For those that didn't know, I did the !wire mod awhile ago and discovered the holes that were for the positive terminal were pretty rusty...





I posted pics awhile ago showing my progress with sanding it smooth and applying putty to it:



And now... it's taped and primed:



A cool "After and Before" picture:




I still have to wetsand and put a few more coats on, but damn i'm so happy with how good it looks already lol

man that looks nice. how long did it take you to tape off all of that?

FamousZ

Looks good! I wish mine didn't have all that goop on it..

Taping it off took about an hour total. Not too bad. I gutted some of my interior dash today to start the major overhaul of that too.

Looks good man when are yah squirtin it?

meissen

prolly going to wetsand tomorrow, depending on how it looks after wetsanding, I might go ahead and do the red tomorrow... it doesn't have to be show quality like the exterior since it's in the engine bay and such, but I do want it to look really good.

Bernotas05

sounds good should look good man

nice. but where did you route the wires? under there into the fender well? not a good idea...but looks good.

Rerouted the wires under the wheel well. Why is that not a good idea? Humor me.

Looks good.

Some "car" people have dislike the idea of the "reroute" aproach under the wheel well. They say it could get "damaged" from moisture and rain. I still haven't done that yet. So I cannot comment.

Hrrm, if that's the case, those "car people" (not directing this at you, Rob) should do some research before they comment. The wires are entirely protected from the elements, as they're covered by the black plastic wheel well cover, it's wedged between the metal of the wheel well, and the plastic cover, so there's no way any elements from the weather could harm or interfere with the wires, likewise not one person that has done the !wire mod has posted saying they've had issues due to rerouting the wires, so I see no harm in it at all, it's an excellent mod!

Anywho, here's another update pic. F'ing Murrays only carries one can per color, so I could only buy one can of red which was entirely gone by the time I got done covering with a good coat of red. Go figure. I hate how they only carry one can per color, so effing annoying having to buy a can, do my project, wait for them to get another can, then paint more. Anyway, here's the pic:
