Powder coating is cheap...

Especially if you have the correct spraying tools, and an oven. But even if you don't, it doesn't cost all that much to have even a shop do it for you.

Looking awesome! So clean!

Yeah I bet. Powder coating isn't cheap. But I bet its nothing compared to what the LS3 will cost lol.

Powdercoating is cheap because I'm doing most of it myself. The only things I didn't do were the things that won't fit in our oven - engine support, sway bars and track bar.

Whoops sorry guys. Didn't know it wasn't that expensive. For some reason I thought it was quite a lot.

$50 for a 2.5lb tub of powdercoat that I haven't even used all of yet. Plus hours and hours of my sandblasting and powdercoating time.

Well to me that seems pretty steep. Factor in the time and equipment and

some of us on this site have the ability to do powder coating if your ever interested.

[C2YT]

Ahah thanks for the offer Darren, I might take you up on it!

I repaired the blower harness and re-loomed. Everything under the hood will be loomed in this mesh loom from Terminal Supply. I love the look of this stuff over the cheap corrugated plastic loom.



Completed front suspension and brakes today.













Routed canister line.

[C2YT]

Damn you could eat off of it it's so clean!

[ruckusz28]

I love the way this is coming along

I'm finally done with this rear axle. After getting wrong axle and pinion seals a couple times I got the right ones installed. I also had problems with the differential cross pin locking bolt head rounding off. I ended sacrificing an 8mm Craftsman wrench and welding it to the head of the bolt to break it loose. Then I welded a bolt to the head to get the rest of it out. It's all back together now and I was able to install the rear axle. I could actually bolt wheels to this car and wheel it out of the garage.

[C2YT]

It's looking absolutely amazing Jason. Making me want to kick my project into high gear! lol
