Needs another coat on the driver's side. Passenger side has two coats, that's done for now. The engine will need to be pulled back out after all the components for the turbos are fabbed for a final scuff and spray. Changes, bumps and scuffs are to be expected in that phase. As it stands, looks like an engine and transmission will be going in soon!
The last picture shown is of the wires and there's a spot that's unpainted. Well, I recently learned that tin foil is my answer. Someone on my Facebook was kind enough to fill me in. Also, for some of the people looking to do this... not all primer is the same. I'm using epoxy based primer here. Food for thought (possible). Happy New Years (eve)! https://mhi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://nri5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://nbi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://nxi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://nhi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ori5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://obi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://oxi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ohi5pa.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://mxjorg.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |

I went to PRI (Performance Race Industry) in December and had a conversation with Clear View Filtration. My buddy and I put in an order for a billet anodized remote see-in oil filter. Having the ability to see what's happening with the oil will comfort me a bit after spending so much time and money on my engine. Some of you guys might want to consider this as well:

Now that is pretty slick. :tup:
|
How many microns is the filter element?

Fixing a few rough areas. I simply wasn't happy with a couple things. What can I say, I'm picky 🤷. Should have it all cleaned up in short order.
If you scroll back earlier in the process, you will notice metal tabs that got hammered over. The tabs were welded, seam filled, and filled again with panel bond. It looked okay... but why not get it smoothed out while I'm in there already. The short strand fiberglass ended up drying hard as a rock. When I started sanding with my 100grit soft block, I was able to knock everything down quickly. A hard sanding block with 36/60/100 is needed to get this done correctly. I'll also need to get some skim coat Bondo to fill in pin holes. Folks at NAPA pretty much know me by name now. Good thing the store is right around the corner from Auto Dynamix (shop where I'm doing the work at). Lastly... The tags have me :bowrofl: https://nbjvjq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://orjvjq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://objvjq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://oxjvjq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ohjvjq.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://mxkelw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
Finally! Ready to drop the engine in tomorrow. Finished off the shock tower corners. Built up and knocked down 5 times and laid a few more coats of primer. I tip my hat to body shop people, this stuff is some work.
Very happy I was able to capture the body lines after I removed false firewall, beat over metal, scab welded, seam filled and filled with Bondo (build and knock down). Not bad for my first go at welding/body work. https://ap6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://az6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bj6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bp6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://a56kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://b56kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://cj6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://q52kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bz6kug.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://ap4llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://q50llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://az4llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bp4llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://bj4llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://a54llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://cj4llw.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none https://nbjaua.dm.files.1drv.com/y4m...&cropmode=none |
