I finally got my rear subframe parts all painted up=) I didn't take any final pictures like I thought though=/ I also realised that one of the wheel bearings is really bad and needs to be changed.

I ended up getting all of the carbon off of the pistons, but yet again I didn't take any pictures. Here are the only pictures that I took:

 

Before clearcoat:

Sprayed the brake shields and hubs:

Painted the diff black:

Wednesday I will take pictures of them all finished. I will be pressing in the new bushings too hopefully. It is supposed to be warm for once, so I should be able to get some primer and paint on the block finally.

Just to give you guys an idea of exactly how my lips will look.

This is Shaun Quills car. He is the one powdercoating my faces. We are both running Breytons. His are 11's in the back though. I need to find some 7.5" or 8" barrels to widen mine sometime this year.

Hit him up if you guys need any powder needs met: https://www.facebook.com/ShaunsPowderCoating?ref=ts&fref=ts

^That's me=P lol

 

I got a little bit done yesterday.
I started by taping off the block. I ended up running out of tape so I could only one side=/

I then laid down some primer:

I then had to wait for that to dry, so I started working on the bay again. I busted out a propane torch, wire brush, and pallet knife.

Passenger side:

Driver side:

I ended up having to quit that for the day because my brush bit the dust:

By this time the primer was dry, so I laid down the paint:

It was supposed to have more of a champagne tint to it, but it definitely looks good=) It looks like liquid mercury. Hopefully Saturday I will get the other side painted, as well as removing the crank bolt to pull the timing cover.

I also snapped a few crappy pictures of my rearend parts finished up:

And a shot of the pistons clean:
