After I scrubbed and scrubbed. I got alot of dirt off found that alot of the under coating was gone leaving a sub par look. So I endded up rattle caning it. The dodo juice ferrous dueller really attacked the build up on the caliper. Still need to work on the wheels. So more tomorrow!

Used OPC on the wheel well only used dodo on the caliper. The OPC cleans amazing I still have to put the wheel liner back in. Cant wait to attack the interior with it.

Awesome. Glad you are happy with it bud. It works great on the interior too.
 
As I was out in my garage. I happend to look at my sad and old PC7424 pre XP! I started to think I should get a new DA. Really want a Rupes seeing and hearing about them. But would a flex DA be a good step up or should I just drop the cash for the Rupes?

Don't think you can go wrong with either. I started off with a Flex 3401 a few years back before Rupes came out. But now I would also like to have a Rupes 21 and mini in my arsenal.
 
Got to work on the car with the wife today. Got my intercooler mounted and hot side plumbed.

I think you would be happy with either of them. They each have their own drawbacks, however. Of course, the upside to the Rupes is the long throw and the Flex is forced-rotation. You would just have to see which product would fit your needs the best. I'm sure others that own both or have used the machines would be better equipped (no pun intended) to help you.

I hope to help with the other product recommendations that you need as the build progresses. :)
 
Sorry for the lack of updates. The car has been at a friends fab shop. Waiting patiently to be worked on. Hopefully I will have it back in a couple of weeks.

worlds smallest update...My buddy sent me this picture yesterday
HiwlatT.jpg

. So I instantly grabbed my helmet ran out and jumped on my bike and hauled ass over to his house. By the time I got there he was finishing up and bolting on the final pipe..decided it was time to start the car...battery was dead:mad: so we grabbed his truck jumped it.. car ran! running lean as hell so we started tuning as we got the car warmed up. burning off oils and hand prints off of everything.
We where tuning away. trying to get the car to running better and become less lean.. we soon realized that my main fuel pump died and wasn't supplying the engine with enough fuel.. So we lifted the car back up on the lift found out that the oil drain pipe from the turbo blew a seal and left about a quart of oil on the ground.:wall:wall
So I jumped on the Internet this morning and ordered two new fuel pumps misc fuel line parts and a new o-ring. So 300 dollars later I hope to have a better update next weekend!
 
So I got a package today. Lots and lots of fuel related goodies. Hopefully I can get them in the car tomorrow.

A good update today! Got the car running and drving. Still tuning will be boosting about 8-10 lbs by the weekend. Currently at 5 pounds.

Cleaned wheels.

Then started to play with my drivers side rear panel.

As you can see the paint is highly oxidized. But sadly all I have at work is a 3m air da with 3" pads. So wont be doing the whole car today.

Too bad you can't wedge a 5.0 coyote motor in that thing with a shortened 9 inch and some tubs. I bet it would launch hard and wheel stand well past 60'
 
The build is coming along slower then expected. Recently switched jobs. Took a pay cut due to hours so I can detail more. I have been so busy with everything the car is last to get touched. Planning out my suspension at the moment. Debating between air ride or coil overs.

Also wouldn't be surprised if a coyote motor would fit. It's very popular to stuff a ls in there. Some turbo them. If I plan on keeping the car there will be a V8 in the engine bay. But that's a long time away.
