Fixed the buttons in the console.

I used a thin aluminum "blank" (cough, coke can, cough) and some cheap Harbor Freight 2 part epoxy to approximate the original shape/tabs. I did this once before on the other one, and it's held up for 2 years.

 

As long as you bought the can of coke at home depot you are fine...

 

Passenger side hydraulic lifters and started painting and working the RS wing.

 

Suncoast PCA Swap Meet...found a great deal on fog lights.

 

Went for a drive with a couple friends. Mid-seventies here today.

 

Semi-annual N2 fill for the MCS. Getting pretty good at it - 30 minutes or so, including getting the car in the air to get the suspension at full droop. N2 fill rig really helps.

 

I finished painting my RS tail and thank goodness for the help that I had from members who convinced me not to paint the tail with a rattle can. I ended up buying a pint of a base and a pint of clear and went to Harbor Freight and bought a moderately priced HVLP paint gun.

I learned a great deal going through the process of painting. I learned to be fluid in my paint gun motions and consistent in my distance from gun to part. Color sanding makes up for a less than perfect clear coat finish.

I also purchased 1/4" rubber welting from fleabay, to provide a more finished look to the job. Welting is the rubber bead around the RS tail.

p.s. I believe the RS tail to be a Getty design fiberglass iteration.

My original post is here, #439.With the tail in black, as I received it from the seller.

I need to check my N levels in the MCS; I had sort of forgot that you need to refill at full droop. Not such a big deal, do the fronts, then the backs...

My project over the past few days:
1. Changed out the front wheel bearings, one was close to destruction, the other was noisy,

2. Realigned and corner balanced the car,

On the 14th of April, out to Buttonwillow to see how everything hooks up.

 

looks like it turned out great!

 

Cruised PCH with my son who snapped this photo

 

Paul- well done. The paint match looks spot on. Where did you source the paint from?

 

Thank you my friend! Touchupdirect.com
Waterborne paint, low VOC's.

 

Quoted the wrong post initially. Love the white turbo twists. Are those color matched from the factory or did you have a shop do it? I have a set in storage and will be doing the same thing, glacier white.

 

Car is in getting new CV boots today

 

My car was ordered with color matched wheels. But I did have mine refinished. The factory match will maintain the silver color on the outer ring and matches the body color on the rest of the wheel. I personally didn't like the silver outer ring because it shrinks the diameter of the wheels optically (makes them look smaller than 18") so I decided to do the entire wheel in Glacier white when I refinished them.
