Wow…it’s been a while! The proverbial life got in the way I guess. I have no excuse except to offer that The Gearhead has been working nights as of late and that just messes up all kinds of plans due to sleep deprivation. There used to be a time when I could run on 4 hours or so, but those days are long gone.
So, in between naps, here’s what we’ve accomplish in these last two weeks…we painted the front suspension and put it back together again. We have the first coat of paint in the engine bay too. Oh and our ordered parts all came in. Now they simply lie in wait until The Gearhead is ready to handle them.
That’s it!
Actually, there were lots of steps involved with painting the front suspension and the engine bay. This is high heat resistant paint so once you crack the can, you have to use it until it’s gone. There’s not putting the cap back on and finishing it up later. This stuff dries fast and hard. The front suspension got a couple coats of shiny black paint. The engine bay got one coat of bright white and then we ran out of paint. Next up is getting some more so we can finish that job and put the engine back in it. Then the front suspension goes on and we’re this close to starting her up!
I’ll get some pictures of the painting process posted here soon. And I promise to post more often henceforth!!
