95riosnake Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Loving it man! I can tell there are some worn out fingers that led to that picture! I need to go all out like that sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 So figured I'd give some more backing to this update! I was excited about color so I jumped the gun on it. Decided for ease of tape off I'd remove the ac codensor and disassemble most of the ABS module. I'd get a delete block but I don't feel like messing with it st the moment so disassembly it it.Sanded down the whole bay with 400, followed by 600 wet sand, and then sprayed two light coats of sealer all the surfaces. Idk what exactly it does but @whiplash437 said to do it and I think it helps with the glossiness of the base coat.Another picture of the inner fender. Glad I did this first as it helped to learn a bit of how the paint acted. Light coats are definitely a must since the metallic can get heavy and run if you aren't careful or go too heavy on the paint. Going to do the other inner fender and then finally the bay last. For going putting effort into the inner fenders and just putting a seal coat of clear on it so it has a little more protection.And in lieu of the intake issue, I picked up a spare manifold from @Drake and sure enough, the issue is entirely the fault of the super victor intake. I was just going to get it milled more to fit but stumbled across this beauty first.Its been on motor and ran so I have much more confidence that it'll fit. Its only seen dyno time so if it doesn't work, I'll return this one and just get my Powdercoated one milles to fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like someone was using it as a jacking point -__- yupp spray can clear. It's Eastwood 2k clear coat. It has an activator in it that you have to do before you spray it.

Det_Riot Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 you will need both i betLol I hope not. I gotta take some measurements when I start messing with the trailer putting the winch on. I've got wood ramps that I use just to get a jack under it and that could be a quality template to start with. Biggest issue is going to be weight of ramp extensions lol I should just say fuck buying a house and buy an airbagged trailer with my down payment I've saved up ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
