1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Yes, mask was good but prefilters are shot now. I really should have had the Tyvek suit on to protect from skin absorption but I wasn't expecting the intake fan to dead head like that

1971 HLS30-14938 "Lily" build
Today A bright gallon Here is the yellow basecoat I think that was 3 coats of base. There were some areas that had a little gray show through and they were super hard to get covered with the yellow. It's just so transparent! 3 coats of clear. Overall, not too bad but one of my cans of clear had a little rust on it and it ended up in the mixing cup. the paint screens didn't get it all. So there are a few brown specs in the clear. I will have to cut them out. Hopefully I won't have to reclear. It's progress though. My booth didn't totally work the way I wanted. My intake fan filter ended up clogging with exhaust paint overspray coming back in another door of the shop. At the end the booth was pretty foggy! Don't light a match!! I probably should have worn my Tyveck suit but it was already hot in the booth... Colour!!!!

So yesterday Shot some white basecoat There was still a little trash in the paint. No idea where it's coming from. So I worked those areas with a little 600 grit and then degreased again and tacked the car

280z - 1977 upgrade brake to 4 calipers Toyota 4Runner
We have some mountainous areas near us and I have found the stock brakes to have a lot of fade on long downgrades. I hate the idea and smell of burning brakes. That's where the brake upgrades appeal to me

1973 Rebuild
Miscommunication, I have not had the 123. I know several people who have it and I like everything I have read about. I know the caps can be a problem but I have seen solutions for that.

Carburetor Conundrum (260Z)
There are a number of members here who are fans of the flat top carbs. Captain Obvious being one of them, but we don't hold that against him! 🤣 The flat tops are tremendously more complicated than the SUs you have. You'll get it sorted...

New to me, 280Z...
Just be careful! The bare chassis is not super heavy but it's still heavy enough to hurt you!

So I was gonna try and spray color this weekend but that's not gonna happen. I reset the booth and added an inflow fan like Homebuilt by Jeff had. The problem came about when building the fan. I stabbed my thumb nail with a philips bit in an impact and tore about half the nail loose! 🤬 Shelley helped me get the booth all back set The weather this weekend is also pretty rainy and humid. So I will try again next weekend. May try a test panel with the new spray gun tomorrow.

Buy the rail and replace it entirely Edit: If the bottom Is that compromised the sides are too. And potentially the flanges and welds. Clean slate...

P90a head F54 block correct head gasket
My machine shop had problems sourcing freeze plugs when they did the L20b in December. So it wouldn't surprise me if there was still some scarcity.
