Made my way to my buddy's house today to use his blast cabinet.. These parts were NASTY!!
Got home and got to work right away to clean, primer, and paint them (used self-etching primer)
used semi-gloss dupli-color engine paint for the black parts

And I used some silver wheel paint for the silver/bare finished panels, these are't visible, so I really have no idea why I didn't paint them black, oh well, just to be different??

So I picked up some 2 part epoxy upon the recommendation of my friend who painted the car, I laid out the vent frames

Mixed the stuff up (2 hour set time) and gooped it into the channel after cleaning both gluing surfaces with denatured alcohol. First set in place and clamped together

Other side.. Gonna have to clean them up some more after it's all set. This epoxy stinks!! I won't touch them for about 24 hours or more, to ensure it's fully cured. Feels good to get something accomplished!

Boy I just had a wild hair up my rear end and got some more stuff done after posting those last few pics. I forgot I had my latches from my buddy who had them and I didn't know it, so I got those installed just now on both doors (along with the convertible door wedge thingies).

They were all replated, and are so nice! Glad I spent money on the car when I had it! Took 2 tries and I had the doors adjusted just right, they close real nice!

Yesterday, I unclamped the vent frames and started the daunting task of getting the excess epoxy out of the channels, not bad, but tedious!
I laid out all my side glass to evaluate everything...
The white/clear plastic that's on the rear edge of the door glass is very brittle, is that repop'd??

I've got them coming, I'm a chevy dealer service writer, and we have a dodge dealer in our chains, so I got a pair at employee price! SCORE! I can't wait for the weekend, gonna re-assemble my heater box! My girlfriend is stoked! (NOT!)

Nice car, its coming along great.
Question, I noticed you are running a Keisler kit. I have the same one. How is your driveline angle / header clearence? I have my tranny up as high as i can get it and my 2" tti's are about 2" off the ground. Curious hows your is as I need to find a solution to this and it seems that either cutting the tortion bar crossmember or cutting up the headers is about the only way.

I am running TTI 1 3/4 headers and they are in there perfect. Not against the floor, and tucked in nicely and not sticking under the car

ANOTHER TTI advantage: The collectors are pointed toward the raised parts of the T bar crossmember for FEWER bends in the exhaust system. I like that.
