Kent added braces to the front flares on the trailing end and block sanding down to 220 is done. Fixed the stripped threads for the drivers side swing arm.

Loving it. I can't wait to be able to look at pictures of my car in primer after all of the metal work.

Now that the world didn't end we should have color on the pan,wheel wells, interior and engine compartment before the new year.

I did wrap up the oil tank and opted to use high temp paint instead of powder coating it. Got one little run while shooting it but know one will see it. I want to get a coat of oil inside to keep it from flashing and need some recommendations on what to use that wont contaminate the oil system later. I'm thinking regular motor oil would be OK but will the oil film stay put over time?

That's what I was thinking but thought there might be something better. I didn't like the suggestion of using WD40. Really didn't think that would be something I'd want in the oil system

Regular oil and mix a bit of blue STP into it.
Say a couple tablespoons STP to a pint of oil. Only use the blue STP.
Use the left over oil for the drill press or any other storage rust protection.
