Ill make threads about them when they are complete.
BTW if you look close, my manifolds and heat shields are ceramic coated. Ill let you know how it holds up.

99ishVR-4, I'm finally back in the area & managed to get some photos of the most repair repair I've done with Lab Metal. Here it is:
Attachment 5959
Attachment 5960
As you can see, I haven't had a chance to powder & cure them, but my previous Stealth cover I did in mirror red had an imperfection that I filled smooth with Lab Metal.
Looks like it works well. Is it that round spot that you filled? I should probably order some to have on hand for when I come across parts that need it. Thanks for the suggestion.Quote:

So anyone who has a lot of extra fasteners, please check out this thread: http://www.3sgto.org/parts-wanted/12...uts-bolts.html . Most of the fasteners I need in that thread are either not available individually from Cherry hill, or they are ridiculously expensive.
Last update for a month probably. Our lease with our landlord was supposed to end December 31st because she wanted to sell the house. Well I just found out 2 days ago that someone is now closing on the house November 8th. So I will be spending the next month packing and moving and getting the car back into a trailer-able state. I am dropping off all the fasteners at the platers tomorrow even though I didn't get all of the missing bolts I needed. I will have to do a small batch for those later. After we find a new house, hopefully I can get the garage setup fairly fast and get back to work on it.
I did do all the turbo oil and water lines before I got the news though.

Those look good! I just added them into my zinc plating order instead of painting.
Pleez fix your pic links in the beginning of the thread!
Nice coating!
Yeah, I was thinking about that after I coated them. I wanted them in this color, but I should have done zinc first to keep the insides of the lines protected, and then just powder coated over the outside zinc. Your zinc plated parts look great though, I considered zinc turbo lines when I saw yours but for some reason I decided a while ago that I wanted all the lines on the car to be this black chrome color.Quote:

Sitting on jack stands, trans issue. I need to just get motivated and open it up. I might be able to just swap in the old stock diff.Quote:
