Here are some update pics
Since I'm a clean freak and plan to keep the bottom of the car looking nice we decided to paint the bottom with semi gloss IMRON vs. a bedliner or other rougher texture coating.
I realize I may be giving up some sound deadening quality of other coatings but that is a trade off I'm willing to make for a very sanitary bottom that I can periodically make look like new again.
Of course, that decision required some pretty intense preparation of the bottom.
Once all the basic prep and seam sealing was done inside and out, Nathan laid down a coat of epoxy primer on everything. Having the tub on the auto twirler made it a heck of a lot easier for him to get to every single nook and cranny.
After the epoxy primer was applied, Nathan then sprayed Imron to the inside, bottom of the floor and the firewall.
Next the painted motor and trans were assembled back into the subframe so it could be put back into the car along with the rear end.
The exposed aluminum portions of the engine and the transmission were painted with a high temperature nano ceramic coating so they will look new and fresh for years to come.
V8TV puts the drivetrain back in before doing the final bodywork so all the gaps and body lines will be perfect and not shifted due to the weight of the driveline.
The subframe and drivetrain are wrapped to protect them during the upcoming bodywork and paint phase.
