ENGINE BAY FINALLY ON PRIMER!!
As I promised, the engine bay should be painted tomorrow. The trunk is painted and will be sprayed with clear at the same as the bay.
Im painting in two stages. First stage is with a flat red to cover the white properly then that is covered with my chosen color.


After cutting my battery tray off, had to weld a bracket to firewall for the wire cover.



Damn fuse box

Inside the wheel well will be painted black later on

Transmission tunnel

The waiting game is over!
Before having family over for Christmas supper, I went by the shop to snap some pics of the bay fully dry. All that is left is a nice sand and buff. The color changed from yesterday (in a good way) to the color that I was hoping to see. This week I'm going to attack the car and try to get a lot done before the new year.

The day after a huge snow storm in Montreal, I finally got to the shop with time to work on my bay instead of shoveling/snow blowing. 40 cm of snow in less than 12 hours, I believe it was a record breaker. Anyway, I started placing everything back on the firewall like the fuse box, clutch MC, throttle cable and brake booster. Also passed the wires towards the outside of the bay so I can hide them in the fender. Tomorrow the car will be going back on lift so I can finalize everything. Enjoy

Thank you for the support and I hope you all like this build so far!

This will be magnificent, very nice choice of color.

I have nothing else to say.
