definitely will be garaged kept when i'm done.

for the engine bay and front wheel wells i sprayed on both coats of rust bullet. for the underbody in the rear i brushed on the first 2 coats over the sandblasted areas with a foam brush, and then sprayed on 2 coats to cover everything. so the sandblasted areas have a total of 4 coats now just in case. i'll be doing the same for the floor section as well.

very nice, any engine mod plans with the rb25? and do you think powerwash(water n air) would get rust off?

for now i am just gonna leave the rb25 stock and get used to it. maybe some bolt on's in the future. i'll be shooting for low 300's, maybe like 320hp, but i will figure all that out later.

and for your other question, i don't think powerwashing rust is a good idea. first i don't think it will get it off, and second it will probably make it worse (water/air and bare metal = rust). so i'm going to have to advise against that

and on a side note, as of right now i am officially 21!!! w00t!!

I hope all goes well with the rest of it.

Do you go to school? Where do you work?

are you going to paint it in the garage?

O and GOOD work on the restoration. i'd love to see the final product. looks like you have a long road ahead of you

i started with 2 bed frames that my dad had lying around in his garage, and ended up with these:

definitely not done as you can see..

so back to the car.

got the 2 chunks of frame rail off.

then i started on the seam where the floor meets the rocker on the passenger side.

also got my sweet undercoating gun from canada to spray inside hard to reach areas like my frame rails and crap.

so that's about it for now. tomorrow i am going over to the metal fab shop and picking up some sheet metal for the frame rails and i'll be doing some more cutting on the floor/rocker seam on the driver's side:

stay tuned

Amazing job. I can't imagine how much you have learned from this. Keep up the good work man. We are all going to want a grand total in the end. Something like this has always been an idea but to much time and money need to be dedicated. Do you go to school? Where do you work?

i have definitely learned a LOT through all of this. yes i go to school. i work at a movie theater making minimum wage (almost)

nice build very inspiring.. can you tell me your setup on sand blasting..

(page 1) i use an air compressor with a sandblasting gun and a bucket of sanitized play sand. all i do is wheel the car out into the driveway and blast in the open so i don't get sand all over the garage. when i'm done i just wheel it back inside, sweep up the sand and run it through a screen to remove all the crap.
