Swooped by the shop today! slow and steady! :supz: not sure if i told you guys or not had some ____ing idiot sideswiped me a month ago so they had to fix that too. Front fender and rear quarter where both flattened. I'm just glad it happened before the paint and body kit.


before sanding















after primer


they still need to sand the majority of the bondo area down to get it to be as thin a layer as possible.

Pulled the dash out to get it ready for paint.







Sanded the dash using a DA first using 80 grit and then 180. Smoothed out the lip/ring around the outer a/c vents.



Drilled the dash for the other gauges



Removed the factory Airbags. In place of the airbag in the dash, I cut a piece of 1/4" plexi and installed it in the hole after scuffing it really good with 40 grit. We used 8115 to adhere the plexi into the dash. added several beads around the edge and a layer over the whole section of glass. and smoothed it out. it takes 8hrs to harden. we will then add another layer to build it up and throw a coat under it tomorrow. Then i can lay a coat or two of filler to smooth the whole dash, primer it, and get it ready for paint and graphics.





more photos coming soon.

Final test fit of the kit. They decided today that they are gonna mold the kit on permanantly vs just attaching it to the Scion.























Sanding my box down getting it ready for paint.







All the pieces getting ready for filler and paint.

Getting Closer! Today we even played with a few colors.

That sure is a lot of pics, lol. Looking good so far man. Looking forward to the finished product.

 

I have a feeling that I'm going to like the finished result.

 

wow holy pic overload batman!
i like what i see so far! you have pretty much a full rebuild going dang. i like this setup 1 million times better than your first one. cant wait for the finished product. i bet it'll be sickkkkk. (oh yeah spacers on the wheels at all? +40 is pretty high)

 

holy hell, that is quite the under taking. Enjoyed all of the pics. Good luck with it!

 

 

nice progress

 

from pr i wish a lot of sucess on your new project and i can't wait for the final result ...is looking good !!!!!!!!

 

Looks good... Welcome to the shaved side

 

Looks good with the shaved doors. Make sure you are gonna stick with the Diablo kit cause wats it's molded its gonna be a pain in the @$$ to get it off.

Cant wait to see it all finished.

 

Okay here we go.


Black out all of the parts that will show through the opening in the new Body Kit.

Wetsand and wash all items before getting them ready for paint.







The fog lights are molded into the front bumper using 8115 panel bond.

Getting all of the parts into the booth cleaning them with mineral spirits. Then a tack cloth.







Using a yellow sealer brfore applying the base coat.



























Sprayed with sealer before the basecoat.


After applying a sealer coat, it's time to shoot the Solar Yellow.







Mixing up a mid coat with the incandescent flake. Hard to get a good pic of the flakes.









Time for the 1st layer of clear. The Airbrush artist will wet sand this layer down to airbrush the graphics in the morning.















Baked for 45 min at 185 degrees. and left to sit in the paint booth till morning. I will be shooting photos through the whole airbrush process. Getting very close now. :supz: :supz:


Got the box all wetsanded today and put back together, ready for graphics.




















Ready for the new Airbrush artist in the morning.

Sorry I haven't updated here in a while, the project has been kinda at a standstill. I don't have an airbrush guy now..... the first one flaked out and the 2nd one disappeared????? so the car has just been sitting in the booth wetsanded waiting for airbrush. I am working on several things trying to get this all fixed. I am gonna return my rental car probably today and pull mine out of the shop for the time being. $30.00 a day for a rental car for a month and a half is getting expensive. I will just drive it colorsanded for now until i get the airbrush ____ all figured out. Then i will have it all recleared. here are some of the new pics. i started to put the interior together.



















Put on the new Kyowa Racing Wheels today.





Added the wire mesh to fill in the wholes until I get my Billet grilles made for the bodykit.





More peices done.....







Woofer Box Done....



Stripped everything out of the scion to get it ready for the Fat Mat.

Started to add all of the sound deadener, 100 sqr ft of Fatmat Mega Mat and 100 sqr ft of Fat Mat Rattle Trap. Installation is a pain in the ___............ :Hangman: Got alot more to go.





I'll be back at it again in the morning trying to get the Fatmat done and then reinstall the whole interior....... :makefun:

Airebrush photos removed due to extremely ugly airbrushing.....

Once all of the paint is completed, It will be time to add my new bumpstops and my Easystreet air suspension to it. I went ahead an bought another chrome 380 compressor so that I have two of them. The bumpstops are to keep the bodykit from dragging the ground.

 

Nice... Liking the graphics

 

Ordered my new license plate: BAGD XB

 

Very nice Ray! Graphics are very unique! Love it!

 

Airbrush photos removed due to ugly airbrushing....

 

I'm torn... the work on the airbrushing looks nice... but the design is not my cup of tea, at all. I'm hoping the finished product comes out a little different.
