yeah, all im waiting for is that parts car.
in the mean time, im debating on whether or not to say screw the side trim and just bondo the holes (it'd be unique)
the honda hood emblem holes are getting bondo'd
car will go under sanding and primer this week. the plastic trims will get sanded and painted as well. the rims (i got bored) used some black high heat paint. (looks like crap)
i'm going to find something along the lines of what wagodizzle has but in black not pink. cars gonna be like the bat mobile, black on black, 25% tint. etc.
help me decide, tinted tails or oem?
keep your tinted tails.
there has been a wagon done with side-trim delete, and with the theme you were going with it would look cool
and you know you want pink
haha martin, im not down with pink. it looks good with white but it wouldn't with black.
are there any pictures lurking around with the side trim deleted?
would i just use bondo for those holes?
yeah, right above the wheel? well kind of beside it?
i mean, the entire car is going to be black, bumpers, etc. all painted.
tinted tails, tinted corners. and 25% tint on the windows.
it's going to be invisible at night.
DO IT!!
go ahead and lose the trim. That was the hardest part of my rebuild was locating all the clips and stuff to put everything back on. (thanks again Bam-Bam)
If you have access to a torch, replace all the holes with metal. Get rid of all the emblems and trim and anything else that might leave an opening for rust in the future. you won't regret it
the only emblem i'm leaving is the one on the hood.
i'm deleting all of the trim and the rear wiper.
Plus they make custom decals in any size or color!
other then that, it'll be blank.
ahhh i sometimes wonder what my wagon would look like without my forenzic collection of vinyl..
i think blank looks good.
i always laugh at the amount of signage put on by automanufacturers. And then people go out and actually pay good money to get personalized plates that say something goofy like "Mustang" or "MySatrn"
im going to buy 5 cans of primer from autozone tomorrow, sand the car down the best i can, grind down the areas where im bondoing.
bondo the hood emblem, and the side trim holes.
i'm not doing the hatch until i figure out whether or not im getting the parts car.
if i get the parts car, im just taking the hatch off rather then going through the hastle of removing the glass then putting it on my car etc.
haven't looked into it yet, ask martin (wagodizzle)
lemme know
they'll get made, if we really need them and by the end of my restore, if they arn't availble here. i have a friend who makes custom decals, stickers, and does design.
it wouldn't be hard for me to have them made. :]
like so:
