The Ospho's dry now and it's time to prime. Okay.....we've closed all the holes that aren't needed (and some that we did need....ooops!) We started out by by using metal filler for the superficial holes, and welding the ones that were more substantial. The end product after Ohspoing, , cutting, filling and sanding was:

Prime time (time to prime!!) After what we've just been through, priming didn't seem like too big of a deal (actually it felt like we felt like we were vacation after what we've just been through). Here are some photos:

....and a 12x24x4 intercooler......





Fresh brake lines have been made from scratch and installed (from from to rear). A Sparco has been test-fitted and can be seen through the windshield.



Next, it's on to the motor build!! See you in Part 3!
