Doing work this weekend. Will update tonight but here is the rotten pad for the bilge pump.

The alternator kinda gouged the stringer so I ground it out a bit prior to a fix.

As you can see (circles), over the years the bilge had lots of holes drilled for wire looms and what not. Most were unnecessary so I drilled them large prior to filling.

wow.. good job bro keep up the good work..

New bilge pad in. All the holes filled.

Time to paint...

Thanks, been a ton of work over the last few weeks. This week I'm going to sodablast the gimble and drive pieces, get primer and paint for them. And powdercoat misc. engine brackets.

Not much going on today, I did powdercoat samples tonight so tomorrow I will get paint matched for the gimble and drive parts. Tomorrow night I will powdercoat my intake and some brackets as the engine builder will need them Wednesday morning.

Okay, started powder coating tonight. I'm doing gloss black, matte red and matte silver.

nice, gettin lots done

Thanks, dropping the intake and brackets to the engine builder this morning. Gotta get the rest of the drive bits cleaned this week and ready for paint. Christmas is going to hit the brakes on this project for a few days very shortly.

Didn't get jack done today! BUT... I did get to see the engine in a nearly completed state. I'll post some pics maybe as soon as the weekend when I pick it up.
