Red Pepper Racing

Sorry about the small pics. I'm not sure why this is happening.

Make sure the pictures are the size you want them to be in your personal data storage area before you place them in your GARAGE. When you have that configured the way you need it, read Acre's Hatch's post here: http://www.redpepper...topic=59144&hl= describing the correct way to get pictures into your posts. I was unable to get anything but thumbnail's into posts and after reading his process, realized that I wasn't opening the second RPR tab to get my URL picture address from. When I opened the first RPR tab for my post and a second for my GARAGE images and copied the URL address from there, it worked perfectly! 

Made some pretty good progress on the spoiler.

Using SEM texture coat and trim black. The spoiler looks really close to an original piece.

Looks good!  I used a Duplicolor Bumper Paint in Satin Black to fix my faded front lip and it's held up to daily driving pretty well.  Looks factory fresh too.  What are your plans for your bumpers? Paint?

Thanks. The bumpers will be body color. I'm currently looking at wrapping vs. paint.

Nice! Are you going to leave the molding strip that runs around the middle of the car black, or will you be painting/wrapping that as well?

The driver side belt molding is the only bits left. I will be replacing them with some universal pieces. They will stay black just to breakup the color. All of the chrome will get blacked out as well. 

Wow, I need to get on here more often. Not much going on with the build as of late. Came across this illustration of an 84/85 with a ZC hood and he gave me some inspiration. 

So I thought I would throw on the AT hood just to see.

To bad it doesn't actually fit. Time to contact a body guy. 

The biggest thing I have done recently is getting things ready for the swap. 

I will be pulling all unused and damaged components in preparation for paint.

Keep up the good work.  Making the hood fit won't be an easy task.  Good luck!

Which engine are you going to be swapping? And, that's an awesome build by the way!

Oh I know. I have a local guy coming to take a look at the ZC and sedan hood to see what he can to to graft them together.

Thanks. I'm going with a high compression ZC for now.

Stick with the replica spoiler.  The original foam ones are bad at rusting (even in regions that have no rust) and the foam is subject to deterioration.  And they are heavy, about 16 lbs.  Great work.  Keep it up.

As always, projects are a slow process. I did managed to get the car turned around in the garage. This will give me room to clean the engine bay and get it ready for paint. 

Thinking of going with a grey color for the bay. Maybe mimic the Spoon AT.
