Painted my T18 with duplicitous cast iron engine paint with ceramic.

I also stabbed all my external drive train (tcase, tranny, bellhousing etc) bolts into a cardboard box to get cleaned and painted. Also cleaned my clutch fork bellhousing shields, and front crossmember for paint.

I'm so freaking sick of cleaning parts for paint :(
All worth it when it looks that nice though, right?

Wasted hours of my day looking for the lock cylinders I removed from the doors in April, 2011.

I have new cylinders but the z-brackets are still attached to the old cylinders.
They are small and sometimes the mess in your shed is, ahem, big from what we've seen Dave. Good luck.

I broke a cardinal rule in some people's eyes

I WASHED IT!!!!!!!!!!
Did a little tuning to the carb. I tried to reattach the sound barrier permanently to the hood but it didn't work. I think I am gonna have to break down and buy the self stick stuff from eastwood or something. Anyway it was a nice day out in Northern VA so I just kind of tinkered.

Put the dog in the back yard or in a kennel or something.
LOL The dog is the baby, and I would be dead if I did that! :laugh:

I did get one radius arm done and installed, the other side has the coilover and radius arm mounts on the axle...now I just need to build the frame mount and a panhard and I'm done with the front. I'll post up pics tomorrow hopefully.

My dog loves the kennel she hears the word kennel and she gets so excited. And my other dog hates the kennel when she hears kennel she goes to bed and lays there she wouldn't do anything.

Pulled the steering box off to clean it so I can rebuild it later this week.

Took my oil pan and valve covers off and changed out my rear main seal as well as all of my gaskets. Coated the valve cover and oil pan with some paint!
How did you get the AMC 304 to look so nice? My guess is a few coats of silver, let that cure, then mask the AMC 304 off and paint it red?? What did you use to mask the numbers and letters off? My guess here is motorcycle number plate decals.

That looks very nice!! I'd love to do the same thing to my 304:2thumbsup:
