waiting on an order from AMES,figuired i would keep cleaning and painting today.Have had my hood latch asm soaking in a bucket of mineral spirits for a couple weeks.toothbrushes etc to clean then i blasted it today.

Horns are done as well.

Em's purdy. Couldn't get my horn to work on the GTO. The rumble say's get outta my way.

I want to put a train horn behind the grills lol

A buddy in high school was more than a bit of a lunatic. When his brother got married and we were driving around the old neighborhood between the wedding and the reception, he was driving a Chevette and the horn didn't work. So he just leaned out the window while yelling "HONK HONK! HONK HONK!" Somehow I picture JUSTA doing something similar. This coming from the guy who has a 25 cent slot in his dash JUSTA start his GTO too (I am not kidding either)

I want to put a train horn behind the grills lo

Now that would be cool to do, especially if you drove the car through a small town around 2-3 am that had no train tracks in it!

Nice work on the horns and the hood latch. Have you benched test the horns now that the paint is dry?

^{Just finished testing them! LOL}

hood spring was plasti coated!No wonder i couldnt blast it clean lol. glass blasted the cowl screens then painted using SEM.Love this stuff!Finally found a use for a tie hanger..

My paint booth LOL

Did it scare the crap out of the dog and the wife?

Frosty can you take some measurements off your core support? Just not sure where to weld the patch and don't want to do it wrong... I would think endura and mine should be the same?

^{Anyone following this thread,i am NOT sandblasting as i have misstated in this thread.I'm using glass beads.Purchased from harbor freight.Sorry for any confusion.sandblasting is to me a generic term.carry on.}

Leading us on, eh? Stone him!

Measurements from Frosty would be a plus. Since I've seen no pic's of the other side (assuming its fine) I would weld your patch in place, line up the good side with new mounting hardware in place on the frame and then holecut your patch as needed. I only had 2 of 8 body mounts that were attached to anything for a reference in replacing cross members and supports on the GTO project. Body went up and down marking and lining up each mount. Core support shouldn't be hard to mark N cut if you have a good side.

I agree Joe.

I have some questions for you that I sent in a PM.

Today I finally found the time to fix the core support.ended up putting it back on the car marking everything and taking measurements.

Done and done!
