() Date: July 31, 2022 11:29AM I've had my car for 20 years! Only to get it on the road about 3 years ago. It's been a long journey with long spans of time and nothing getting done. So I determined that this year I was going to get it painted, with the goal being a paint job that I could repair easily if damaged yet look cool to me. So I am still not finished, however I will share some pictures of what I have accomplished so far and will up date as I get more done. First picture is somewhat after getting started. Also Hope the picture shows up, I seem to have difficulting sometimes getting them to go. new computer with unfamiliar operating system.

() Date: July 31, 2022 11:56AM Thanks Mel! When painting I made some big amateur mistakes! (It's been 15 years since I last painted a car) It was a 100*F day out, so I started early (7AM) was painting by 8:30, however the humidity was still to high. This caused the flash time to be slower and in the rush I did not wait long enough between coats. I started the second coat almost immediately after finishing the first coat, thinking that it had been 15 min since I started on the roof. I should have waited another 15 minutes! The first coat gassed off under the second coat leaving little holes everywhere. Also after finishing the second coat there wasn't any runs anywhere, however I layed it on as wet as I could to try and get it to lay flat, this caused sags and runs in many places as the first coat had not kicked enough yet so the wet paint was too heavy and finally started to run. I am planning on sanding and buffing though, so it should be good enough for me. Also I still have the hood trunk and doors to paint, so still lots of work!!!

() Date: July 31, 2022 02:47PM Those pictures sure bring back memories of that stage when I restored my Corsa. LOTS of work, eh. Yeah, & please share with us what you have going on with that exotic looking intake system. Methinks you are going after Eric's "BLUVAIR" look. Nice shade of blue.

I was going after Eric's "BLUVAIR" look! I had PMed Eric to ask him what color his car was, decided to paint it that color, then... shared my idea with my Wife. She thought it was too Bright! You know the saying 'Happy Wife, Happy Life', well I did want her to ride in it sometime. That said the color I used while similar is a color that I had decided on a couple of years ago, when I put the blue stripes on the fender. I was looking at many other colors after that but kept coming back to it. Eric's car is very nice though, and I would have been Happy with that color. I think I will like this one too though. The intake was initially Michael Leveque's 6 into 1 4 barrel setup. I decided to install multi port fuel injection and cut off the 4 barrel plate and made the rest for my throttle body install. The throttle body is located where I could easily use the existing linkage to operate it. I had a different twin throttle body design, but finding the correct material and time to build changed my mind to do what I did. In the future when everything else is done and I have that magical time to do it, I want to build my other design.
