll do some bead blasting and fiberglass work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest killer408 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Maybe I missed something. What are you going to be doing to it? I also have an 85 and like to see what you do to yours and maybe some good ideas to steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F22trainer Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yes what is the final goal here? Repaint? Custom body work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerVette Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yes what is the final goal here? Repaint? Custom body work? Yes and yes! Complete color change and several body mods. Nothing bolt/stick on here, just some carving and glassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F22trainer Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Are those VA inspection stickers on the windsheild? My first guess would be hood hinges went to the powder coat, but ya got me curious about the rest of the work going on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerVette Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I thought about posting an update, but figured an avatar tease would be more fun. Are those VA inspection stickers on the windsheild? Yup! And they're on there until they expire, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigfoot Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 That got you a new tag line because I have no idea what that is. If you asked me, it looks like the gun port on an F-16...sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerVette Posted December 26, 2010 Author Share Posted December 26, 2010 First rough cuts on the hood (the two on the right) Fairly straight forward with the dremel, cuts cleaned up well. Using a breather mask was my best thought yet. Still have a little more cutting to do before glass begins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that'd be cool but I wrapped up the motor projects for now, just doing bodywork. Got to get it looking as great as it runs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
