No, I saw the white and thought you had come over to the white coupe side. I think I remember you talking about the orange when you started the project.
I may be an Infiniti traitor but the move gave me and extra day each week to work on my datto...bwahahahahaha (don't think I'll catch up to you tho, man you got some talent)

Edit: oh yea, dude your garage is way too clean

1200rallycar, I haven't seen your thread I'll have to take a look. BTW - the shell was awful, 3 new floor boards, trunk pan, rockers, quarter repairs, valance, corner straightening, rear apron cleanup, oh yeah roof was beat to s**t too. thats why this is taking so long.

My body & paint skills have all been earned on this project & my H1 motorcycle - all the mechanical has been finely honed over years of working on my own junk!

Garage is never clean enough, I wish I had a garage maid. I need to get this done as I may add another project to the space soon...

BTW - anyone know how to post a pic thats not a jpeg, I copied a pic into a .doc/.docx in a word doc & would like to post it, I dont have the original in jpeg thats why.

Evan nice work I'm jealous............my shell is rust free but thrashed.........filler in the roof, seams not the best etc but I'm busy driving it, so I have no idea when it could be apart for 6-8 months.
One more thing, can you tell more about the specs on your Delta Cam???

Tom

Tom ,the cam was a "KC" grind. I'll look up the spec's on the paperwork from the machine shop & post them. It's suppose to be a grind thats got a smooth idle but enough lift & duration to make it pretty responsive, not full on race w/lumpy popping idle. There's filler on my roof too, I spent a lot of time pounding out dents then metal shrinking it with a disc & then it got the filler & a few coats of Featherfill G2, its pretty close to perfect now. I still need to shoot the 2K primer & block it out.

Everytime I've tried to convert it to a jpeg then post the cut & paste feature when posting in the image icon doesn't work so I dont know whats going on with it. I will try converting again though.

What, doesn't anybody want my resin glaze, its gotta be worth a few thou.....its collectable!
