I would suggest you think about a side business - NSX restoration to factory new. Based on what you've done to your car I'm sure many NSX owner will track you down :smile:
Why not powder coat the parts (that can be powder coated) to whatever color you desire instead of cleaning them? It's always a better finish than paint.

Well, I had an interesting turn of events. I sent off the front and rear bumper support beams (the large black things) to get stripped down and repainted, and the body shop called me and said there was rust on the rear beam that when they started working on it parts of the beam just crumbled! YIKES! So now I have to get a new one of those, or find a mint condition used one.

Spray, let it sit for a few mins then scrub a little w/ a brush and rinse off.

Hey Meeyatch any updates?
This project seems completely appropriate to me. A while back I got into a fender bender with an old Ford pickup. By the time I finished “fixing” the fender it became a complete frame off restoration. 18 months later the only original parts were the cab and hood.
Keep up the good work.
Your such a busy nsxer, from Detroit show(thanks for that btw) to your own project. Foru is great cause of people like you.

While you have the car up in the air and torn apart, may I suggest you remove those rusty old iron manifolds and replace with a set of NA2 exhaust manifolds?
That alone should net you 10hp 10ftlb.
Do you have some?
how about getting the newer aluminum rear bumper beams?
those I do have... btw - my bumper bears are steel - jdm or the alumonum na 2 or "newer version"
I dont think you ever replyed to that
Nice work again man
You rock Mitch! Excellent work my friend! :smile:
This is turning into a very sensuous project … as in, sensuous at it, replace the bumper beam; sensuous at it, get new manifolds ….
Seriously, I need to do something like this, too. Great work!
Wow, that's impressive.
More pics of progress!! This is exciting to watch.
