<>Roadster Show Mazda<> 86 B2200 rebuild update 3/4/13

I might have asked to know what it was but not real sure I have had this same color picked out for about 3 1/2 years now any time i see something that i like i ask about it, and looking at the pics i know i have seen it before but not real sure, and if i did ask i dont remember what was all said. Mine is just a factory color 100%, I didnt even modify the mix one little bit. just expensive PPG paint.

Looks good. I have had mine painted for about 5yrs now and it was not modified maybe I worded that wrong. It is originally a PPG Color off a stock sports car. I just gave tips on spraying it to a few people. Very tough color and does not spray like normal, coverage is very poor. Expensive as hell and has the probably the highest satin pearl count of a stock car. Will the truck be a single all Blue or 2-tone?

The outside of it as of right now will be all blue, but with all the other paint jobs i have done untill it rolls out of the booth i have no idea, And the frame is a roller now well for the most part, I have to hook up the steering and put the rear end and axles back in. pics later tonight or tomorrow

well this is about all the pics for now

How much camber you gonna get out of the rear wheels?

-Josh

The camber on the rear wheels is kinda funny when it is down they are pretty staight but as it airs up and gets to the top of the travel it gets a bunch of negitive camber. which is good for driveing low. ill get some pics of it up and down

I am glad to see "someone else" finish that frame and put it under a truck rather than that thief Garrick. I have a few pics of it from when a buddy of mine and I built that frame. The good part about the camber and toe, it is fully adjustable for what ever ride height you want to ride at. The camber that you are seeing is what a factory tbird IRS will do when lifted. The rear suspension is set up exactly like a tbird IRS specs just tubular rather than the nasty factory cradle. It is narrower than a factory tbird IRS, we narrowed it by moving the mounting points in and not messing with the arm lenth to help with camber. If we had narrowed the arms it would have cambered like a bitch and it would not have been pretty at all. But that frame was built as a close copy of mine just without a few things. But I did redo some things on the rear of mine that I decided to change afterwards to help with the camber and some of the toe. Keep me updated on it as I want to see how it all turns out.

That's looking clean man.

Nice color combo too.

I heard about that awile back, a shame. Great job though on the build.

I figured John would chime in some time. April is a bad month for me a ton of family birthdays (including my wifes) and my wedding anny. so it doesnt leave a lot of time for the truck. but i did get the motor in and the trany painted. it will be going to its first show (MD show in Boise) on the 16th just as the frame. I did get my stuff from Grant. (Thanks Zac) But enough with talk heres pics





Dont mind the masking tape install i was board and it was a good place to keep them from getting messed up


one out side in the sun just to see how bright it all was
