Spray "Plasti Dip"

My first shot at using Plasti Dip in a spray can. Thought I would plastic coat the inside of my headlight buckets. Should work out great!

Short block

Took the bottom end in to Speed Shop in Harriman , Tn. And two days later Larry has the short block done! Quick!!
Dropped off the engine tin at ABJ Custom Powder Coating for a nice burgundy powder coat. Should look great.

Blitz black

Spray on, sand off...yes sense .
Of course I have a run. I'll fix it.

Fade to black

Phos ( navel jelly) treatment, then primer. Finally a coat of " blitz black". The trunk is looking better and I did the same to the engine compartment . Digging the old seals out of my beat up engine compartment channels was a pain in the , well you get the idea.

Prime

Deconstruction

Gutted the wiring under the front deck lid. Removed the gas tank. Have been wire brushing off this flakey stuff that was everywhere . Found more rust to treat. Driver side front fender has a lot of hidden rust ( headlight bucket is eat up) so I may replace that fender.

Well I took care of the title today and now have my Antique Auto plate!

Vintage hood

Not %100 fitted yet but on.

Single port heads

Well I have my heads back from the shop.  All new exhaust valves and all the surfaces reworked. Just like new !

Parts procurement

Well the jugs turned out to be very worn! So a set of Mahle pistons and jugs have been purchased along with the front engine tin I need, two clutch cables and two accelerator cables ( one each for emergency parts box) as well as a complete carpet kit (it was on sale). Should put the top end in good shape.
