M2-Motoring Sonic build and rebuild

[M2-Motoring]

@rdss bingo! I don't trailer cars all that often, nor do i have a place to park a trailer. My HOA in my neighborhood doesnt allow trailers to part on the street overnight.

I only trailer maybe 5-6 times a year and thats usually for cars coming up from los angeles for sema right after the body shop is done painting the cars. other than that I love driving the cars =)

I normally borrow a friends enclosed hauler but it was out of town for nhra related stuff =)

Ok fair enough.......

^ didnt mean it in any negative way towards you. it's a bit different here in vegas than PA. know what i mean?

Ya I keep forgetting I live in a totally different area then most of you. In a city I see why you don't have one. It's really a bigger pain then what it's worth.

here's an update pic. almost ready for primer.


apologize for the lack of updates on the build, been crazy hectic at my new 9-5 (70 hr weeks yikes!). But things are getting settled in and into a routine.

This was all done today. Will be getting primered and then blocked down next saturday and be into paint the following saturday =)

what color is it going?

 

[M2-Motoring]

something real simple and clean =) you'll see in two weeks

 

[M2-Motoring]

hmm this has taken a bit longer than expected. as we layed down the first layer of primer, we really began to see a lot of high and low spots from the soda blasting. So after primer 2 weeks ago we began to resand the entire vehicle again and layed down a new layer of primer and guide coat. Here's a pic as of this past saturday.

Excited to see more updates.

Sorry for lack of updates. A lot of progress has been made, but pictures don't explain a thing lol. The crew and i have been at it prepping the vehicle for paint, and it looks like it will indeed be sprayed this coming weekend. Yesterday we test fitted the megan racing cat back exhaust prototype. Easy to say I like it a lot lol.

here's a pic of the car going on the lift, i'll get more pics of the exhaust install later on.
