Got the Last 3 coats of clear done about 2 hours ago. So glad the engine bay work is pretty much complete besides putting everything back together. This was my first time doing all the bodywork and painting all together and I'm pretty damn proud of how it came out.



Also got to put the motor together. Now just waiting until the end of the month bonus to order my clutch from InlinePRO. Seen one seen em all

 

Looks really good man.

 

wow! That looks great. I have been following this build and i am really impressed so far. Can'twait to see the finished product.

 

Thanks for the compliments. To be honest I was supposed to have a friend help me on all of the bay but he ended up bullshittin me so I said what the hell, so I took a chance and I'm really pleased with the outcome. I can't wait to get her back together.

 

Paint/Body work is beautiful. Good job!

 

just curious why you opted to put the head on without putting the lower timing cover on first? dont you have to apply hondabond there so it wont leak?

 

Yeah hondabond is needed at the top of the timing cover where it meets the head. To tell you the truth I had put the motor together and then while I was putting the cam angle plate on for kpro I thought I screwed up on the timing mark at the crank so I took the case off to find out that I had it dead on! Hopefully it doesn't leak. It will be a good while before I find out if it's going to though.
I hope to have it running by next summer with a new rear end setup, just not sure which one yet.

 

NICE WORK!

Its been a little while since i updated this. I've been saving up for some things. I have my twin disc on the way so that i can get the motor/trans back in. Also have the 2 bosch 044 pumps on the way and finished up the brake lines and wiring. I have some shots of the brake line tuck. Not the best bending techniques but I actually ran out of SS brake line so I had make do.

 

Those brake lines dont look too bad man. Although, on any of them that are touching some other piece of metal or another tube, you should cut some rubber hose and but it on the tube to keep it from chafing from vibration and possibly ruining your day if they were to wear a hole and you lose pressure.
