The Miura project begins (Page 22/84) Archie AUG 21, 02:05 PM After blasting all the surface rust & dirt are gone & it's looking good already. After blasting all the dust is blown & washed out of the chassis out of the chassis. After the washing the chassis is put in one of the ovens to dry up any moisture..... All the treads & holes are plugged prior to doing the Powdercoating processes..... Time for a lunch break...... Archie AUG 21, 03:17 PM Continuing...... Next while the chassis is still on the fixture, they phosphate the chassis. In this picture they are getting ready to transfer the chassis from the rotisserie to the overhead rail system. Tim has an overhead rail system to make it easier to move heavy items from one area of his shop to another area. Here they're hooking it up to the overhead rail system....connecting hooks from overhead..... Unbolting from the rotisserie.... Here they're putting on the 1st coat of the powdercoating.... The 1st coat is on...... Here they're putting the chassis in the oven to Flash that 1st coat. Pretty big oven wouldn't you say? One of Tim's clients makes Kit Airplane kits that he sells worldwide. Tim Powdercoats the kit Airplane chassis' for them. In addition to tons of atuomotive parts he Powdercoats, he also has a client who rebuilds used exercize equipment & he Powdercoats a lot of that stuff too. Notice how the overhead rail system runs right into the oven. then the chassis is pulled out of the oven..... After cooling, it's back into the paint booth for the last coat of powdercoating..... Here the 2nd coat is put on..... Then back into oven for the final cure.... And here's what it looked like when they were getting ready to bring it back to us.... Next I'll show you pics of what it looked like out in the sunshine after we unloaded it. Archie Archie AUG 21, 04:52 PM In the next few days we'll put the suspension & wheels/tires on it & take it back outside for pics. again. Archie katatak AUG 21, 05:00 PM Seems a shame to cover up all that great work and powdercoating with some "old lambo" body panels....lol. Looks good Archie! xunedeinx AUG 21, 08:10 PM See-thru plexi-glass miura!!!! PLEASE! that powdercoat is so nice.

I like the job they did so well that from now, on major projects, on it's going to be hard not to do the whole chassis Powdercoating thing. Archie Archie AUG 29, 09:42 PM I thought I'd show you a few pics of the ROLLING chassis. This chassis will be one of the items on display at the V-8 Archie Open House on Sept. 6th part of the 2008 FieroRama Weekend. Archie xunedeinx AUG 29, 09:46 PM It isnt a rolling chassis unless theres a youtube of you ghost riding it down a nearby hill! Dizzixx AUG 30, 01:11 AM Gawd Damn!
