I bought this car from a co-worker at the Phone Co. March of 2004... It sat in this location in Yorba Linda for11 years. I got it running and drove it for a few months...then it was time to start on a pan off build.

Dustin helped me build it while he took up residence at my house for his engine build. My wife was getting jealous! |

Holy COW... what a nice car, Scott! Dig the 1980 license plate, too. (1AAA000 started off that year and format)
Killer job on the backyard spray booth, as well. Can't wait to see that car when it's all built. Thanks for sharing and please keep the cool pics flowing.

Exhaust fans moved 4500 cfm...Todays spray guns have only 10psi at the cap. Most of the material stays on the car. The mist never got near the plastic or the lights. Not a high enough concentration of flammable material for a spark to ignite. The new paints are high solids.. not as much reducer as in the past. |

I'm havin' Scott build my next set of T-Bars Hey Sarge, I'm thinkin' since you helped put the body on ...you could just have the T bars...They would look Bitchn' on your ride. Thanks again to you and Bill Schwimmer and Dustin for the help. Here's a few pics of the day. Looks like I caught you with the spy-cam! Scott |
