Just Kidding
Ricky Bobby called me late this afternoon to inform me that my head was finished and ready to be picked up! Tomorrow after school I will be heading downtown to pick both heads up. Hopefully my little tC can hold the weight of the two heads plus my dual 10" sub box :evil2...
There are about 5 places to stay right around this place. They are all in decent shape but do not stay at the motel 6 on hwy 6 and 1-10 its ancient and nasty. But the one you posted along with a few others are fairly newish and nicer kept. There is a La Quinta 2 hotels down from this one also.
Thanks. Yea I was originally going to paint a lot of parts black but I have found silver to have a better finished look and it's growing on me! I'm worried about painting the mainfolds and 3000 pipe so I may just spit shine them to as new as possible!
Saturday I should have major progress...
Thanks God I'm getting my 7mgte head back this week. It better hurry up before I paint the whole damn car! I've found painting to be a good pass time while your waiting for parts to come.:naughty:
Painted my nasty looking thermostat housing. Working on getting all new sensors to put in it...
Well the mechanic guy from my dad's work that helped me take the engine out is coming over this Saturday to help me assemble. My dad thought we would have it all assembled then but I told him there is no need to rush that fast. I wanna make sure things are right! We should at least have the head...
Finished! Going to let them dry over night to see if I need to touch up anything. Should I apply a clear coat over them to protect the paint job or no?
So I'm painting tonight and having a few beers! Here's whats happening.
After Primer I used duplicolor aluminum engine enamel.
Oh while I'm taking pictures I thought I should throw this one in!:evil2:
So then I masked the sides of the stripes and very carefully hand painted...
Do they sell it at Home Depot? I don't wanna make a special trip to the auto store but I think I might have to. Should have gotten primer while I was there today!
