squirtin some blue


Well we finally got the House of Kolor ,Oriental Blue shot and it looks tuff ! Took a long day of work to get it all squirted but the effort paid off.This will be a very visually striking car,and we all have put in a ton of work on it , but as the home stretch is in site we can't let up ,just gotta finish!I did have some issues with the paint ,most of which was human error, and some dealt with not having just the perfect place to work!



To date we have assembled most of the rear of the car,bumpers ,lights ,trunk and quarter glass.This week I'll polish most of the car and do the door rubber and the the ominous task of wiring her up,and finishing the air con and dash

stripes,embelishments, or what ever !


Got the stripes, laid out and sprayed. I used a silver base and scuffed it up with steel wool and scotch bright pads to give it a roughed up aluminum look.Then i added some kandy blue streaks and some transparent black shading just to give it some volume.I think this looked a little bit better than just plain silver stripes separating the two colors , it added interest and a custom touch. We will decide if it needs pinstripping after the blue is done and cleared.

Insulating the Nova



A little bit of insulating is now the job at hand .We are using a product that is used in the airconditioning industry to insulate ducts . The big boy Albert found it and it works great looks like Dyna mat . It has a sticky backing and a foil side to help sound and temp .We use two layers and it really quites it down .Also you'll notice the battery in the trunk and the NOS bottle for a little more umph !He'll need it for all those hungry Mustangs that will want a piece of him. After the paint is on we will paint the inside of the trunk and carpet it also.
