    A special day today.......i finally removed the vin tag, it now sits in the drawer with the dials.

    step 3

    Now i only have one bolt to remove from the steering column and the last oil line from the oil filter and the shell will be ready to be cleaned and paint removed. I am waiting on a air compressor and a couple of other things...progress is getting there slowly but surely, as I read somewhere these things are marathons not sprints.

    I am breaking it down into little jobs as well, so ordering a few parts to do some small jobs. Job 1 is to redo the brass bushes in the pedal box. With this in mind do people powder coat the pedals and pedal box or just paint with a semi gloss black paint ?

    Below are some before shots.......after shots to follow in due course

    Clayton, learn how to use 2k paint... I powdercoated the big things like suspension components etc..., but you'll move forward a lot faster if you can make yourself up a paint booth (old cardboard wardrobe for example) and learn to mix two-component epoxy and polyurethane paints. The finish is superior to anything out of a can, and will literally last a lifetime if looked after. Satin black is merely gloss black with some matting agent mixed in so you can adjust it as you need...
