It is cosmetic damage I'm sure but I may pick up another pan to refinish in better condition. Cool. If it's just cosmetic, can you spackle some extra powder coat into the divots before you spray the remainder? Use the plastic coating as "filler"?

March 14, 20196 yr Author comment_570927 Yes and no. It works somewhat. I will do a little JBWeld bondo work. It’s good to 500 degrees F Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=209#findComment-570927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
March 14, 20196 yr Author comment_570938 Received the EZ Clip A/C hose kit and connectors along with some unicoils last night. Now I can get the Evap unit buttoned up and in place hopefully. I will leave the engine bay side uncut and ready to finish for when the engine goes back in.

March 15, 20196 yr Author comment_570987 Cleaned up the pan and layed down some JB Weld like bondo. When it cures, I will sand it down smooth for powder coating.

March 15, 20196 yr comment_570996 Have you powdered over jbweld before? I was under the impression the powder wouldn't flow over it, or are you hot spraying?

March 15, 20196 yr Author comment_570997 It will take powder, but hot coating works best. Or a combination of the two is what I usually do.

March 18, 20196 yr comment_571267 So much awesome in this thread... Which green are you going with for the body? One of the original Datsun color codes? Or something custom?

March 18, 20196 yr Author comment_571291 It’s a close custom mix. More metallic and a tad lighter. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/50908-1976-280z-restoration-project/?&page=209#findComment-571291 Share on other sites More sharing options...
