My various projects thread.

Coming right along, should be done by summer?

Coming right along, should be done by summer?

Probably sooner than that.  I have some underside cleaning to do and then just finish prep for paint.

[94touring]

Oh and this was last week...

[94touring]

I've been sandblasting in the paint booth this week.  Absolutely miserable job.  I found the only way to keep sand out of my eyes...

I have safety glasses on under the goggles as well!

Sandblasting is a nasty task outside of a cabinet for sure. Have you tried a hood style over a hard hat? It can be a pain in the butt if you have to stick your head inside of somewhere.....like the internals of a car, but I have never had much problem with it getting in my eyes at least.

Of course with your get up, you could always try out for a spot in the next start wars film

Todays work.

[MiniDave]

Tahiti blue is such a great color!

If his subs and engine are already done, he'll be back on the road by spring.....

[94touring]

Buff day.

Theyre done. I do think I need to pull the rear one apart though as I might have overitghtened the front mounts against the bushings, they appear ever so slightly squished but its enough to make it half a bolt hole narrow when lining it up to the old shell.

Dan, loving this work!!

Door skinning

[94touring]

Finishing up.

[MiniDave]

Was that black POR?

[94touring]

Yeah PORd them and the bottoms got epoxy where the frame and skin press together. Keeps it preserved from moisture.  I'll slosh a little POR in there tomorrow to cover anything towards the bottom I might have missed where the epoxy spreads out.

It's a good thing you're not subjected to drop-in visits by OSHA. If so, they'd be all over you like a cheap suit due to your choice in footwear.

[94touring]

Flip flops and shorts week at the shop!

[94touring]

Headliner day.

[MiniDave]

Turned out really well!!!   

[94touring]

Went well considering it's been a few years since I've done one.

[94touring]

Well that's a wrap on this one.

[cstudep]

You do excellent work, paint looks great!

[MiniDave]

How much assembly are you going to do?

[94touring]

Zero.  Aside from do his glass and help him mount pre built subframes.

[94touring]

Taking parts from the old shell and putting on the new.

[94touring]

The rear subframe on this one took a lot of fiddling to get all the bolts to align.

[MiniDave]

The Rocky Mtn region Mini groups are really active, I'll bet he'll have it on the road by next spring so he can join in on some runs!
