Thanks Gents!




Follow up.

The first stages of making it look acceptable.

A little filler, some sanding, then some black primer. Followed by, you guessed it, another mock fit. After making the necessary modifications the gold block no longer hits.

A little more shaping, sanding, and a touch up respray then it will be good to go.

Some pics for clicks...

More to come. This is fun.

Here's more of what I did tonight. Slowly moving along, enjoying the process.

Tonight I removed the steering knuckle from the old strut assembly, pressed out the ball joint, cleaned the part, and shot some powder at it.

I love detail work like this.

Cleaned up.



Powder -semi gloss black



Fresh out of the oven

Next step: Lower control arms - old vs new




Going back to working composites tomorrow, so I will continue the progress tomorrow evening once I get home from work.

Til then....

great work as usual, nice press you got there

Is that a 280, or An actual 70s fairlady

It is a 1973 240z

Update:

Attached the steering knuckle, and bolted the lower control arm to the bottom of the strut assembly.




Touch up paint.
