The paint was very tricky it naturally comes out VERY thick, if you don't keep it moving it will run. Decided to do 2 coats to make sure I have good coverage. I used adhesion promoter on the door bars to make sure they stick good. The clear coat will make it shine and bring the metal flake out.
Come on, have you ever heard of rear mount?? I'm going to put the AC condenser in the rear.

Get any work on the car done this weekend? I posted some new photos in the mini tubbing section, man i have a tin can on wheels 
I must have pulled close to another 20 pounds out maybe more, that has to be close to 100pounds removed from this pile, now I need to start lightening up the front to get the weight back even.

Didn't get much done this weekend...
- Used a piece of 6" aluminum tubing 18" long, cut a 1/2" section out to make a inlet on the bumper for the turbo. Got the bumper cut and than trimmed the aluminum tube so it contours the bumper
- Milled ~.015 off the back of the pistons, just used a round aluminum burr and milled a groove between the wrist pin, have about .020 of clearance now
- Cleaned the block for assembly
- Cleaned/Hung the rods on the pistons
- Tig welded reluctor wheel to crank
- Dropped the crank in the LSx block, installed main caps and completed 2 torque sequences
- Drilled remining holes in the valley cover and pre-fit 1/8" bung for oil pressure
- Ground off fill tube from valve covers to weld on Aluminum fill bung and cap
- Touched up a couple areas on the cage where the paint was thin
- Mounted fenders and front bumper back onto car to go to paint
I'll get some more work done tomorrow morning before work.
