all the paint work was done when i got the car so i dont know.i'd say it was ppg,i know the body has ppg on it.i've been useing some 1.30 a can stuff from the dollar store on parts i've cleaned,semigloss stuff works real good and is tuff too,hell its good as any i've used.the por15 on the rear housing is just bitchen,put on with a brush and looks like glass when its dry. i got the alum drive shaft from the exploder too,took 3"outa it too.

i think the clutch cable setup will work ok,a little close in places.the chrome oil pan is a POS that leaks and may not be on it long. thanks for all the compliments guys!

imfao

still have to deal with the e-brake but the rest is done! no bitchen about the traction bars! it's a "back in the day"kinda car.lol.

Lee I know what you are talking about My 69 has a chrome oil pan on it my brother gave me I had use black rtv on it on the ends to make it seal I let it dry and took a razor knife and trimmed it up so it wasn't so noticable. Then the oil plug want to leak I changed to a brass washer to stop the that leak.I sprayed mine with clear to help keep it from rusting i should had went to the junk yard and got one would have been cheaper in the long run.

Traction Action!!!!!!

Looks really good. Oh I can see the pics now.

thanks guys,i worked on the e-brake today a little.i found some cables off a firebird today{junk behind the shop}the ends were the same as the exploder rear so i had a brainstorm! i'll get pics when its done.lol

That is a nice ride........

thanks,it's had a lota work done before i got it.i knew all the owners of it and how much they did to it so i want to try and finish it best i can.i'm still looken at wheels for it i like the tq thrust 2's but damn,its been done to deth like fox body's and welds.lol

Nice! My second mustang and "the one I hate getting rid of" was a '68 coupe. Yeah, I know over played but hard to beat that look of the tq thrusts! Maybe some black 18" bullets?

not much on the black wheels,more of a bling bling.lol. the car is black and all the holes were filled for the trim i can get the stick on's for everything but the quarter panel so it may not have it.

i got the e-brake figured out.the cables are off a 02 firebird,lol.i took out the bracket with the cables when i did tail clip a few years ago thinking they'd be handy for a project like this and turns out they were.it hooked up to the factory bar under the car with a little bracket made for the short cable to hook to.it even works! also got the cooling all in,brakes done,drive shaft in,and hung a wheel on for some ideas.its a 17x9.5 with a 275/40,what yall think?

bitchin ride : I've found out that if you take the chrome plating off of the gasket area that it will seal up ,hope this helps

if i pull the pan it'll be changed! the motor came with a fox pan on it and the chrome was also with it so i used it,when i shoulda cleaned a factory pan up for it.

Lee , I don't care if those wheels are used 10 million times..I still like them! Sweet ride!!

thanks Dan,i think i'm gona get the polished wheel.i went to a car show today and got a look at the chrome a/r's and they dont pop like the polished wheel.rocket makes a wheel i like too but the cost is more than the ebay wheel/tire a/r's.

I like those wheels on everything. Car is lookin real cool.Bob

very sweet ride

Lee, I also like the T Thrusts. Stay away from any chrome wheels,because that Chinese chrome is shitty in many ways. Can't keep it from rusting thru from underneath and can't keep it from peeling off after time

Car is a cool piece

Rear tire size/back spacing looks good to me! Trade ya a viper for it

thanks guys! i'm starting to like this project,its coming together a lot faster than a racecar does. soupbean,i aint into mopars but thanks anyway. i guess the only down side to this project is it's just like a racecar,not worth half what you got in it when your done but it beats the hell outa nothen to do.
