after jim had everything up here for his swap a few weeks ago, he found a set of 205 riser blocks from the same guy he got his clip from, so he snagged them up, and sent them up for me to shave the GT-4 off, and paint.
here are some pics. first, i filled the gt4 writing with "marglass" fiberglass reinforced body filler.  once that was sanded:  then, went over that with some chromalite body filler and sanded it out:  then primer, sealer, basecoat, clearcoat.

great job manny. i got a Q though.
i was told if you spray the clear right after there is a risk of the clear peeling off really fast??? true or false or does it depend on the type of paint used. i was told to wait a minimum of 5 days after base spray date to put the clear on  but i never got around to doing the clear yet because i wanted my gold pearl in

Those look awesome, im glad I decided to shave and paint them, came out better than I expected, really looks sharp. I cant wait to see them on the car, it will really finish off the cars exterior, the wing was a little lacking. And this weekend we will finally be able to get a pump in the car and get her to the dyno. Plus the fun of having a boosted car that you can finally boost!! I CANT WAIT FOR THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!! Looks great MANNY!

QUOTE (14:19:21) Daniel: That was a JDM hole in the side of the box too. There was so much JDM trapped inside that box that they couldn't contain it, so they had to put a JDM hole in the box to let the JDM out.

I think I'm the only one who embraced the gt-four wiring.
Either that or I'm just a ricer. As always, great work bro. You really need to open up a shop. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
