    Hey folks,

    So my trusted painter has pointed me in a direction for getting this money pit project started. Using a DTM epoxy for the undercarriage. I am a long time Automotive Technician with NO Auto Body experience…. So I am here for trusted information on this issue and possible further issues I may run into. I will be starting a thread with pictures as soon as possible.

    Thanks.

    Rob from Austin.

    Welcome to the site. It looks like you’ve got a nice clean car to start with.

    Are you intending on keeping it as close to all original as possible? Same colour?

    Thanks for the warm welcoms guys… it’s not easy admitting you dont know what your doing!

    The car will be going back the same color. Most people repaint in a more popular color but I like the maroon and it changes shade and color depending on the light… So why not keep it? The gold stripe and wheels, probably not staying unless I find some nice black wheels that dont have a polished lip or dish to clash it. Putting wheels on is a huge decision making process for me. :wak

    Cromax. Sounds like a cool job your dad had. I would have followed his footsteps if I were you. I’ve had many thirdgens as well. The only thing that kept me from owning more were the Fox Bodies I owned in between.

    Here is something similar to what I am looking to accomplish.
