I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Yeah finally got the stuff from chase, lol. No I didnt paint it, I bead blasted the engine and trans then cleared them so it wont oxidize again. The quality is pretty good, but I had the plate powdercoated to match everything else im doin..saint wrote:looks amazing homie!

Re: customized engine bays. pics. theory. discussion.
I used bondo glass to fill any big metal areas that I needed to fill, then I mudded with stuff from API, and then used Icing from API, then then primed with cheap primer then guide coated that to see where I was with imperfections. Then I used the thick filler primer from API. Its 20 bucks per can and I used four cans so far. The bay is probably gonna be in paint this weekend I will update with pics..saint wrote:awesome.
