In the state of NJ you are not require to go through the mandatory inspection station so I can have custom exhaust, blackout lights and dark tinted glass whereas normally they wouldn't pass inspection.Only drawback is you are limited on mileage (1500mi/yr). and cannot use it for your daily driver (you must have another car). All that is required is you going to the inspection facility and they verify mileage. How they do that is,
inspector records miles on the car and you drive around block and they verify that the mileage was recorded on the odometer and you don't have more then 1500 than last year/

Gotcha. There are no inspection stations in KY so it's not a problem here.

[quote=reefland;5185865]Right now I am just using Krylon primer (rattle can) so I can protect the surface and see imperfections as I go.



What are you planning to use for paint? just asking since I think you will want to use a sealer on the car before you lay down paint. I would hate to se you end up with any shrink or sink areas due to the rattle can primmer.

Hey 91,

I'm not really sure, my brother is the painter (amateur) in the family. What recommendations do you have for primer, sealer, paint and clear?

I am a Dupont only shop, used PPG for years but switched to Dupont about 5 years ago. I use their epoxt primmer and high build primmer, than seal and base coat clear coat the car. I like to let the sealer set in the heat for a day or two than tach it and lay down my color

Hey reefland - just stumbled across your thread today - excellent work! I was wondering how close to original the new upholstery is. I was planning to replace my upholstery and foam but I can't stand the idea of having the seats looking anything but original.
