A couple better pictures. Still in primer. Awaiting sanding.





Sanded with 320 Wet sandpaper.

How'd you get it so smooth? Sand it I'm assuming? If so what'd you do i with?
Looking to do the same to mine soon.


Yeah I sanded the epoxy. Also it's just plain Jane JB Weld. Nothing fancy, just time consuming, as the cure time is multiple hours.

Sanded in this order: 40-60 grit ----> 80-100 grit ---> 150-180 grit ----> Prime ----> 320 Wet (equivalent to around 220 dry) ---> Paint



Inside painted pictures next.

Outside (lit) pictures to come, once it's fully cured.

More updates to come!

Nah just the mouth, and where it's been ported.

And yeah 4 days worth of fiddling went into the manifold. Definitely time well spent.
