Got the bay primered and ready for paint should be painted this weekend

[dsmDolney]

Picked up a compressor and a couple guns going to tackle the paint job tomorrow cant wait till I can drive this thing again

[dsmDolney]

It is finally painted starting assembly tomarrow !! Not the best paint job ive done but sure looks a hell of alot better than before.

[mark4g63t]

Looks good, makes me want a red bay.

It looks great in the picture. Basically all the blemishes in my paint job disappeared once the engine bay was full again. No one will probably ever notice unless you point them out

[dsmDolney]

Thanks guys i will not point out a single thing lol let them find whats wrong. Im sure it will look much better with the motor in.

Looks great sir! Good job. I know how tedious engine bay painting can be. Just make sure to keep it clean. Use some wax in there to. Get a nice coat to make cleaning easier!

[dsmDolney]

will do and thank you !!

Try spreading the area where the pinch bolt squeezes, and lube it up, then it should slide on easy.
That's what your talking about right...? Where the column attaches to the rack won't slide on completely?

[dsmDolney]

I will try that tomorrow I gave up tonight already ha

[dsmreck]

Awesome man you should feel good about fixing the issues and making it look great.

[dsmDolney]

Thanks man i do feel good about not having to worry about strut rust any more for sure and nothing is better than fresh paint under the hood !

[dsmDolney]

got everything on and ready to go tomorrow to drop the motor in.

[dsmDolney]

Got work done today !! Everything is wired up and all bolts tight and torqued. Just have to put manifold and turbo and stuff on and fill fluids then it will run finally. Looks really clean also i love how it turbed out !!

[Fejery4491]

Looks great man! Bet you're excited to take her for a spin!

[dsmDolney]

Thanks man !! And you have no clue how excited i am to start it up !!!!
