engine bay painted

[KAL7467]

Well today I pulled the motor,tranny ,diff and all the suspension pieces even though I planned on just rattle can painting the engine bay black. Happy to report no rust under the battery or any where else un expected that we hadn't already cut out and fixed. We used seam sealer on a few places like the frame rails and tranny tunnel and painted the whole underside, interior, and engine bay with rust shield black paint and then sprayed the engine with the Datsun light blue metalic and cleared it so we can replace the engine other pieces and roll it to the actual paint booth. I am really glad we gutted the whole thing because I was able to get everything protected with phosphoric acid and then the rust shield. Here are a few pics. Tikico suspension will go on sunday and the suspension pieces will be painted black with chassie saver and the gear boxes will be scrubbed a bit. Enjoy the pics...

Nice, Jamie. I'm glad you went the extra step there. I'm anxious to see it finished.
