Parts on the car! The shelf looses some value!

You aren't gonna paint the frame?
|
I wasn't planning on it, but I am going to be verbally berated unless I do. Engine is probably going to come out soon so I will pull the sub, strip it down and then have my cousin do it for me. May fix and paint the firewall too, if I think I have time.

Got the other shock bracket cut off tonight. Decided to weigh the parts before/after.
Old setup weighed 87.2 lbs (for both sides), shock bracket, old end links, upper and lower control arms, shocks and springs. New setup; 62.8 lbs, Using Speedtech tubular lower control arms, SPC uppers, AFCO coilover shock, Hyperco springs and Keiths upper shock bracket I will also soon be doing some LS1 brakes with some aluminum hubs, so I should lose a few more lbs from that too. |
If the car loses weight that leaves more room for deep fried hot dogs for lunch with the JSP crew!! Win Win!!

So deep fried hot dogs ANYTIME??!!??!!!

^ Now this is a build I can get interested in. :popcorn:

The deep fryer is on order, now I just need to fab up a splash shield so I don't get burned while driving around corners |
What about the pizza oven so we can have some sicilian too?
|
Pizza oven may be a bit of an engineering challenge. Maybe we can integrate using the heat from the exhaust to heat some bricks or something, imitate pizza that has been on the grill? And sicilian makes sense since it is square, less wasted space in the cooking area
|
And the obligatory soft serve machine in the trunk and chocolate sauce dispensing side pipes?

I got the other side shock bracket welded on now and the suspension mocked up but the bolts I originally bought for the lower shock mount are too short, so I have to buy some new ones. I also decided I am just going to hit the bare metal with some rattle can paint for now. I have too many other things to buy to worry about getting the sub frame blasted and painted nice right now.

You need to make room for a waffle maker :drool:

It's not too bad, some of the factory black is still on it, light surface rust, some power steering fluid cuz one of the hoses leaked. Joe is going to clean and paint it now because I wasn't going to, lol.
|
Gotcha. Undercoating is a bitch if you are blasting it.
|
Ok, David is painting the subframe now. The rest of the cast will look like crap, but not under the hood
|
He's not happy with it, it's too shiny. :rollseye: "I'm going to put another coat on it to dull it out some"
|
What paint is he using? Did he reweld the seams while he was at it?

The paint was Eastwood Chassis Black. I thought it would be really nice, but its waaaay too glossy. I didn't care what it looked like, but he couldn't get it how he wanted it :rofl: so when he went to the store to get paint for the engine he got what he liked for other car, and it turned out REALLY nice. I think it was semi-flat black? He went over everything again and it looks great. A few things happened today :shock: http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/r...406_192957.jpg Then this; http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/r...406_192806.jpg Then this; http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/r...406_195122.jpg And finally they are going to look great together; http://i494.photobucket.com/albums/r...406_195150.jpg Not to worry, that balancer/pulley has to be replaced with another. The LR4 looked terrible. It was COVERED in grease/oil, I honestly didnt think it was going to turn out that well, but I was pleasantly surprised. I got the aluminum pretty clean with some scotch brite and some "mag" wheel cleaner with the acid in it. I would like to to be brighter and less stains, but I would have to take all the cast stuff off, then bead it and then clear. I can live with it like this for now. I have sooooo much other stuff to do now and that is low on the priority list since now everything else is going to look like crap next to a clean/painted engine and sub-frame. I have to clean and paint everything else that is going in the engine compartment and on the engine. Joe and I also contemplated putting Mike's engine in my car instead, not like he'd know for a while :shrug: :kneeslap: |
