[drddan]

how much material is available above the rivits on the friction surface?

.045 on both sides. Hmmm. Is that good or bad?

Spray bomb the bay black. It matches any color and hides wires

Looking good, little tip for future reference.. aluminum foil works great for masking off odd shaped things for painting, such as all the parts in the bay you don't want painted.

Thanks!
Yes! Used foil many times. As for my bay, a little paint on some wires wont hurt. I have most wires bungee'd up out of the way, the rest...who cares! :p

I made sure not to coat any connectors

That will be one tough looking Festy!

What color scheme are you gonna do?

My hood is painted dark gray...the rear spoiler's going to match the hood.


The rest of the car is going to be a shade of blue real close to GeorgeB's, maybe a tad darker.


The engine bay will have to stay red for a long while.

Lookin' Good!

What should we paint our M/Cs and boosters with? Epoxy paint? Caliper paint?

They dont get hot, any paint will work. 90% of a paint job is in the prep.
I use Rustoleum. I compared Rustoleum vs Krylon over the years, and I just dont like Krylon. It isnt as shiny, and doesnt seem as tough. Just me.

What color scheme are you gonna do?

Looking forward to the pictures. If you have transportation, take your time and do it like you want. I know its gonna be nice.... :thumbright:

Oh, I am taking my time. Rushing creates more problems, and I have enough of those already.

[drddan]

Okay...I now have an Image Shack account. Lets see if it will work for me

If it does this should be a pic of my sandblasted exhaust manifold
