So...yeah. Minor setback today. Had a clearance issue on the rear quarters. Sucks cutting on brand new paint.

Ah man, sucks losing that sweet line across the fenders! Still going to look incredible though.

John, you can keep that sanding gear a while longer if you need it for that fender work

Holy awesome!!!!!!!
Bummer about the fenders. :( How heavy was that roll of Reflectix and did you just lay it down then tape the chunks together with foil tape or something? I'm guessing it's mostly heat first, deadening second? |

So, worked on it again tonight. No matter what I do it isn't going to look as good as it did. Got the basic lines roughed in and it looks out of place to have the body line start and stop and then start again. No pics. I'm kind of disheartened a bit. Will keep working on it. Painter is going to be in town this weekend so I'm trying to get them done so he can take them home with him but my motivation was pretty low tonight. Worst it's been since I started two years ago.
|
have you thought about removing the two body lines completely? or going back to this and adjusting the body line so it follows the upper bulge rather than through the middle?
|
No updates? Need saaaaaab.

Been thinking about this build, and realized we haven't gotten any updates since spring.
What's up with it? Any progress at all? |

What an amazing build. I just read from the first post, and I was like "no way", then I was like "huh, is he actually going to do it?", then I was like "wow, nice", then finally "OMFG that is amazing!".

After the fender fiasco I lost momentum and walked away from cars for a bit. Haven't touched it since April. Well, I needed to get my windshield replaced in my truck and while he was there he installed the new windshield and used back glass. It got me moving again.
https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 Finished fixing the tire rub problem that I started back in April. Some back photos for those who forgot where it left off. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 Ready to go back to the paint shop. I lost the style line that I worked so hard to keep but it still looks good and flows well. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1422852473 |
I need to finish this. Not just because I want to, but I just bought me next project. An early 260Z. The "early" ones are the 240Z body and the "late" are the 280Z which are quite large. It needs a head gasket and that's it. Don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it yet...

Last I read in GRM, 240s were competative choices, but their cooling system was fragile, or was it the entire motor? I forget. Nice looking cars either way, and anything with a straight 6 is win in my book.
