Here is a link to some progress photo's.

I have gotten the engine bay painted. It did not come out as shiny as I would have liked. I tried laying on a heavier coat but it didn't help. Almost like it flashed to quick or humidity was bothering it. This was done with a rattle can. It is a temporary finish until I do a frame off of the car someday in the future. It still looks alot nicer than it was. See the before photo's.
The engine block and head are painted with POR-15 rust preventative paint and are ready to be assembled. This will probably wait until after Christmas.
I also included a photo of my cherry veneer and the vacuum bag that I intend on using to glue it down with. The white melamine covered board is one of the platens. This bag comes from a kit developed by skateboarders. I found it at Woodcrafter's. I may try and get that glued up tonight or before we leave for the sister in laws tomorrow.
Merry Christmas everyone! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/angel.gif
