I'm sick of being heavy and slow so I put the car on a diet...

I'm frustrated by the way my car has been running lately so I decided to put it on a diet. here's some pics...

OK, although it would be nice to drop this much weight I actually pulled the interior as I'm having a legal chrome-moly roll bar installed by Henry at http://www.hfrfab.com
The car goes in this weekend! I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I'll miss my 'ol chrome car bar that I've had in the car for years, but with the turbo going on soon its time to pull the trigger and get this done.

I had it sprayed when I had my old body kit done so that it matched perfectly. The place that did it is out of business.

A lot of time and patience. I did it myself with a touch-up paint bottle and a brush. I just took my time and it came out like that. It needs redone as I did it about 7yrs ago and the paint is cracked a little bit. It doesn't look bad, but it could use a re-do. If I got any paint onto places that I didn't want it, it came off fairly easy by picking at it and "flicking" it off.

Tim- this guy does incredible work, and I have yet to hear a bad thing about him. I just back from dropping the car off and I feel even better now having met him and discussing what I wanted and what he could do. A couple places are going to be tight, but he seemed confident he could attain all of the attributes that i wanted, and there were a number of them. LOL! He said it should be done the week of October 5th. It'd be done sooner but I want the Chris Alston Chassis Work's clevis type swing outs which he has to order... man are they expensive, but they'll look so good in there that I had to have them.

BTW- I've had my interior painted since '98, and it still looks as good today as it did when I had it shot. A lot of people have questioned me about that and I figured I'd add it here.

**yeahloh95** · 09-27-2008, 05:07 PM

yeah i wish i could have went along today .

The rear seat belts may have to come out or be relocated as the plate for the rear bars doesn't have enough room to fit in there with the seat belt mechanism since they both want to occupy the same space. Henry is going to try to make it work though. As for the speakers, they are staying. I may rip the mach460 enclosure out and put an 8" sub in its place, but that is a ways down the road.

Well, good thing for you there are thousands of other paint shops out there you can call to have it done.

if your good you can just do your interior pieces yourself with rattle cans

its not too hard to do

I tried using a "spray bomb" with color matched paint and the results were NASTY! It was impossible to get a uniform coating on all of the surfaces. If it had a finer spray it would have worked, but finding color matched paint in spray cans can be a bit difficult.
