To do a pearl job right you need to spray all the panels together as if they where on the car, otherwise the paint won't settle the same, the pearl won't reflect the same off each panel and can look patchy sometimes.

Man, you can't even wait until the car is finished before you start complaining about it's fit and finish. Lets see some pictures of your great talent.

I am sure Mark knows what he is doing.
the paint looks great and I am sure Troy has a show winner on his hands.
I can't wait to see this car thgether. I want to see Troy do a big smoky burnout threw Archie's parking lot to leave his mark!
HA HA!

You're reading way too much into his comment. As I read it (and I'm sure others did as well), he made a general comment in regards to pearl paint jobs. No where did he say, "You're doing it wrong." He only suggested painting all of the panels at once to get an even spread of pearl. Nothing more, nothing less. Would you have accepted the comment easier of Roger or someone else made it?

You've defended so many bashing threads that your defenses are on auto-pilot.

Mark's doing a fine job and I'm sure his skin isn't so thin that he can't read a few constructive comments. In my opinion (not that it matters ) There was nothing negative in the post from jmbishop.

Mark...please continue with the picture show. We can't wait to see this car come together.

Seriously, this forum has dropped a couple notches in the maturity level. The stuff I see happening here was happening 6 years ago on Honda forums. Its sad when a person can't voice an opinion at all. There was nothing negative stated above....its clearly a fact of the job. When spraying pearl body panels need to be in close proximity. We all need to take a chill pill and enjoy the work Mark is doing. This is one of the reasons I rarely post anymore, why can't we all just play nice?

And when it comes to calling people out on talent, its not such a good idea, they may surprise you. Remember that! I'm 21 and I surprised a few people.

Now lets all enjoy Troy's car.

that color looks very close to my friends RX7. i think its a tangerine pearl HOK color. looks very very sharp!

Now since that's cleared, how about some pictures. I've been in the trash can all day and now I need some thing clean to look at.


While your at it, can resize them and make them bigger?

Page 3?

I don't think so, to the top.

More pictures...less talking...

C'mon Mark pony up with some pic's

Hey Mark, Time for a weekly update .

While we wait I have a funny story : I tell my wife that I must go on a crash diet, and she replies : is it because of your heart condition? I reply no. Is it because your going to listen to your doctor? I reply no. Is it because of your high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, I reply no. She finally says, I give up why?

first I show her this :







I then show her a thread on PFF with this link:

I am happy to drive it around for you until you lose the weight.

VDI universal kit installed by Archie. the kit was 600.00 shipping included

Note price was cheap due to a large number of leftovers from a nope show

We all have to have our prioritys!
thats funny!
I cant wait to see the car back together.

I was just curious if you did anything under the front hood to clear that extreem extractor?
I purchased one and am running into things trying to mount it lol

Pics would be nice

I don't have any pics but you will have to modify the front trunk front wall. FYI The hood extractor has a major flaw, the left and right sides are not the same, it's hard to see untill you install it on to the car.

Im glad to hear that my extractor scoop wasnt the only one like that! I noticed it the day it got to me! Did Archies crew fix it? If so, how? I still have yet to install mine. By the way, Archie posed pics on page 2 of this thread.

Archies crew fixed it the seconde time around . He would have to tell you how.

Troy, what are your expectations of this car when it's done?

quote Originally posted by Erik: Troy, what are your expectations of this car when it's done?

Wow Erik that's a broad question, I expect to have as much fun with this car as I did with my favorite HOTWHEELS and TONKA toys . Seriously Erik I will not know the answer to your question until I drive it hard for a couple of days. The car will either get a thumbs up and go into the toybox or get a thumb down and make room for the next project next summer... a Chrysler Prowler with a Tricked out HEMI.

Hmm, well i guess ill keep my eyes out mabey some one will take a pic or two

I noticed its a little un even but i like it alot

I was going to go with a HUGE scoop but id have to cut into things, the whole point is functionality and if i remove some functional structures well, i didnt do that good of a job then lol

Two weeks and no new pics or updates???

We know your busy and all but feed us a bone or two....

Ok, waiting for pics to upload now...

Lets all give him a negative for no updates!

Everything is going good. I'm dropping by Archie's shop later this morning to pick up the deck lid and get that finished up and ready to spray and my schedule says that the car gets competely painted next weekend.
