    Went to kyle's last week to check on the CB, its coming along quite nicely!







    Also started working on some of the detail pieces, I bought some semi-gloss black engine paint that I am very pleased with the finish of. I will be using it on several pieces throughout the bay, the biggest piece of which is the engine block and tranny themselves.





    I cleaned up the block in more ways than one. It was VERY dirty and took several days to clean. I also saw a couple nasty seams of casting flash and unnecessary extrusions that were sharp and not very good to look at. About an hour with a dremel and some small files and the block looks way better. Above is the main ugliness I did not like.

    And gone!



    This is where I finished for the day, with the block primed with 2 coats of primer.

    Stay tuned for more!

                    Lol when I bought it, the guy said it had a bent rod, but when I was taking it apart to get it cleaned up and rebuilt, I found that bent rod had actually snapped in half. The bottom half if the rod had hit the block so hard a corner of the block came off in my hands when I took off the oil pan. I wasn't too mad though, I only paid $100 for it and got a ton if extra parts. I actually traded the head off that motor for my f22 I'm dropping in.

                            Thanks guys, unfortunately I haven't gotten any work done except pull the front suspension off and continue stripping out the old undercoat in the front wheel wells. I am waiting on the last of my brake fittings to start on the tuck, which must be done before anything else. In the mean time, I'm continuing with my engine harness.

                            I did get a couple good pictures of kyle's awesome paint work for you guys:
