Just noticed the interior shots, are you going to put in shoulder belts?

 

[narzy]

nice NF, you did read the application temp on the primer you used right? some don't adhere well above 80* and are reccommended for 75=<

 

[Evadman]

Looks pretty good. Did you do it all in the street? only 200 more sq feet to go!

 

[notfred]

Primer says to use it between 68 and 92, and I've generally had better luck with paint when it's warmer so I think it'll be ok. I don't plan on putting shoulder belts in it, I was jsut going to redo it like it was stock. Yeah, Idod the whole thing parked out there on the street.

200 more square feet... ugh.

I honestly have no idea how fast your sentra is.

110 HP mated to a low-weight chassis with tires optimized for minimal (read: little drag) to the road and a stock (read: racing quality) 5 speed transmission. It doesn't take all that long to break 100 in it. Ok it takes a while but it will go a good bit over 100 110 is something else entirely though.

It will when it is done!

 

[notfred]

I dunno, the truck has a 390ci big block. It makes something like 260hp and 375ft/lbs of torque, and it and will pull up hills better than, well, most anything else on the hill. I'd be afraid to try and drive it 110.

mmm I wouldn't be so sure. The sentra has a new oil change and the engine is so lubed the damn pistons are firing with the engine turned off. I'm inside and they're still turning.
