Unfortunately I have to work fast. I have torn tendons in my left elbow and go under the knife on Nov 23rd. It will be 4 months before I will be able to use my left arm. The VX is going, I hope, to be my transportation while I am out of commission. I hope to get the motor and tranny back next week and build out the front suspension after that. I am running out of time fast.![]()
WOW.....that's about all I can say. It looks fantastic.![]()

I seriously wish I could put as much time into my VX as you do. Hopefully it will look as good as your stuff has turned out tooI am very envious of the pace you have been able to maintain on your project. I am also very interested in that paint you are using. I have some rust bullet and POR15 I need to use up, but I think I'm going to look into getting some of the stuff you used too. Looks great!
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.
Here is the web site of Master Seriers Coatings. It works great and has a very reasonable price.

I didn't get much done this weekend due to waiting on parts. I did, however, extract the broken transmission cross member bolts. Getting these out is my last rust hurtle. Now it is just assembling clean and purdy parts... I hope.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, my wife is the best. I kept whining about needing a torch to get the broken bolts out. I tried renting one and then borrowing one with no luck. So, look what found its way to my garage of MY VERY OWN today......
Making getting bolts out sooooo easy......
Lower control arms installed....
