Re: Dafizucks street machince (hopefully) buildup
I was riding like handz with sportlines no isos up front for a while...its kind of bumpy, but the sexiness of it is worth it IMO.
I need to take out the damn polyeurothane isos I put in after winter.
My front is sittin up all high and shit now

Re: Dafizucks street machince (hopefully) buildup
I am going to put poly isos in the rear and take both of them out in front. Get that real old school look going. Have a bunch of stuff to do this winter, so I am hopin for a nice load of pics to come.

Finally decided to update this thread... been real busy on the car. Motor is out of the car waiting for the PI heads and Bullitt IM. I have stripped it down to the heads, almost ready to get the biatch back together.
Heads
IM
While I have all this stuff out I am painting the valve covers black with red stripes. I started to paint today, but was havin an issue with the paint sticking so I am redoing tomorrow.
I also got busy in the transmission. Replaced alot... new pivot stud, clutch fork, throw out bearing, and pilot bearing. I also have a ford racing billet steel flywheel that will accept my 11" 03-04 oem cobra clutch. I had a king cobra clutch, but when I was about to put it on I noticed a chunk missing, so I got the cobra clutch.
Pulled the timing cover off today... and 11 years with probably no engine cleaning, needless to say it was filthy, but I took a pic of how it looks after 45 minutes of cleaning.
Not too shabby
Engine and all the parts in my trunk...
I also did an IRS swap about 3 months ago. I drove to vegas from SD at 6 in the morning, did the swap from 12-8, then drove home. Crazy day. I am installing stage 8 bolts to be at ease...
You all know what this means
I also have a couple things going on the exterior to complete the beast. I will keep updating throughout this week and next.

Re: Dafizucks buildup update 3/10/09
I've done my valve covers, and can give you some helpfull feedback.
before you paint them, you want to spray down a coat of Adhesion promoter.
Then do your paint, and do not use regular or wheel clear! or paint for that matter.
The Modulars get hot, my clear went yellow, so keep that in mind.
you definately want to use high temp paint on these.
Snazzy shoes in that last pic!!
Looking good so far, you've got some good work ahead!

Re: Dafizucks buildup update 3/10/09
Do I need to clear?? I dont really need glossy, but I can if I need to protect it. Can I use regular adhesion promoter, or is there a special engine primer I need to use? Thanks for the help.

Re: Dafizucks buildup update 3/10/09
ok, you'll want to strip them down, scuff them up and spray it with this adhesion promoter. it's good stuff.
You can see the other paints I used. on the left is the high temp blue - good.
on the right the wheel clear - BAD ON MOTORS,
I put 5-6 coats on my covers, then coated it with this clear. it looked awsome!! until I ran the car hard a few times, then it went yellow.
I wouldn't use a clear unless it's high temp, and even then I've heard of the clears going yellow, so it's up to you.

Re: Dafizucks buildup update 3/10/09
Thanks man... appreciate it. I was going to pick up a notch and make me a 4.6 fox body, but I couldnt be down a car for that long. This is my only car. But I will be better about pics and updating this time around.
