    Yeah man, foil for wrapping engine stuff during paint is the way to go!

    Thanks everyone, I borrowed my friends go-pro and Im trying something out. This pic was mixed in with a few videos. Never really done any editing, but I have some ideas on what Id like it to end up with. We'll see if it works out, but for now enjoy this mug shot haha

    Finally done with school so I’ve been able to spend more time in the garage. Got more paint on, but masking the brake lines with foil was a pain. Did a pretty good job overall and I’m happy to be done with this



    And all done



    I’m working on another project that is getting close to completion, I’ll share it all when I’m done. Getting excited for the summer

    It’s almost done with the port work and a custom cam. Intake side was left alone, but the exhaust side is getting worked over. I’ll have some after numbers... and eventually some dyno numbers [emoji848]

    I was going to suggest the same thing.
    Mask and paint brush.

    Have you consider taking a paint brush to the fire wall? If you took your time you knock it out pretty easily. And it will be mostly covered anyway. Maybe spray paint part of the firewall and paint brush the rest?

    Nope. Never. This one keeps the U20 motor and Mikuni carbs.

    Thanks Alex! The firewall is going to be a major b!tch to paint, so I might do a Win-Win-Win substitute

    Finally got some time in the garage, and ironically I'm about done with school, but somehow my cylinderhead isnt, so I think at this point I can officially say that I will miss Solvang this year. Being content with that allows me time to get some of the other things done that I was going to delay until after Solvang. I didnt get any pics, but one thing I finally did was to finish drilling out the plates for the rollbar. I also redid the insulation on the header. No Pics of either because its just not very interesting. I have a bigger plan that Im working on, but I finally ran the wires to the battery kill switch. Excited to get this part closer to a reality.



    The kill switch is one of the major safety items I need that will get crossed off once its all wrapped up. The other piece is the fire suppression system and I am hoping to finally purchase that soon too. Theres a few other things going on " behind the scenes" but rest assured once its time I will share those too. So excited to be working on the car again.
