[Limey]

I also put the Turbines Back on I really like these wheels sooooo much I need one more tire 255/60 for Drive side other than that They Cleaned up well 120 then 220 then 400 then used alum brightener to make them look 25% presentable LOL

 

[Mr_Roboto]

Always had a thing for turbines, still want to stick T-type wheels on something. Heck, I'd have no shame sticking a set on the Eagle at some point honestly although I think the look isn't quite right.

Are you using that SEM paint on the interior?

 

[Limey]

Absolutely I would not use any other than SEM ... I also DO NOT USE BullyDog adhesion promoter that stuff is shit and should never be used

Yeah that SEM is the shit for interior parts. So your not using any adhesion promoter at all? I’ve never liked the BullyDog either but there was another I use to use. Can’t remember what it was though.

No I am Using Duplicolor Adhesion promoter that is the Best I have found that works the best with SEM paint Put some on plastic before primer, then two more coats on the primer (just misted it on) Then the SEM once it dried enough to paint that is, let it sit I think 40 minutes before the SEM and after the primer (misted promoter)

 

[Limey]

Well finally got some alone time with the SE today and hood plan is almost done 400 grit final sand then it can go into sealer and yes this is functional as well .... I am also gonna add an Aluminum mesh screen on the front of scoop for the hole didn't quite get covered by the main piece so have to "adjust" some metal there

P.S. The sheet metal screws are only temporary till I sand the 400 grit then will panel bond the scoop down for its final resting place they will come out when the panel bond is halfway cured like I did my floors in the other SE then long hair fiberglass bondo will fill in what needs to be and then If needed fill in any pin holes with skim coat of bondo the seal it up and start on the rest of Body work
