BOTTLFED...Taking on a new look (Under the Hood)

[bottlfed92]

Well...It was an early morning for me and Tim Horton. But, together we got the job done. I was into the shop this morning at 4:30 and painted my distributor cap and cover, smoothed cowl grill, custom radio panel and shifter bezel. Aside from a bit of dust in the cowl grill, all things look great! I'll perform a bit of wet sanding on the cowl panel and buff the he!! out of it.
I'll post some pics after lunch. As far as my lighting went in my garage, the greens seem to match up quite well. Which is something I was concerned with when I opened the pint of color. 4 or 5 coats of clear gave it a nice shine and a bit of insurance to sand off the imperfections.



Stay tuned.

Patience wearing thin....





How did the paint come out on the DIN panel? Did the engraving remain visible like we hoped?

 

[DMAN302]

impatience...yup datz what it is!!

Slowwwww poke

 

[bottlfed92]

As promised, (for all you impatient ****ers) here are some shots. Keep in mind please that the car still needs one hell of a cleaning and detailing. LOL.
Alan - The DIN panel sprayed up nice. The engraving is not as noticeable as I had hoped. However, nothing a little detail brush and time won't take care of. The picture makes it less noticeable than it actually is, though...I just noticed that.

Still awaiting on new fasteners for the cowl panel. Other than the few things mentioned (along with some custom vacuum lines) the car is ready.

Those floor mats kick @$$!!!

Thanks Dave. The lady that did these up for me made a small mistake with the first set. The font was wrong and not what I wanted or expected. So....She made another set up for me with the correct font.
Now I have a set for daily driving and a set to pull out for shows only. LOL

 

[DMAN302]

ohhhhhh...that's all that I have to say....ooohhhhhhhhhh nice!! Between you and 87t I think you've established yourselves safely as the best done Canadian foxes PEROID.

i think the combo of painting some engine parts and polishing/chroming the rest really competence each other

 

[bottlfed92]

D...That's a huge compliment, that I would never take lightly. Thanks a pile. However, I do know of one red hatch in the Windsor area that ain't too shabby.

Ryan, I appreciate the compliments.
