i actually just shot the engine bay with spray can primer. even though i have a whole gallon of primer/sealer and a new devilbliss spray gun sitting at home. but yeah, first was using bondo for body filler, but that sucked. ended up using rage body filler, its real smooth compared to the bondo... or at least for me. and just filled the small holes with that green 3m puddy stuff. i might just spray the engine bay with spray can gloss black... since its just the engine bay, when i plan to paint the car ill use the spray gun. |

Hmm, its actually a finish line 3. i probably wouldve saved to get a better gun, but this one was actually given to me for free brand new since my friend moved away. as for the product, its decently good for the price. my other friend had this same gun and the quality was not bad.

Very nice! Reminds me of when I was getting all the little things on my Wagon done! Sanding everything, painting with spray cans and making them look better than new! Engine bay paint... What I used was this "Truck Bed Liner" spray paint. It lays on thick and smooth, and has a "roughened" texture. I sprayed over it with a gloss black. Last week, I got brake fluid on it (paint+brake fluid=stripped paint!) and was VERY glad to see that the gloss black peeled off, but the bed liner paint stayed on there! It's really durable, and hasn't scratched at all since I tossed it on...
I'll get a picture of the can for you, as it turned out REALLY clean IMO. Great work so far, man, can't wait to see it going! It's cool that you two are working together! +1 |

Holy shit props on your build. I've been helping my friend do a coupe shell just as bad as this one since december. Building a car from the ground up is no easy task. +1 to anyone who's done so!

on the big island
anyways, didnt get much done today. fixed me landlords window yesterday, so free rent for the month. pretty much assembled the welder and tested it out made sure it was in working condition and nothing was wrong with it. took some measurements for the radiator support, probably cut out some of the lower rad support and weld in a new bar across... but that shall be next weekend... or actually maybe the weekend after, think im going to be doing something for easter. miller 140 autoset Last edited by jon_mr2; 03-26-2009 at 09:41 PM.. |

[quote=mizono;1903172]Chill. I don't mean to thread jack but have you seen this guy? He's in Oahu. I saw this car on the street last summer
i dont know if you know, but im sure you know because you said you saw it on the street, assuming youve been there that oahu is a different island. and to be honest, i havent been there i a few years... so yeah. might as well be like me asking you the same question, being your in cali, lol.
