Re: Project "My Happy Mess"

Monday Update -

Took the shroud off to paint.
Scuffed with (red) scotch bright pad, air hosed off and wiped clean with lacquer thinner after.
(I do for nearly everything I've painted)




Here's the connector The Fixer used to affix the fan to the shroud.




Screwed into the shroud. Plastic spacer and rubber washer.



Backside -



And painted. Not too happy with the paint coverage.
Universal Rust-oleum Flat Black with stupid spray away nozzle.
Do yourself a favor and NEVER buy this type of spray can!
It was spitting blobs paint constantly. I might even redo the shroud because of it.






Fitted fenders, cowl and hood. The aftermarket fender fits "ok".
I do not like the top/front end. Where the hood runs along side, the fender
curves to the outside rather than straight or slightly to the inside like the OEM
fender does on the driver's side. It doesn't look great, and I hope it doesn't
mess with the grille alignment. If there's a way to get it to straighten up,
I'd like to try (if at all possible within reason). No picture of that here though.
I'll try and get a shot of it later. It's a Goodmark fender I think.





Should I keep the pinstripe work on the underside nah



Got them "close", but still need little adjustments.
