OKAY!!! well finally after a month or 2 of neglect im back on the project, this weekend i got the motor all cleaned and prepped, plus primed (x2 coats) and a good solid top coat done, so here is a few pictures its just a quick mock up of the case and bits plus the top end separate, and in case anyone is wondering i used the POR-15 engine enamel kit, the cleaner (marine clean) that they send with the kit is amazing stuff really cuts through grease and oil much better than powerpurple or dawn, both of which i used. I am really happy with the results, the only few mistakes are my doing, spraying a bit to heavy on the topcoat but nothing major just a run or 2, in the pictures youll see what i left polished, and i still have some more work to do on most of the aluminum, and also i will be doing all the fins with a ground edge to make them silver, i think it needs something to break up all the black, i started a few pieces to see how it will look and i think it will really stand out. So once i get all the fins ground and the few little holidays hit up with a brush and paint, i will be moving onto the top end rebuild!! so heres the pictures let me know what you guys think and if you have any suggestions!
