1970 s2 0453R Reassembly

   My fuel sender unit is on the way from banks, they have some kinks to work out , but they were fast to catch a lost email.
  Testing some paint with the change in the weather. Clear  on Harley fender and some sealer on the nose repair. It’s almost straight enough for paint.
 Still waiting for the engine parts and engine shop.

   Tested the limits of the base coat/ clear coat process outside in high humidity and a nice breeze.
I had to do a blend in the back panel , I had good results using a blender so I gave it a try.
The front clip was also blended into the bottom door sill pin area. Your really going to get down to see  it. Wednesday is the day for he final coat after tomorrow’s sanding.

Looks amazing, D'man! I can't wait for you to start building it!

    Another slow week here, the butterfly effect ...California wildfires are causing havoc to Elgin cams, I received an email stating my order is just waiting for delivery but without power printing invoices, and billing is backed up. I replied to the owner to stay safe and take his time.
   Buffing a few items up to pass the time a little dremmel work and the bell housing will be done .      No painting due to high humidity and afternoon rain storms.
Sorry guys , feels like temps in high 90’s, and I feel for those of you getting freezing temps all ready.

You didn't polish the bolts!!

Yes, I was also very disappointed.

   Good eye, BDA!

   Still getting this nickel plating down pat. The bolts wer some of my first plating tries and I was going thru a lot of anodes , probably not pure, dipped again.
Thanks
D’man
     I get it ! Lol    I missed a spot!😁

Those look much worth of the bell housing they go in!

   Getting ready for some painting again. 😂I needed a test piece. Trimming decals now.

You have love JPS black and gold!

   I love the black and gold livery. 11 especially, but the decals only came in 5 & 6 .

 Waited for a perfect day to put the final coat of clear on the front clip, after the repair to the front turn indicators . All went well and maybe I can start assembling soon.

Nicely done, D'man! It occurs to me that black, as beautiful as it is, might not be the best color for a car in Florida! What are you planning to do for the interior? Please don't say black vinyl!! Or are you planning on an A/C?

[dakazman]

    A dark brown to Oxford leather interior. I am sending that portion out to Florida upholstery In Orlando. The entire ac control system was acquired from a Mazda RX 7. I even have the entire harness and all actuators. Plus the electrical schematic.
  The compressor will run off the water pump like JB perfected. I may need to find another machinist that can get the job done expeditiously.
