Who are you? I'll facebook stalk you lol.
My real RHD eg6 build

I'll get a J's racing oil cap, but I won't pose hard enough with the badge on the cover itself. But the spark plug cover is a different story. lol
Ive talked to you on here before, I used to live in gadsden. I dont even have a facebook lol
as i've stated before, ive been going to school for the past 2 years in a collision repair/auto body tech program at my local vocational school and im now fully s/p2 chemical safety certified and fully ASE certifies, so i feel comfortable in saying im a welder, painter, body man, basically anything that involves auto body, i've probably learned it. and with that being said, if people knew how much work went into painting and body work in general, i think people would get a much greater appreciation for the whole auto body and auto painting industry. i recently went on a school trip to PPG, let me tell you, some high tech and very respectable and very nice equipment and products they produce.
No. I know it looks silly but that's exactly how the J's racing ones are. No machined letters just painted.
I don't get out to many local meets. I don't really care for some of the people since there are just so many noobs. Really it's just so I don't get badgered by a lot people because I work on a fleet of honda's already.
That's cool man. I just don't really care for PPG as a whole. I've used many of their products. I like some of their clears a lot and K36 primer is ok. But their paint system is s**t. Keep at it and you too can prevent forest fires. lol
hahah thanks bro, yeah we took a trip to PPG to as my instructor would say "see how much free s**t we can take!" we use Nexa AutoColor in my shop. what system so you use?
Dupont. The shop I used to work at used Sherwin Williams. But I use Dupont aircraft paint most all the time now.
Well I really didn't do much this weekend. I put on a Jackson racing supercharger on my friends gsr em1 yesterday and minecraft on my 360 is taking up a little bit of my time lol. So I just got a little bit of sanding and buffing done today.
Here's the rear hatch. This time all nice and perfectly buffed. Didn't have to do much. Just nibbed it and 3k'd the entire thing. Easy work on that.
And the second hood. It took a little longer since I had to sand it all down and buff it a redundant amount of times to ensure no die back and a perfect shine.
Hopefully I'll get something done soon.

Well I spend more time fixing them than enjoying it lol. Maybe I can enjoy it when I'm closer to it being done.i think i spend more time trying to find imperfections than i do just enjoying this build since its soo damn clean.
Well I haven't really posted any progress in a while. I've been working on it but haven't had the time to get on the computer for long enough to make a good post.
Well here's last Saturday's progress and some I did today. Basically just buffing and assembly. It's been the best part of it since it's like a big puzzle.
Hatch all nice and assembled.
Buffing little pieces
Sanded down quarter panel and got her buffed
New hardware in the fuel door.
some assembly
New ITR shift boot installed
rear bumper and absorber installed
Lookin at that bottom
Installing hatch and lining it up
Well another day and there will be a little more to look at.
