I picked up my engine block, rods, and cylinders today when I dropped off my valve hardware. I would have taken pics, but Noel took the camera. All that is left is for them is to assemble the heads, trim the piston skirts (mini skirts) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) and grind the crank.

Mike I know you are using VW stuff to build this engine, is there an online guide as to what is close or does it just come down to a bunch of measuring, machining, and finding parts? A friend wants to do this and we're really just looking for an easy guide. Figuring it outs not a problem, it just takes some more time.

It sounds like you are using a stock crank, cut down VW Cylinders and VW rods?

GETTING CLOSE !! As Mike knows but non of you do, this isn't a " perfect " jopb by any means BUT it will be a pretty damn nuce ride for our boy. I have taken care of the major rust and the major dents. In theese pics you wil see some red/brown porimer. These are spots that had pretty bad pitting but now detrementaly thin metal. I couldn't warrent sandblasting these small spots so I cleanes them, gace then a coat of Ospho and then use some Spies etch primer whic also acts as a rust neutralizer. Just so Mike doesn't worry there were no signs of rust after I cleaned the metal, I just wanted to make double certain it was protected (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Oh and you also got Spies sealer on top of that, all foprm my personal stash (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Hoping to do the body this coming week, if not it will be the following. I also will probably sand and re-shot the passengers door. For the last 2 weeks I keep getting ALOT of large pices of trash in most of what I have painted. Not sure where it's coming from but I need to track it down. The passenger door just got a sh*t load of crap in it, paint actually laid down alot better than the pics show, looks pretty much like a factory job other than the trash in it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Stop smoking while your spraying...its picking up the ashes...

Seriously...change out your hoses, uncouple any hard lines and blow all the shit out. It settles in the lower bends and corners of the hard pipes...
Its rust in the pipes...BTDT..
If copper, it corrodes inside...BTDT...

I ended up finding some male/female disconnects for the copper that I had to sweat in the system so I can take it all apart once a year and blow all the shit out...
Seems a compressor creates shit from the reaction of compressing the air...no idea how.

I drink when I paint, I don't smoke until afterwards, it's a celebratory thing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif)


I keep all that clean, new hose and fittings yearly, dessicant evry 3-6 months. I have a feeling it is coming from the door filters, didn't happen until I had to start putting the heater outside the booth, first 2 times it was big hard chunks of something that had obviously floated down onto the panel, this time it is much smaller particles but still larger then the normal dust that happens. I take one filter out of the door for the heater to blow through, but I think some booth maintanence is in order. I have neglected the booth as a whole lately. It's OLD and VERY drafty. I have always had a problem with trash, due to the booths age, and wear, just not this bad until now.
