Check your PM's youngin

yeah sent ya the number..

good deal ryan look good man glad to see a young man like yourself getting into good cars at an early age reminds me of myself good luck man.

 

 

yeah thanks.

 

i still want that switch...just havent had any time to come and get it from you yet!

Good Luck with that.

 

 

yeah thanks... sorry im not doing it "your way"

do you post on stangnet?

 

 

yep...mostly in the 5.0 talk forum..sometimes in tech if i have a question...same name over there ( Ryan218 )...whats yours?

man dont get defensive, i was asking a question. yes i do it everyday. if its not my way it could be the right way. i just think your wasting a lot of time product and money. thats all.

 

 

arnt we all.

I thought that color looked familiar, should be good for another 50 whp or so lol .

 

lol not so much.

Thats a good question... why spend all the time to just sand it down to bare metal again. Seems like a waste of product to me. Dont you think?

 

 

you must do body work day to day as your job? if it ain't your way its the wrong way huh? im going to do MY car how i want it...yes it may seem like a waste of time to you but this is how im doing it....im not painting the car here in our garage...it will be painted back in piqua where my dads friend has a bigger garage for this.. so with that being said there..that is why were doing this up here...were just trying to get rid of the surface rust to see what were dealing with..then some primer over it to protect it from the elements....

 

im only able to work on this 1 day every weekend...so its not like i can just go at it and get it all done in a day now can I?

 

this is EXACTLY how we did the 86...got rid of the surface rust up here primed it for the time being, drove it back to piqua..then stripped it all the way down and went to work...it cam out fine..yes its not perfect but for a weekend cruiser its fine..a little run on the fender..hard to tell its there unless you get close enough....

 

in the end it will come out looking fine...all im worried about it getting a little bit done here and there..i got PLENTLY of time...

that is freakin sweet..beat up on some rice with that thing lol

Damn that's quite a turn around on that convertible, good luck with the current project, it seems like you are on the right track.

 

 

yeah thanks...we like it...just a toy for the summer weekends..lucky to see 1k miles a year...if that..lol....

 

both the colors are off a 2005 wrx sti...the blue and silver..

well you shouldnt primer over 80 grit you may not see scratches now but they may show through your paint even with a few coats of primer. You should have gone back over your 80 with 320. Then primed it.

 

Im sure "you know what your doing"

 

when your done there you can come help me with this...

looks like fun..

like is said before....this is ONLY TEMPERARY...IT WILL ALL BE TOOKEN TO BARE METAL AGAIN this is just to keep it protected from the elements as the stang sits out side in my driveway... why spend all that time sanding it smooth if im just going to sand it all back off in a month? no point in it...

When you sanded the panel down, what grit did you prep with before the filler.

 

40..had some rust around the hole...then sanded filler with 80...then primed it for the time being...it will be sanded smooth in a few weeks when i put it on the stang.....

 

dont worry..i know what im doing i may be young but im not dumb.

still a LONG way to go.

pics of said car car!

take it to the track and get a time slip...people like proof of what it runs...although..ive seen this stang before and its a complete animal..if i had the cash id buy it!

um im trying to spend less then a 100 but i know that wont happen so im thinking 200-300. i can get one for 300 in bucyrus but i dont want to drive that far unless i need to.

 

i think he was wanting 300 for his and it is in hilliard...ill get back to ya,..but this is 4 lug so you would have to swap your 5 lug axles and such over to put in your car.

how much you looking to spend? i have a buddy with a 3.73 t-loc 8.8 complete drum to drum.

either of them....get a mustang

Cobra R wheels and a drop: seksi.

 

do it

 

 

way to common..dare to be different...

none wants a import motor...buy a good ole 302.....i think a LS1 swap would be pretty neat....

don't take it the wrong way, i'm not criticizing you.

 

 

i aint...it just sounded like you thought i just pulled my 88 cluster out and put the 93 in.

15 minutes from you.

 

I forgot you don't drive the truck to work..... I'll stop by tomorrow after work then.

 

it took me a damn week to figure out what the 2KGT ment? 2000 GT?

this is what i'm referring to. its not a big deal at all, so don't think i'm criticizing you.

here's the gauge pod out of an '89 car, notice it doesn't have the large hump in the middle, which is for clearance of the airbag on the '90-93's. like i said, it doesn't mean a thing, as i'm sure it fits/looks fine

here's one from a car equipped with an airbag.

like i said..that piece was filled down so that it fits flush with the gauge faces....i like the look of the 90-93 cluster i i used MY 88 case...i took the 85mph speedo OUT of it...same thing to the 93 cluster...TRIMMED the 140mph speedo to fit the 88 CLUSTER CASE then filled down the 93 FACE COVER to fir the 88 case.
