Paint

Some color finally!

March 2010

March has been a very active month for the project. All the front suspension has been removed and the front end is again sitting on the dolly. I've also just finished removing all the dash trim and wiring. All the jams have been sprayed as well as the underside of the hood and trunk lid. Things are starting to take shape as far as the body/paint is concerned. Subframe connectors are installed. The next step is to get all the body back together and paint.

Engine was also worked on this month. Had to order thermostat & housing, wires and loom, filters and fluid to get it on the dyno. Found that the drivers side header is hitting the pan so for time being we opted for a flange and gasket to use as a spacer for now just to get the dyno runs finished. Getting to see my engine, that has cost waaay more than I ever expected and has sat sooo long is just a great thing.

So next on the "To Do" list is going to be cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. All front suspension parts need to be cleaned and touched up. The trans needs to be cleaned and painted. The wheels too. Have to get everything in order because soon it's going to be time to start assembly.

Body/Paint prep

Will these colors look right?

I helped out a little by removing all the excess RTV that was on the back side of hood.
