    Is your interior and engine bay rattle-canned or sprayed in a booth? I'm debating whether or not it's worth it to have mine sprayed
    Thank you. Engine bay is oem paint. Interior is sprayed gloss white. Definitely helps make the car look better built when you re paint after all your fab work. Also when you remove all the extra brackets, holes, etc and then paint, it just looks so much nicer. Plus no rusting. It is a whole lot of work to tape, prep, and paint the inside of a car. That's why lots of people don't do it. I threw some different pics up on the first page if any one is interestead.Thanks again, good luck with yours.

    gotcha. i bought a couple sheets of ABS to make door panels and cover my sunroof hole. i'm gonna use the scraps to make delete plugs for the radio and side air vents. guess i need to buy or borrow a table saw.

    what did you use to paint the cage and interior?
    I used rustoliums professional series, painted with a detail gun. It's hard to fit a full size paint gun in a caged car.

    Yep sure did, they are just ABS plastic, easy to cut to shape on a table saw. Good luck with your car.

    I'm not sure, I guess I have more fun building them than owning them. I don't have any of my old project cars.
