Weekend Five

Time to paint the engine bay. Ted, our expert painter took on the task. Together with an engine bay seal, this bay is looking great. We're going to put the old 2.0 back into the spot so we can more easily get this car to and fro.
The engine is prepared to go back into the makeover. Nicely painted sheet metal and the engine all cleaned up and new is great to look at. We place the engine on a floor jack to lift it into place. With the new engine shroud seals (91450415510 and 91450411710) this compartment is really looking nice. This engine is nothing compared with the screamer we are planning for our freshly dipped case. More is being talked about concerning super-charging the new engine.
I recommend a chassis stiffening kit for anyone doing body work, especially those doing any welding. My master welding man, Matt, has installed the chassis kit beautifully. Take a look at our installation instructions in our technical section of the website:

This chassis stiffening kit is easily installed. (See part number CS1006) Matt did this one for us in a few hours, which looks fantastic and will add more than a little strength to the chassis. Each hole in the metal is welded as the kit is installed adding lots of strength to the chassis. This area will then be treated with POR15 (see part number GR6013) for rust protection. Both sides of the car are done this way. Having the flares installed, makes this kit even easier to install.
