Re: 72 Javelin
thanks, aussie muscle and Mr. Speed, getting a compliment from anyone on your car is rewarding, but from Australia is just cool! Thanks.

Dude great to see it in action ! Thanks for sharing.
The chain in those handcuffs is high-tensile steel, it'll take you ten minutes to hack through it with this, now if your lucky ? you can hack through your ankle in five minutes. Go !
Re: 72 Javelin
Well, ive been having fun driving it, i had
a leak on the intake manifold so i had to tear
back into the motor, also gathering pieces to make
blower pulley spin.. seems to be the number one
question with people.

Re: 72 Javelin
Do you have plans to fill in the rear spoiler ends to blend them in with the contours of your car?
Re: 72 Javelin
someday, im not a big fan of bondo, fiberglass maybe,? id also like to put the small scoops on the hood and get a better looking roof spoiler.

Re: 72 Javelin
Bondo makes a bondo/fiberglass matting mix that you can use bondo's catalyst with, you may be able to use fiberglass resin's catalyst just the same(I havent experimented with that). I'm not quite there with my auto body skill set, so I can understand some hesitation to do it.
I have been reading the Interceptor builds because I have plans for making my own one day (I get a house first; which is coming very close; then I get the base car) and I'd certainly make sure the spoilers are blended before I'd call the body work done. Your Javelin is one of my favorites because the base car is so awesome and is why I'm leaning towards a Javelin. Hell, me just wanting a Javelin to have one comes from your build.

WOW this pic looks like a dated version of the interceptor, like the ones at the silverton hotel, great stuff materustycarr wrote:Well, ive been having fun driving it, i had
