Very nice fabrication on mid-engined CRX
No Locost, but look at the fabrication! Very neatly done.......
It somehow looks like they fill the welds, to smoothen them out. I don't have the feeling that they fillet braze everything together....

Exactly! We used an aluminum filler over the welds, then sanded that down. We followed with a kevlar-based body filler, then house of kolor
high-build primer.
My name is dusten. I am the site admin for 180customs.net. I see lots of traffic from your site, so I thought I'd check it out. I have a
supercharged BMW 318ti. I can try to answer quesitons about the CRX, although it is not my car. I just work on it.

Hi Dusten,
what's the current status of the CRX? I'd love to see more progress.

The status hasn't changed much in the last 12 months. We are in the process of moving into an actual building instead of working out of a 6 car
garage. The building was an old factory, so it needs some updating, and this of course requires permits and lots of time. We are installing a paint
booth and some kind of blaster to do media blasting.
We recently picked up a couple new project cars too. We have 2 gen 2 RX-7s, both are getting Nissan SR20DET motor swaps and will be used for
autocross and whatever else. We also picked up 2 1957 chevy belair (no posts) that we are turning into street rods. Think slammed with huge tubbed
out rear ends. We also have a 1954 chevy that just got the 5 inches cut out of the top.
Once the building prep gets settled, we'll start working on the cars again. I'll let you know when I have some updated pics!

This isn't the same brand we use, but I think it's the same.

Can you trim your avatar dusty?, it's shoving the writing off my monitor. It's o.k. I've blocked it now.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
