Yeah the 4G Eclipse metallic orange would look good too, or that lancer orange you just posted. Definitely good choices.

I liked his orange car, just not him. End of that subject

either orange is nice, you should look into the Dodge 2011 Toxic Orange too

edit: Blue8g, dodge just released a 2011 blackberry pearl too

X2! I miss him and the amount of knowledge he was able to provide the 6cyl and 8g platforms,

Anyway, I have a lot of work to do this weekend. Picked up primer to do the entire car and enough fiberglass/body filler to coat the entire car lol! Just need to get the shell out of the garage and start working on the new g. Should be fun, I guess.

I was reading from post 1 of this thread and saw the progression from original color of the G to TJ's Corvette Sunset Orange and the second I saw orange I said, EVO Rotor Glow Orange.

Forget all other colors, if you want to do orange, do the Rotor Glow Orange, and I'm not biased because I joined the Evo family, take a look at the Rotor Glow thread on EvolutionM, sick sick color!!

^I call bias :biggrin:

So I choose 2011 Dodge Toxic Orange for my bias :biggrin:

I was thinking Tj's orange was a little dark for my tastes. It looks great in the sunlight, but too red when the suns not on it.

I think the evo color would look great on my car.
I just need to get some one to photoshop that orange on for me now lol!

First thing I did when I went home was took some stuff I needed from the old G. I removed the engine from the new G, Swapped some of the old g parts on, Welded the old g's metal where the new G needed it =) , Cleaned out the engine bay and getting it ready for primer, removed the door panels, and took that damaged hood off.

I should be done in a month or so.

They work for me. Looks good keith, I get what the circled marks are, dents, but what are the squiggly(sp?) lines for? How often do you work on it?

lol.. I had to edit the pics a second time.

The squiggly's are where a reflection spot is not deflecting light properly. Going to use a very thin layer of body filler to help make it baby ass smooth lol.

I only have friday night to sunday afternoon to work on the g, every weekend. So basically I come inside for something to eat or to sleep at night. Every other second is spent outside in the garage.

oh ok lol. You do what I do, I work for the weekend to spend all day friday, sat, and part of sundays in the garage. Food is a must, lol but I can take a leak outside. I didn't get much down today lol 35 degrees in the garage with a fricken wood stove... -5 outside blah, and it was 65 degrees last tuesday! Hope you get it finished before a month though

Nice work! Have u thought of doing the 6G74 swap since you're pulling the motor out & selling you're 6G72? More potential there than the 6G72...

Yea lol exaaactly.. I hope it's finished before that too man. The cost of paint is killing its completion time, but it's what I really want.

I have four 6g72's now. I would be dumb not to keep boosting and building, imo.

IDK, the 74 just seems like a more plausible platform to upgrade with more power potential. If u sold all those 72's you'd have enough money to buy a 74, build & boost it probably. It bolts up without wiring harness/ECU mods IIRC, and will exceed your expectations of HP in contrast to the 72. The 72 has been boosted before, havent seen a boosted 74 on here yet. Just my opinion..

Here's the past 2 weekends progress (3/6). Rust is a Pain in the ASSS!!! I'm positive I got everything though and that's what counts.

http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z...306_160758.jpg

I drilled out the clutch pedal and wire holes, cut the jdm heads out of the radiator support. I'm just going to re-locate the battery while I've got everything apart.

This weekend will be fixing the rest of that rear quarter. I'm having line up issues with it right now but a few adjustments and I should have it. The only thing left is to do after the rear quarter is fixing dents around the car. I need to sand the car down and and prime it. I plan on painting/clearing the engine bay so I can put the engine/tranny in. Then I can move it to the other bay to spray the rest. If this weekends body fixing goes well, It should be smooth sailing from there.

This weekends progress 3/13

Inner fender pieces from the gold car =)

Thanks! I don't need the old style fogs. That's what's being put in the bumper. Still scratching my head on how I'm going to mount the projectors, but I'll figure something out.

Lol no kidding! Rust and no body line would have been harder to "fix". I plan on old style side skirts yes, but it will be painted first. Unfortunately I need the car to be on the road. I'll just end up painting the skirts later.
