did you dip that practice piece in water? be careful with real stuff, it forms instant tiny rust, but other then that it looks great, keep practicing, its very easy to pick up!

kunt_masha · 12-21-2011, 11:58 PM

Didnt dip it, thats just from not cleaning the metal before lol

Literally spent 10 mins in the garage and then got hungry.

You will be amazed with how much you can now do yourself with a welder. I sure am.

OBEEWON · 12-22-2011, 10:41 AM

Guess I found my new fabricator!

Reese · 12-22-2011, 11:20 AM

It was on but way too low... I did some research so my next effort should be better

9.

I was really lazy all weekend and just ate food, drank beer, and did redneck things with family

Turner delivery

wheel bearings... exciting!

some gaskets

quick shot at the control center... added a reminder to the steering wheel

SoStock92 · 12-26-2011, 10:28 PM

Mmmm E30 rear bearings, F U N.

kunt_masha · 12-26-2011, 11:04 PM

yeaaaa not looking forward to it

The bearings are still good but I dont think I can pull the hub without destroying them

boostedfury · 12-27-2011, 12:23 PM

I like the steering wheel reminder haha

foxracr10 · 12-29-2011, 10:51 PM

Kunt_Masha buy bigger wheels.. these ones are the size of your peen... tiny!!

djb5118 · 12-29-2011, 11:29 PM

Ob, I would have just given you my SC if you'd have asked!

But maybe not...

kunt_masha · 01-02-2012, 09:25 PM

10.

VAC head is almost done so the motor will finally be ready to assemble

in the mean time I worked on my bay a bit more... shaved everything, stitched most of it, started on the bondo work

Started on the hood.. Dont worry, this is a rough outline but you get the idea. Heat extractor ducts on both sides.

Black door cards

kunt_masha · 01-04-2012, 02:04 PM

anyone have advice on primer / paint for the engine bay???

I want something heavy so it hides imperfections and can take some abuse.

c7scayman · 01-04-2012, 02:37 PM

What about that rough black paint used on the beds of pick up trucks? I don't know how good it is with engine heat, but it is tough and hides dirt and imperfections.

honder · 01-04-2012, 03:49 PM

rhino liner! just googled it. its been done on bays before.

No effing way am I using Rhino Liner!!

I spent way too much time shaving and smoothing this bay to spray on some shatty stucco. Rhino Liner is OB's thing... he loves that ish

kunt_masha · 01-04-2012, 04:01 PM

Might use POR15.... stuff looks pretty good and I like the application process

Anyone have experience with it?

Lots of silverado guys use it on their frames and underbody they say it works great.

automotive epoxy primer works, comes in black white and a few other colors, sometimes its even tintable, is a primer, but holds up to elements unlike other primers, and has a somewhat rubbery texture, but can be sanded down smooth if you ever wanted to paint
