Miata Drivetrain in a SAAB 96
#201
Wow crazy thread! Can't believe I didn't see this sooner! I did a feature on a 93F and 96 a few months ago and these cars are really something to see in person. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Yes. I wish I would have taken his suggestion and went with the black which was an option. He said it's so tough I could have left it bare in the fenderwells and underneath. I'll still do it but it would have looked better black.

Some progress pics. It's been slow going as I've never done this before and I have pretty much passed on the DA in favor of block sanding everything. Slower, but waviness is pretty much nil. I've taken it as a challenge because my friend who is part owner at the shop that painted my V8 Miata and has been in bodywork for 30 years said that it would be wavy my first time.

It is a two part epoxy but not sure of the brand. It's an industrial epoxy that the sandblaster uses. Not specifically automotive but it's what he uses for everything including autos. It laid down great and my painter really liked it.

I love these:
I have some shorter ones and the metal stiffener rods for them along with some rolls of adhesive backed coarse paper (I forge what grit).
You have any interest in them?
