This was my first/second basecoat clearcoat paint job. It was the second because the first time the color was wrong. After scuffing with 400-600 grit it was ready for the final try.
Did some serious sweating to get the cheap basecoat to hide. Took 3/4 gal of Omni MBC (unreduced material) to make six coats of base. Two to three coats is the norm but the cheap stuff is all I could afford. $100/ gal was worth the headache. Clearcoat was leftovers from a friend's resto. It was DCU 2021 which sprayed nice and thick and layed out great.

I know a few people were following along on this- been a while since I last posted here- but finally all came together!
Mounted up and running strong! Still a few details to work out; but runs good, sounds good, feels good on the initial pulls. Super happy it worked out!

Well I decided to go for it -
Went with 42's and a TWM manifold. Still lots to sort out, but Ill start another thread on it somewhere and link it back here. Rought calculations hopefully put it in between an OER setup and a Mikuni PHH setup $wise.

I would probably do them in pairs, then each pair goes to a common shaft.

Part of running a single shared throttle shaft was for a super clean look- like how datsun_tokyo linked above has it.
I also still haven’t decided on the manifold- but was planning on the TWM one- seems to be the cleanest and allows me to run without all the linkages.
With that said I’m interested- I’ll shoot you PM.
