That's just awesome! What was the time frame from first picture to last?

 

[AdamInChains]

Thanks! It's about a 7 month span between the first and last pic.

THAT IS SWEET!

I personally would panic if my car was dissasembled to that degree, although...I`m gonna have to at some point.

Wasn't your car on the cover of Hot Rod a few months back, photoshopped into a different color?

You're in Torrance, I take it?

It's not so bad. Just practice telling people with a straight face -

"I had no idea it was possible to dissasemble this far, but it is. It's a LOT of parts."

The colors are Viper Blue Pearlesent and strips are Viper Silver Metalic

I am going to be taking a car apart to that extent (new full floor pan too).

Any tips?

Also, what kind of setup were you using for wheeling it around? (Just something you welded together, or did you buy it?)

Have fun puting it back together.

Be sure to bag and tag ALL parts nuts and bolts included, even if your going to replace them. If you don't have a digital camera, get one, take LOTS of pictures of everything as you go.

The dolley was just welded together by the shop that did the media blasting for me.

Heres the rear end that we're putting it. Kept the 8" but put an 3.55 Eaton True-Trac from Currie in the center. Powder coated the housing black. All stainless brake lines. Also had the calipers polished and powder coated a metallic silver.

Heres one of the front discs. Powder coated the front calipers same as rear, and powder coated the spindles black.

Very nice! Some day I will have to do the same thing... How much did it cost to media blast and primer epoxy?
