Biohazard
Hey GG, thanks for reading the thread...glad it's doing something for ya.
I finished prepping all 4 sides of the engine compartment. Degreased (again), scrubby-padded, washed with soapy water, sprayed with Prep N' Ready, and rinsed. To facilitate all this, I pulled the steering box and the A/C condenser along with the horns and all the stuff mounted to the firewall.
The driver's side inner fender.
The passenger's side inner fender.
The radiator support.
Engine compartment stuff. Just more things to clean and paint, lol.
The power steering box...which weighs as much as a truck battery.
One of the many things that'll get a fresh coat of black paint.
I must interject about how nice it is to work on the car without the funky stank.
I hope to get all of the necessary masking-off complete in the AM tomorrow. I have some briefings to attend at work, mid-day, and then I intend to shoot the R6 in the PM. The hitch: There be weather rolling in. I will be spraying the paint outside so I need warmth, low humidity, and light winds...I also need time. Time for the paint to cure before the foul conditions present themselves. But I am geeked to get the paint down!
Since I was cleaning and rinsing anyway, I soaked the windshield channel with Krud Kutter in an effort to clean out the goo that some novice used to install a windshield. It still needs work. I'm picky.
Keeping the fingers crossed for tomorrow.
