I'm getting the firewall and subframe ready to paint. I've decided to replace the brake lines with a set from inline tube and I'm replacing my body mounts. The more I think about it, the more I lean towards taking the subframe completely off and cleaning everything correctly with a wire wheel. How do I make sure it's lined up correctly though if I do this?
Since these pictures have been taken the valve covers have been primed and painted blue as well. I found that without priming the engine with the VHT primer the paint would not stick. After figuring this out the painting process continued smoothly on the engines.
I tried painting the pulleys for my engine black since this, but it appeared that there was dirt in the paint!! I cleaned the gun several times by running thinner though it. No matter what I do it appears there is dirt in the paint. I even ran it though another gun! I don't know where this crap coulda came from. Could there be ceramic remnants in the gun from the eastwood paint?
I got my PUI pre-assembled door panels in the mail after being unable to find good condition plastic upper door rails to repair my existing door panels. I'm stoked about these. I have always considered door panels to be the crown jewel on any build.
