[DUBZAK]

after all this time that's all youve got?

Looks awesome C.

[cstanley19]

Thanks dude, getting the motor back today from the machine shop. hopefully I'll get most of it together Saturday. Pickin the body up Sunday and onto the wire tuck. I hope to be driving it by August 1st.

[crisvr6]

nice work man !!

[cstanley19]

Thanks cris, gotta give most of the credit to Dave so far... but I am super pumped with his work. I saw it last week and I got a chubby when I walked in the garage.. (ok it was a full stiffy)

[dogger]

That color is beautiful! Can't wait to see some pics of it out in sunlight.

Only gripe is why didn't Dave take the plastic trim off the mirrors to paint them? So easy to do and its the right way to do them.

Jesus Christ, its about time.

[TheBurninator]

damn son! Looks good man!

[hubbell]

purple is for girls.....

Didn't ask, but really if it's masked right, not a big deal. I am dying to see it in the sun too.

[dogger]

They are so easy to take apart and its always better not to tape if you can. For this kind of paint job and I'm sure you paid a lot, I would expect the mirrors to be taken apart rather than taped. Especially with all of the time put into taking the rest of the car apart.

[hubbell]

send hate mail to dave then?

[somebodynowhere]

What beautiful body work.. wish I could do all my work at one time like this.

[Golfatron3]

Awesome work so far.

[Toffeerado]

One Of The BEST colors in the world period.

[eurosportgti]

im diggin the rear arches

[ChrisVocals]

Looks beautiful! Makes me wish i didn't sell my corrado.. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[g6raddo]

this is very nice im also diggen the arches. how did you pull them? add metal or unfold the inner metal.. any way they are dun nice.

[cstanley19]

Dave pulled the fenders with the good ol' touch of a hammer. No metal added just a man with some talent.

[cstanley19]

Jesus Christ, its about time.

I know I know! I wanted to make a one page build for all the body stuff and quick updates as I finish her up. I plan on spending every night next week on wiring, and fab'in up the power steering like dogger did on his car. Lots to do but I feel like it's going fall into place soon. We can't all buy fitted turbo kit's made buy other people. cough cough (mike) cough...

Haha the only thing fitted was 3 charge pipes and I had to re-fit all 3 unfortunately. lol You got a kinetics setup anyway ya bastard! Glad to see progress bro, looks real good. U going through the fender w/ the new harness?

[cstanley19]

Still debating between fender and rail, but the fender is so much nicer for access. I'll have to decide once I get it here. It's my first tuck and build for that matter so advice is always appreciated guys. Especially dogger, sean, and dave with fully shaved bays. Pickin up the block from the machine shop in 10 minutes so I'll have some pics by tomorrow of the engine build.

[Sr. Karmann]

looking good Casey

And I'm really diggin those wheels, they will polish up nice

[cstanley19]

hahah they are pretty sick if I do say so myself. Here is a little teaser.

Awesome work, lovely colour...and loving the arches and bay (even some "envy" for the latter )

[-skidmarks-]

[dude rado]

awsome work Dave! really that all came out great.

[cstanley19]

Ya he kind of knows what he's doing.

[dasbeast3.0]

The rail is for chumps, do the fender well.

[kamahao112]

good boy .... you cut out the glass .... its the only way to paint a car correctly .. so from one painter to another mad props and looking good

[V-TEC this!!!]

Sweet build.....

What did you paint the tail lights with? or is it laminex?

[cstanley19]

I used Testors Candy Red Transparent paint available at any local hobby shop. Then I had Dave clear them at his shop. I think they came out awesome.

And yes, windows out are a must when you go through this much work. If your doing a quickie job I can understand tapin but spendin this much glass out is appropriate.

[Darrsh]

looks awesome, its a race to see who finishes first!

[cstanley19]

I hope your not talking about the Irish car?.. I will give you a ride in the Burgundy up to NJ to pick it up for assembly if you want.
