Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s) |

In the last couple days, I finished priming the second strut and painted both with Rustoleum Satin #7777. It's the same stuff that the 911 guys on the PP board talk about for painting their Fuchs.
I sanded the primered surface with 1000 grit sandpaper just to smooth it out a little, making sure not to hit bare metal. There's a slight texture to the paint that I'd like to see a little smoother. Work is taking me away from home the next few days, so by the time I get home, the paint should be nice and dry. I'll decide at the point whether to color sand and polish the finish to smooth it out, or just let it be. I'm trying not to get too obsessed with the small stuff. Attached thumbnail(s) |
