    Hydrograpic is a process where they put a film(can be wood, camo, carbon fiber the patterns are endless) in a tank of water. The film floats on the surface of the water, the part is then dipped thru the film and it wraps around it. I then had my painter shoot clear over it to seal the grapic. You can youtube hydrograpics and get a better idea.

  15. So, you guys aren't buried in snow up there?
     
  16. Beautiful.

    Look how cool the fog lights are mounted down low on the frame horns... Compared to how clunky cowl lights look mounted up high on the cowl.

    Took it for the first drive, only went a few miles and headed home with a few leaks and rattles to contend with.

    Not much done on the sedan, hopefully I have leaks fixed. I did build a package try behind the rear seat. It mounts to the hat channels that run from the floor to rear window surround. I want to be able to throw a set of tools,jack and cleaning supplies behind the seat but dont want to have everything rattling around on the inside of the body and maybe causing a dent from the inside.

    Thanks Monty. Im ready to get the bugs worked out and start driving. Hows your sedan coming along? b.t.w. I installed you old top insert trim a few weekends ago.
     
  27. I'm glad it went to a good home. Work starts on the chassis this week, so I'm excited to see some more progress. I need to sort out the roof timber, and then make a start and body work and paint when I find the time. Keep the updates coming, it's great motor-vation.

    Been battling oil leaks but they are getting smaller and smaller. Took my two teenage boys for there first ride today and rubbed a tire on the rear fender so the coil overs have to go up a bit more. IMG_0748.JPG IMG_0761.JPG
