WOW! Great build! I agree I love the 2 tone colors!......is it done yet?!?!?!? ;-)

[unt8mdgt]

Hey guys it took awhile to get to this point but I finally have it on wheels,lots of work left to do but its getting there

[StangItMan]

This is great ... back at it. Got any idea of a wheel choice yet?

BTW - We have an 84 Tu-Tone car also. 5C 1E = Dark Cadet Blue Metallic/Dark Academy Blue Metallic, and Silver Metallic

I have the weld RT-S on the front and will stay with the ten holes on the rear this year then ill go with Welds next year.
sounds like a nice colour combo...i like the original tu-tone cars, if i ever decide to paint mine it will stay the original colours

This sweetie was left with two other coupes by my younger son Cameron. The wife, my older son and I intend to complete his cars as he would have in his memory. This 84 is one color as many end up ... blue. At a point past Cam and I realized it was a Tu-Tone and planned to bring her back to its glory day. Of course, many important upgrades are already in place - no longer 4cyl. car.

His 87 coupe race car will be rolling on those Welds.

Thanks for your reply.

Where did you get that Alternator Damper?
I need one of those, the alternator bolts recently broke off in the head while driving.
I got it all fixed but I feel its safer to install one of those dampers(is that what its called?).

[unt8mdgt]

Its an aftermarket alternator bracket from summit racing

Your Coupe is looking great by the way.
Hope to get one someday.

Wish I could do all that you've done with my hatchback lol

Have any more pictures of repairing the rust on the passenger door jamb? Mine is rusted beneath the top layer for the upper hinge right under where they overlap. Filled it with spray foam until I can strip it and cut up my parts car. Pretty easy to cut it out and replace?

Cant wait to see more pics of the car!
