Inner fender skirts being cut out.
Inner fender skirts being cut out.
Fender skirts in and done and body work starting.
Everything is looking good I like the detailing of all of the engine accessories What are you using for paint on the aluminum parts to get the finish you did?
Those floors do look good and really cool to find the build sheet. I was wondering why they had "coupe" written along line J so many times on it when it is clearly a HB. Were all of these cars called "coupes"?
I would say that was internal for ASC so they knew what it was if I had to guess but I have never seen a build sheet for the convertible one or the SC as the were called. I am using Duplicolor engine enamel Cast Aluminum is the main color then frost it with straight aluminum and clear over the top of it the multiple color pieces take for ever but I think look cool when done. Thanks for your interest
Did some more detailing this weekend starter and alternator bracket and tensioner and smog pump I will start with the alternator bracket and tensioner
New door weatherstripping in. Taillights are in. The side marker lights are in. It is starting to look like a car. I cannot wait to get it back into my shop to put this thing back together.
It's looking great, and nice detail work with the smog pump, etc. I wish I would have done that when I had my engine apart. Now I have to take it all apart again or buy new parts to freshen things up.
I can't wait to see her finished!
Cheers!

the big question is Will it be white or Charcoal for the the hood vents for its big coming out party? lol
Looks Good
1 of 3 1985 Silver Grand Prix Capr's
My first New car and still own 1986 Capri
Thanks guys and I am thinking White on the vents it is what it was originally. I have a set in grey as well and may from time to time switch em out. More pics from Today front end is back on it is really starting to look like a car again. I do not get these stupid pictures upside down and sideways. They piss me off. I started holding my I-pad sideways and they come out good now most of the time until today. Why what the hell am I doing wrong.
Awesome build. Thanks so much for sharing.
More from the body shop today almost done some side skirts pin-striping and some trim pieces final buff and she will be coming home.
Either sideways or upside down I do not get it sorry guys I feel like an idiot but no one will tell me what I am doing wrong.
I know it's a small addition, but that orange ASC windshield banner is awesome and it really adds a lot in the overall look of the car. Also, I'm so impressed with the work you're doing. From the refurbishing of the accessory's to the paint and body...it really looks amazing. I don't car if the pics are upside down, that car looks awesome from any angle.
Cheers!

Thanks Mike it just frustrates me this thing with the pictures I just don't get it for a year they were tiny now I get them full size and they are upside down. The car is really close almost done should be home by Friday
Wow it has been a while since I posted the car is done and is absolutely awesome here is a few updated pictures I will update the rest later
Thank you Javdog I appreciate that
That came out great Scott. You did a great job on it. I bet it feels great driving it and I'm sure it turns some heads.
Thank you Fascat it is incredible to drive it is essentially a brand new 86 at this point and to me is perfect. It does not draw near the attention of my Red one but most have never even seen one so they have no idea what they are even looking at.
She looks beautiful! Great job with everything, it's good to hear you enjoying the fruits of your labor. Those orange wheels really set the car off, and every bubble back should have that wing.
Overall it looks incredible. Very, very well done!
Cheers!
