it takes a village(or at least a non-club), 2.0 rebuild Options

[nycchef]

o.k i hope you are all sitting down. good ....let us begin.
i am starting to rebuild a 2.0 engine. those of you who know me know that this is like teaching a monkey to fly the space shuttle. so i hope you are all up tp the task.
firstly i want to do the important stuff, so am i am gonna repaint the tins and the fan housing (this way, if it never runs it'll look good)
cleaned them up, rubbed them down with denatured alcholol, light sanding and am ready to prime. gonna use duplicolor primer and paint.
have heard that i should bake them ( have big ovens here, may make my next lasagna taste like a 914,but i'll live with that) but the real question is what colors, high gloss or matte, plaid or stripes, lets go guys give me your ideas, show pics of whats already been done (go easy on the photoshop i believe everythig i see)
o.k this is gonna be fun andwhen it's over we will have a new 2.0 we can be proud of...at least i will

p.s. my money is on the monkey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)

The benefit of using a shop is that they can strip and pre-treat with iron phosphate. It takes allot of time. It cost you a couple of hundred dollars, but by the time you spend stripping and getting powder everywhere trying to get these into an oven that if your only doing a set, it would be a wash. Best bet is to get a couple of guys that want it done and split the cost. One set may be $200, 2 sets $300, 3 sets $350, so if you can break it down enough, you can overcome the set up charge and not have to make a big mess.
