April 5 the motor is coming along great. All the internals are in and the almost final product is about ready to get on the engine stand for it’s first start up.
While the motor building process was finishing up, I was busy getting the car prepped to head to the graphics shop for the vinyl wrap. The first issue to handle was clearing off all of the old decals. here is a quick before and after:
With the car completely stripped of all decals, it needs a good bathing and a once over with rubbing alcohol to get all of the excess residue left over from the stickers. Next blog will have pictures and video of the engine on the stand getting fired up for the very first time! Stay tuned.
