      so far we have the floor and side panels tacked in place. hinges/ latches finished. the latches open by pulling on cables. we are setting it up so it opens by pushing in the trunk button. corner amblers are cut, but need finishing, as well as plating the tailgate itself

            Reinz bolts are meh. OEM or Metric blue bolts short of ARP headbolts are the better options.

                  Reinz bolts are fine. I've never had an issue with the 10+ times I've used them.
                  The Reinz headgaskets are the ones to stay away from.

                        How many engines have you rebuilt?

                                1 can did 2 coupe door cards with 2.5 coats each to give you an idea.

                                Idk the oz, but it's the common can size of all spray paint cans.
