if you're painting it yourself I advise to spray it in direct gloss.. A lot less headaches de-nibbing. No worries about shit in the BC then.

Thank you for the advice, I got an enamel paint from a place up in Portland, seems like quality stuff and was little $$ so if it gets all screwy I'm not out much.

What's BC?

Thanks!

So I have started prepping the car for a repaint, I have sanded about half of it so far just down through the clear so the new base coat has some thing to stick to. I am going to respray it the same Alpine White as it is now just to clean it up. The paint wasn't to bad but there are a few pretty small dents that I wanted to fill. Also, I am going to shave the side trim, fill the clip holes with weld and then bondo it up.

I'll post up some pics of the progress this weekend.

I hear you, I struggled with the "mess under the intake" and feel like I sort of half assed it, but everything seems to be sealed up.

Good luck with yours!

2019 update! Going to add a bunch of new pictures here.. well maybe not a bunch. As of November 2019: Seat is mounted, switch panel is finished as is the digital dash mount. Got a new wiring harness and lq9 coils from Thorn Industries. Chase Bays tucked radiator for room and that sweet sweet dual pass design
