How did you get the block that clean? i've been trying to make mine look new and it aint happenin, what your secret

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Most shops have a glass media blaster or a hot tank that makes blocks this clean.


You should think twice about puttin APC seats in your car fritt, They weigh just as much as stock and the fabric tears easy. Not to mention the lack of padding, seats are something you definately dont want to get cheap on as your gonna use them all the time.

looking very nice.Is that hood all fiberglass or did you just fiberglass the hood to headerpanel ????

it is all fiberglass i still have my header panle and hood on my car the headerpanel is new no cracks or anything i might sell it later on if my hood turns out allright

Besides welding in new steel, what else did you use bondo/putty/seam sealer etc.? It looks solid.

other than welding it i just used roofing tar it is very solid
