Ok, so Im working on the hood right now with not much accomplished because I'm juuust about outa aluminum...On the TO-DO list for Saturday's run... But I have some pics of a few "side-jobs" I did while getting to this point I'm at.

I had to move the reverse shifter..My left knee was taking a serious beating from hitting it in hard right turns where I first had it located, so I built a little mount and stuffed it between the seats. Out of view but easy to access. Sorry about some of the shitty pics, some are from my POS cell phone  thumb down


Designed a new mount for the rev box. Much more accurate than the previous location that was fixed to the frame. It worked good, but this way I don't have to worry out the linkage being out of adjustment every time a large chain adjustment is made... bonus.  ;D


The raw drive-shafts were starting to look nasty from all the rain storms the car has been through, sooooo I got bored at work  eyes  and decided to try some auto body "brew"  on them and see how they hold up.. I get the color I want, they look kinda purdy, and I LOVE to guinea-pig chemical products  ;D

So far so good, although the trip was cut short... wrong forum  wrong forum  But they have withstood many high-speed gravel runs. The blue anodizing on the Fox 2.5 was gone the very first day in the dunes.... Hmm
I will report more after I punish them some more..

Nice! What did you use on the axles?

Started with a very wicked (fresh air respirator required wicked)  metal wash we use for raw metal/E-coat preparation and cleaning. A couple coats of flexed epoxy, 5 coats of an activated aluminum base, and a few coats of a new clearcoat from Glasurit I finally got my greedy hands on (flex additive introduced here as well) Force dried at 275 for 2 hours. Basically encased the shafts in a shiny silver rubber ball!  rofl

Got all the debris bouncing off of it now!

If this holds out I will put the formula and #'s together for ya. I have a good feeling it will!

So you do E-coat at work?  Shiny black that adds very little in dimension?  Do you do customer parts?  I need some of that done from time to time and my current supplier is getting hard to work with.

Nah, the holidays, work, and a quick vacation on the beaches of Maui has kept me busy the last few weeks  ;) Gunna get back on it when the snow starts flying this weekend.  thumb down Snow sucks ass. Hopefully I should get the light pockets roughed out by sunday

Sorry I missed your post Eng! We dont mess with the application of it at work anymore. Just part of a process I use in topcoat application to shorten up prep times

That is a trick buggy! Do you stick to the dunes mostly? Just wondering how well it stops without front brakes. I had a rail that was scary as hell without the front brakes, but it was VW and much heavier. Who makes the chassis? I really dig that design!

Just looked through the gallery. If I ever win the lottery or get a divorce, they will be my first call.
