Raven R code 281 Report post Posted February 3, 2017 Sweet! Decide on stripe colors yet? Going wth Red. Hoping Marti Auto would start producing their stripes again. Supposed to be correct and as close to original as possible. Not sure of any other vendors that produce the stripe with the gold overlaid on top. 3 quoriSer, unlinihada and SweellTrex reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stangnet33 88 Report post Posted March 12, 2017 So how are things coming Dave ? In case you haven't found out yet, I phoned Marti awhile back and was told that the company that made the stripes for them went bankrupt , so they on a search for another supplier.

In case you haven't found out yet, I phoned Marti awhile back and was told that the company that made the stripes for them went bankrupt , so they on a search for another supplier. I recently called and heard the same thing! Now as for stripes, I heard NPD carries some nice ones. So....car is done with paint! 3 coats of black and 5 coats of clear. Sanded between 2nd and 3rd coats of clear and then sanded again between 3rd and 4th coat....5th coat apples right away over the 4th. Once engine is in and running, we will put front clip on and cut and buff to 3200 grit. Glass should be in this week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Raven R code 281 Report post Posted April 4, 2017 So gett'in down to the nitty gritty in the paint dept. Gonna paint the engine bay, suspension and shaker scoop in antique flat black from Chassis Saver. The blackout hood option is going to be sprayed with SEMS hot rod black (with a drop of flattening agent. Anyone go go that Route? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's high temp and chemical resistant. Plus it was a close match to Krylon 1613. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caseyrhe 650 Report post Posted April 26, 2017 looks good Dave, may want to get the brake lines in and attached before the motor goes in, the rear and tunnel could be real fun if you dont 1 Raven R code reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
