Everything is in high build and will sit for a week or tw to setup good. I ran out of donor fenders for the dog leg area that always rots out, so it was metal smashing time. Also had a broken bolt to extract

Took the opportunity of a day off to finish up a few stray ends, finished painting the fan housing and tins. Will let cure for a few days then 'bake'

Used VHT Gloss on the tins, Satin on the fan housing, and the super high temp flat on the lower tin in hopes it will stand up to heat better. After cleaning up the fan housing, I treated the severely corroded parts, then a hi temp self etching primer and top coated with VHT

The finishing of these parts brings my strip sand, clean and repaint mode to an end, and NOT TOO SOON..... I must admit motivation was low for these parts. The aluminum on the housing was very distressed and it took 3-4 attempts to get all the loose powdery residue and oxidized stuff off. I was very surprised at the amount of corrosion, but given that there was standing water in and on the engine, and fan (all was corroded and rusted together) and that the entire engine compartment was a nest of many years and layers of nests and varmints, I guess it is to be expected. I was able to save all the hard parts, and most cleaned up well, though with some major pitting.

When Len Hoffman rebuilt the heads, me mentioned that there was some significant pitting he couldnt polish out in the intake tracts but not to be worried because "the increased turbulance will likely be benificial" lol.

Anyhow, Now it is time for assembly! Woohoo!

small and side pieces. After cleaning I had some significant holes in the tin, used an old method with the mercedes source miracle paint and layers of fiberglass mesh to fill gaps. Not perfect, but good enough.

Fan Shroud Mockup with "Porsche " plate" I know, a bit cheesy, but I wanted to do something in the engine compartment and found this plate, thought it would look good. Has an adhesive back, but is metal and I will drill and rivet in the corners.

All blocked down for the last time. A few spots showed up and were addressed and spot primed. And a splash of glossy poo on the insides (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Depending on how my back is doing next week I may be able to get the rest of the car painted. Then all that will be left is the bumpers and valances

Finished the tail lights over the weekend, the lenses polished up nice, and lights are bright. We will see how the directional relay likes the LED's, may have to solder in a resistor. Not bad for a $45 investment (plus time and paint cost).

inner details of taillight LED conversion. All units are sealed weather proof LED's, I had to gut the housings due to corrosion, cracked connectors, circuit boards, etc. I didn't want to spend the $$ ($350+) so I improvised.

The Directional/Tail light was a dual filament bulb, so I added drilled into the housing and added another light. All is held in place with marine silicone. LED's tend to last a very long time, but if one burns out will be simple to change. Was a fun project overall.

and the chocolate shall flow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I never would have thought it, but this is the second worst color I've done for coverage. I initially bought 3 quarts of base, which once reduced gets you 4.5 quarts. This normally is enough for a 911. It has now taken 5 quarts ( gallon and a half reduced ) to get this far. I went and got another 3 quarts friday morning to get the outsides of the doors, hood, engine lid, bumpers and valances done. It is taking 9 coats to get full coverage (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Normally 3-4 gets it done in Shopline, 2-3 in Deltron

I hate that. I had a ford factory color that did that. But even worse it really didn't show up until we pulled it out of the booth. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) At least you were able to keep going.

That chocolate looks delicious! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

More progress, finished assembling the fan housing and alternator tonight. I was able to source a new lower alt bracket as the old one was missing the rear half. Thanks to Bruce Stone. Also pulled out the heads, man they look great. Havent really looked at them since I received last year, looking forward to getting it all together!

Housing went together well, and I sealed the housing with curil K2 before assembly. Interesting stuff. I am waiting for my new connecting rod bolts before I continue on the crankshaft, so doing some prep and test fitting. It took a good bit to figure out how all that goes back together, but I think I have it right. Found all the pieces except the little white plug thing on the left side. Why do parts look much worse rust wise in pics????

Tonight hope to put a light coat of black on the cyls and prep the case.

***EDIT, just realized I already posted this in the engine thread yesterday (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Looking good, Steve. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Is that one of Pete Newman's alternator upgrade kits?

Thanks, a little frustrating right now with a few hardware issues,

Got the alternator direct from BNR parts, is an ebay seller too.
