1967 RS Duramax Camaro

[6.4 F-350]

What are the clevis looking things in the front of the Mustang?

 

[Cummins_Bred]

My bet is tow hooks. Something for a truck to hook onto if you go off the track into the gravel pits. Douchey honda kids around town think it's badass to have them on the backs of their civics in bright anodized-looking colors

looks like someone ate curb or something on the valance...

deffinetly badass

Happened with the previous owner on the track. We're painting 3 of them in case it happens again.

ERMERGERD... This thread is full of muscle win.

Man The Mustang is Cool.....But I want t see the Camaro finished!

It will be finished, I promise.

It's his thread, let him post what he wants! oke:

It's all good, probably shouldn't have mentioned the Mustang anyway. I was a little too excited about it.

Finished the body work on the firewall.

And primed it, then got it into the booth on Friday after work.

Sooo much masking...

 

[dslhtrdr]

Got the tranny tunnel and lower firewall undercoated, then painted everything satin black.

 

[dslhtrdr]

That's it for now. You can guess what gets painted next weekened :evil

I moved the motor into my work space friday after work, but couldn't do anymore because of dinner plans.

Saturday morning, started taking it apart and cleaning it.

After cleaning and prepping it the best I could, I masked off what needed to go black.

Then etched it.

And sprayed the satin black.

 

[dslhtrdr]

While I let that dry I ran into town to buy some white sealer for the next color.

Unmasked.

Etched.

Sealed white.

And sprayed Viper Red.

Came to work this morning and unmasked it.

And after work today I decided to polish the fuel rails and injection lines.

That's it for now, not a lot to report, but it was a lot of work believe it or not.

More parts are on the way, so things are moving forward.:rockwoot:

Are you going to clear those lines and rails to keep them looking nice? I'm really enjoying following your build.

I wasn't planning on clearing them. I believe the rails are stainless steel, which holds a polishing extremely well, and the injection lines seem to have some kind of aluminized coating, and aluminum holds a polish pretty well too, so I'm going to leave them as is, and if they need to be shined up later down the road it's not hard to hand polish them again.

Head studs should be showing up tomorrow so once I install those I can reassemble most of the motor and see how good it looks. Also waiting on tranny parts so I can get it built. Might be able to work on it this Sunday, so I need to make a game plan... So much to do with not a lot of time.

 

[Chris Tobin]

Looking great!!! The red and black really pops well on the engine!!!

 

[JWJohnson]

What did you use to polish the fuel lines and rails? Looks good man!
